Verisign Settlement

["Kellie Peterson" <kpeterson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm writing to lodge strong opposition on behalf of Endurance
International Group, Inc against the approval of the agreement between
ICANN and Verisign.

We feel that:

*       The ICANN Board of Directors, should not approve the agreement
between ICANN and Versign in its current form. 
*       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
should be given indefinite control over them, especially one as
important as .com. 

*       Any price increases by VeriSign's or any other registry should
be cost-based and subject to approval. 
*       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 a single registry's
profits. 

Sincerely,

 

Kellie Peterson
