[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Raising of .com registration fees

[Ben Holt]

Hello,

I wish to voice my objections to the raising of registration fees paid
to Verisign for .com domain registrations.  The 7% per year for 4 year
fee increases are well above the rate of inflation and does not reflect
the costs associated with running a domain registration business.  It is
ICANN's job to protect domain registrants from abuses of Verisign's
monopoly position.  In this instance it appears that ICANN is instead an
enabler of Verisigns abuses.  This is extremely unfortunate and not in
keeping with expectations.

Yours truly,

Ben Holt
