[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Concern to Proposed Amendment 3

[Uros Durdevic]

Dear Madam, or Sir,

As an individual and a startup founder, I am concerned about this amendment
to the Registry Agreement, because it will affect, not just me, but any
individual who would like their own domain name. I am quite certain that
none of the corporations will object to the 28% cost increase every six
years as they earn money off their domain name and paying almost any amount
would be acceptable to them. However, there is a big amount of small
businesses that would see this as a burden as well as individual users that
have purchased their own domain name and are using it for personal use, not
commercial use.

Additionally, as an example, some of us have multiple domain names, for
personal, commercial as well as charity. For each additional increase the
amount that could go to charity would be cut out just to keep the domain
which I don't see very helpful, especially in todays time where we should
focus on helping the Planet instead.

This is why, in the spirit of entrepreneurship and environment, please You
to keep the annual fee very low or consider a more flexible charging system
for the .COM top level domain that will keep it accessible to individuals
and small businesses. Thank you!

Best regards,
Uros Durdevic
