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

[Gloria Liang]

I oppose these changes. This is an unethical and greedy move allowing
Verisign to benefit extraordinarily at the expense of users. A 7% increase
a year means that by the end of 10 years I'll be paying at *least* 70% more
than current prices for my domains. Price increases may be necessary over
time to remain competitive, but that's an absurd inflation rate based on
pure greed.

On your own website you claim:

"ICANN is a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with participants
from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable
and interoperable. It promotes competition and develops policy on the
Internet's unique identifiers. Through its coordination role of the
Internet's naming system, it does have an important impact on the expansion
and evolution of the Internet."

This move will demonstrate that you are not, in fact, a "public-benefit"
corporation that "promotes competition".

Please visit your own website https://www.icann.org/get-started to remind
yourselves what your mission is because you seem to have lost your way.

If ICANN moves ahead with this, it will prove that it is *NOT* a reputable
or trustworthy organisation and that it has failed in its mission to the
public and its role in stewardship of the internet with accountability and
transparency.

I implore you to please remember why your organisation exists and who you
are accountable to.


Sincerely,

Gloria Liang
