[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Unfair Price Increases

[Julia Paterson]

Good Day,

I am writing to register my disagreement with the proposed increases to
domain prices.

The fact that these changes were made IN SECRET WITH ONE COMPANY speaks
volumes to the lack of honesty and integrity with the whole process -
especially when it affects MILLIONS of users - those who are trying to make
a living online - ensuring their families are taken care of.

With jobs disappearing pretty much every day due to automation, etc., many
are turning to the internet to literally feed their families and keep a
roof over their heads.  By increasing prices so drastically over so many
years, you have basically decided to take food out of children's mouths and
clothes off their backs.  How noble of you - NOT!!  Would you like that
done to your loved ones?  I doubt it!!

It is hard enough to start and grow any kind of business - and building a
successful online business requires a LOT of training and knowledge - as
well as YEARS of hard work!!

I think it appropriate for you to cancel this very unfair agreement that
not only lines ICANN's pockets, but also VeriSign's - thereby allowing
budding entrepreneurs a CHANCE at success without undue and unfair pressure
right from the initial launch of their business.

Think again about how YOU would like to be "penalized" year after year with
such high increases.
