<p>To Whom It May Concern,</p>
<p class="copy-16" style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;
line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 22px 0px;">I am appalled at
your attempt to make significant changes to your contract with
Verisign, Inc. in regards to .COM domains without consulting
internet users or the ICANN community of domain registrars. <br>
</p>
<p class="copy-16" style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;
line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 22px 0px;">These changes would
significantly increase wholesale prices in the future, which in
turn would greatly affect customers like myself who rely on
various domains to run a business. The Internet has become an
integral aspect of modern life, which means that many people, like
me, will renew their domains for many years to come. These
proposed changes would make .COM domains less accessible and more
expensive for everybody. </p>
<p class="copy-16" style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;
line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 22px 0px;">Furthermore,
Verisign already controls almost 80% of the registrar pricing for
domain names, so allowing it to operate its own registrar or as a
reseller would compete directly with all domain registrars,
maximizing its control of domain name pricing to the detriment of
other
registrars. Fewer registrars would harm competition, choice, and
domain name services. <br>
</p>
<p class="copy-16" style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;
line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 22px 0px;">I strongly OPPOSE
any changes to your contract with Verisign, and hope you will not
ignore the unified outrage of the internet community, like you've
done in the past, out of arrogance and greed.<br>
</p>
<p class="copy-16" style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;
line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 22px 0px;">Sincerely,</p>
<p class="copy-16" style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;
