terrible agreement with Verisign will kill the internet

[Eli Shoval <shoval@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The settlement between ICANN and Verisign is not right!!  What about the
customers?  It is not fair to have one company monopolize something that
so many people rely on.



*       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
