[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Forgetting small player

[Marie-Anne Nonyme]

Hello there,

This is a comment regarding small business and the proposed amendment.

With .com now being the standard and have strong demand, I totally get your
motivation in increasing the prices: fewer .com domain available, good
notoriety and more people interested. However, please do not forget small
company who own .com domain.

We are a small business and back in 2007, we chose a .com domain (instead
of .ca). We could have chosen a .ca (but it's two late now), but we didn't.
It is now sad to see that ICANN want's to take a decision that will harm a
lot of small business that have a limited budget for their online presence,
even if it is those small businesses who contribute to make .com domain
popular.

I hope ICANN will not abuse its power at the expense of the small companies
that have contributed to its success.

Thank you,
Marie-Anne Nonyme
