lack of pricing caps

["Philip Gusterson" <philip@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Sir,

 

I am writing to express concern on pricing at the .com and .net registries.

 

Specifically, I ask that ICANN does everything it can to prevent registries
from monopolistic pricing of URLs.

 

As a registrant I ask ICANN to prevent Verisign opening pricing discussions
related to the .com and .net registries. 

 

Variable pricing for domains that are already registered would be a very
problematic situation. The domain "google.com" was meaningless and of
limited value until just a few years ago - it would be quite unjustified for
a registry to now seek to share in the domain name value that has been
created by the business. 

 

Regards,
