<p class="MsoNormal">As the owner of several .com domains, I would like to lodge my dissatisfaction at this process, especially the lack of transparency.  Verisign is a commercial organisation and has no vested interest in maintaining the status quo of the
 internet.  To grant a TLD operator license to sell domains is also a clear violation of conflict of interest.  ICANN receiving $20m from this contract does a significant amount of damage to ICANN’s reputation.<o:p></o:p></p>
