Calibri;mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri">As a user of a .com website, I have concerns about the potential increases in cost, without any limits on how long these price increases could continue.
There are already a number of costs involved in website maintenance, and for a small company, additional costs start to add up. Also, there are non-profit organizations and small community organizations that could be negatively impacted by these price increases.

<span style="mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-font-family:
Calibri;mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri">I think a structure for cost increases with smaller and more measured increases, if necessary to support website security, would be preferable. Or perhaps
another structure (although more complicated) that has larger organizations paying more, and not having smaller organizations and companies feeling the brunt of these changes.
