Hello,<br>
<br>
I am against allowing Verisign and ICANN to increase prices for .com
domains. <br>
This is something that will allow them to reap additional revenue
from larger domains while hurting the smaller domain owners like
myself that are driving innovation and growth word wide. <br>
It is only because .com names are affordable that many people can
start and online presence outside of a platform like Facebook. <br>
Increasing the fees raises the barrier to entry and will funnel more
people to platforms. <br>
<br>
This ham-fisted money grab is a case of killing the goose that lays
golden eggs. <br>
Please do not allow it to go forward.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
<br>
Ray <br>
