[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .COM Contract Allowing Potential Unreasonable Price Hikes

[roger bains]

This will mean that .COM wholesale domain prices can grow by more than 70% over and above current prices over the next decade. The contract also allows for other price increases, which could drive prices up further, ultimately making .COM domains less accessible and more expensive for everybody.

Last month, you announced significant changes to a new contract agreed to with Verisign, Inc. This agreement allows for the possibility for .com domain prices to grow by an astronomical 70% including price increases in other areas. The  internet is a part of the commons and should not be a part of the feeding trough for extreme greed and depravity!

 secret, backdoor deal was done without consulting or incorporating feedback from the ICANN community or Internet users. This will not be tolerated and the back lash will be more than you would ever want to handle! ICANN you have done this before and enough is enough, these kinds of dishonest dealing is no longer acceptable. Harmful behaviour towards the internet community will no longer be something taken lying down. Beware the hell to pay!
