This change should be rejected. The current provision which allows Afilias Limited to do an annual increase of up to 10% a year is more than adequate, considering that the costs of inflation is well below 10%. If anything, ICANN should propose limiting annual increases to less than 10% but 10% should be the ceiling in order to not allow price-gouging of small entities which use the .info domain.</font></span></div><div class=""><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><font color="#6d6e70" face="Open Sans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" size="3" class=""><br class=""></font></span></div><div class=""><font color="#6d6e70" face="Open Sans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" size="3" class=""><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">Sincerely,</span></font></div><div class=""><font color="#6d6e70" face="Open Sans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" size="3" class=""><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><br class=""></span></font></div><div class=""><font color="#6d6e70" face="Open Sans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" size="3" class=""><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">Michael C.
