Hello,

Please do not give Verisign alone the ability to suspend a domain. Verisign should should not be given the ability to destroy a website/company without due process of law. And while Verisign may say that this is not applicable they as a company do not have the right to effictively destroy another company without going through the legal system which this proposal would do. The after the fact dispute process is meaningless as any damage will have already been done by an improper take-down.

The suspension of a domain would render what is likely the primary method of communication with said company unavailable. And in the worst case scenario a domain that was incorrectly suspended could cause a life threatening situation to become deadly. I know this sounds melodramatic but imagine that a doctor's messaging service that converts emergency emails to texts gets suspended and his patient tries to contact him but he cant because some completely unassociated person is using a sub domain site of the same registrant is doing something that flags the domain as abusive.

In addition part c could be used by Verisign to suspend and domain of any company who files suit against them.

I believe that this proposal gives Verisign more power than a single company should hold.

Thank you

Trae Watkins
