.com settlement

["Muir, Constance" <CMuir@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear ICANN,

 

Regarding the proposed settlement with Verisign:

 

*       The proposed .com renewal contract should be reworked to reflect
the Internet community's concerns. 
*       The gTLD namespaces are a public trust; no registry operator,
including VeriSign, should be given indefinite control over them,
especially one as important as .com. 
*       VeriSign's unilateral price increases that are not cost-based
and not subject to approval should not be allowed. 
*       All ICANN fees should continue to be approved by the Internet
community. 
*       Internet users should not have to pay an unreasonable "ICANN
Tax" or pay more for domain names just to increase VeriSign's profits. 

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Constance Muir
