<p>As a small business owner I would like to voice my concern at the
proposed changes to the contract it has with Verisign, Inc. who
operate the .COM top-level-domain (TLD).<br>
<br>
Website running costs are already a large portion of my business
and to have these changes forced on us could have a significant
impact on my business <br>
<br>
I find it alarming that this proposal has been conducted behind
closed doors without consulting or incorporating feedback from the
ICANN community or Internet users.<br>
<br>
In this day and age the price of domains should be becoming
cheaper not being forced higher by a monopoly <br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>
<br>
