[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement Inquiry
To: ICANN, I, an owner of a .COM domain, am providing feedback to the "Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement" Public Comment period against the latest moves of ICANN and Verisign. I do not support the decision based on: 1. The lack of transparency in ICANN choosing Verisign. I support full transparency to the public in such matters. 2. The lack of public bidding for partnering with ICANN. I support market competition in finding partners. 3. The new Verisign monopoly powers that will allow it to control all domain prices. As an owner of 80% of registrar pricing this is too much power. I support weakening Verisign by not giving it more power than it already has. 4. The new Verisign powers to increase .COM domains by a 7% per year (2020-2023), a three year freeze on price increases, a 7% per year (2026-2029), and so on. I support zero price increases. 5. The lack of oversight for $20 million USD from Verising to ICANN. I support full public oversight over such matters. Thanks, E. Tamasdan
