01

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure. On August 2, 2024, Verisign and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) of the Department of Commerce exchanged letters regarding the Cooperative Agreement. NTIA has posted the letters on their website ( www.ntia.gov/other-publication/2024/ntia-letter-verisign\ ). As noted in Assistant Secretary Davidson's letter, the security, stability and resilience of the internet's unique identifier systems is of paramount importance to the NTIA and the broader public interest. Verisign strongly agrees. Based on NTIA's commitment to security and stability, the Assistant Secretary's letter states that the NTIA intends to renew the Cooperative Agreement. Since 1992, the Cooperative Agreement has been an important part of the transition to a successful multistakeholder system of internet governance, and we were pleased to see NTIA's affirmation of its support to this form of internet governance in the Assistant Secretary's letter. During this time, the Domain Name System (DNS) has remained secure, stable and resilient as evidenced by Verisign's unparalleled 27-year DNS uptime record while the internet has experienced both exponential growth and ever-increasing cyber threats. Verisign is particularly proud of NTIA's recognition and appreciation for "Verisign's longstanding and effective stewardship of its responsibilities, including management of the .com registry and other critical functions of the internet's technical architecture." Verisign thanks NTIA for this recognition and appreciation. The NTIA letter also notes recent public inquiries and that NTIA has questions relating to pricing in the .com market. The Assistant Secretary's letter confirms Verisign's agreement to discuss .com pricing and the health of the .com ecosystem, including the retail and secondary markets. As Verisign noted in its response, a broad discussion about the downstream markets is important because we believe price caps on .com whol
