[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement

[Richard Aylward]

I am under no illusion as to the reason for this deal. Pure and simple - GREED. I also know that any public opposition will be completely ignored and probably the most that will happen is that ICANN will issue a statement explaining the excellent, (non-profit), reasons for the need to increase. These of course will be poppycock and of more interest will be the bank statements of the Directors along with lists of any other investment holdings they have. Simply put; they see an opportunity to make more money and believe that everyone will just pay. No doubt their calculations will allow for a percentage loss of registrations, (of which I will be one), but the long term objective of more money will be achieved. In essence, they're no different from a pimp or drug baron. Create a need and market, then hike the prices.

At the very least, I would want to see accounts detailing exactly where the money has been invested, (besides 1st class travel everywhere for them).

If you've read this far, I'll be very surprised as I really don't think you care what people think.

Best regards
Richard

It’s not the destinations along the way, but the whole journey that is the experience
