This new policy seems illegal, where ICANN is specifically supporting Verisign instead of the Internet as a whole. Almost the entire reason everyone forced a breakup of the domain name monopoly was due to Verisign's overcharging. Now, ICANN is proposing free, virtually unmitigated price increases? How many small businesses or individuals is ICANN trying to destroy, or simply kill the .com domains completely? Is ICANN now a subsidiary, or mistress to Verisign? I strongly disagree with the decision to allow Verisign that much influence and pricing control. Best Regards, Samuel A.
