<p>Dear ICANN,</p>
<p>Please do not allow Verisign to increase wholesale prices to
registrars. I can hardly afford to register my own domain plus
hosting services to maintain my own website. Allowing increased
prices would shut down a lot of small website operators, meaning
much of the internet's websites would go down simply because of
cost. I also disagree with Verisign being allowed to become a
domain registrar, this is an anti-competitive practice. Making
these changes that benefit Verisign while recieving a $20 million
kick-back is not right for the public and is extremely damaging to
website owners like myself.<br>
</p>
<p>Thank you,<br>
Ira</p>
