I have owned my domain for years. My email, my identity is tied to this domain. This agreement will make my personal domain registration too expensive to afford and force me to abandon my online identity and brand. This agreement renders registration (which is already expensive considering how small the overhead is for registrars) unattainable for the general public. Something stinks about this deal. Instead of accepting $20 million from Verisign, why not just raise your icann fee? I'd rather pay your organization directly than enrich verisign which has a monopoly on the .com TLD.
