[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] ICANN .com price agreement

[B Talbot]

I am a domain owner and I oppose the increase in .com price. If ICANN
is going to relinquish it's role in pricing oversite, the management of
.com should be bid out and not assigned to a single entity with no
competitive pricing.

In addition, the $20m kickback to fund undisclosed ICANN programs
establish a poor practice of "pay to play" when dealing with ICANN.
ICANN should be working in a transparent manner in the public interest
and not looking to fund itself while allowing a private company to
monopolize the registration process and prices.
