Dear Sir/Madam, This is with reference to the proposed amendment 3 to the .com registry wherein ICANN is unilaterally allowing Verizon to increase the .com domain prices. This is an arbitrary decision and an anti-competitive one. It does not bode well for the internet at-large. I am writing this email to protest against the said amendment and it should be outrightly quashed. ICANN must desist from giving such rights to the TLD holder wherein monopolistic practices can lead to making it difficult for startups and public to avail a .com domain at reasonable price, especially those in developing countries. ICANN has fiduciary responsibility towards the public and must desist from giving such rights to Verizon. Thank you. Regards, Aashutosh Magdum Quadridge Technologies +917600074679
