Public Comment is a vital part of our multistakeholder model. It provides a mechanism for stakeholders to have their opinions and recommendations formally and publicly documented. It is an opportunity for the ICANN community to effect change and improve policies and operations.

I am writing to express my deep concern over the recent .net proposal agreement with Verisign regarding the .net domain registry. In particular, I am troubled by the provision that allows governments to seize .net domains in certain circumstances.
While I understand the need for law enforcement to be able to take action against illegal activities online, I believe that this provision sets a dangerous precedent. Giving governments the power to seize domain names without due process or oversight raises serious questions about freedom of expression and the rule of law.
Moreover, the lack of transparency and accountability around this provision is deeply troubling. It is unclear what criteria governments must meet in order to seize a domain, or how ICANN will ensure that these actions are in line with international human rights standards.
I urge ICANN to revisit this provision and to work with Verisign to create a more transparent and accountable process for handling domain name seizures. The internet is a global public resource that should be governed in the public interest, and we must ensure that any measures taken to protect it are grounded in principles of transparency, accountability, and human rights.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
