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

[David Schlachter]

To whom it may concern:

As the owner of a dot com domain (davidschlachter.com), I see no reason why Verisign's share of fees should increase at a rate higher than inflation. Costs of maintaining the dot com registry should decrease (per domain) year over year as efficiencies are implemented. If costs are increasing they are a result of a) no competition or b) perverse incentives encouraging over-spending. In the public interest fees should be kept at similar levels in perpetuity.
