I have had my domain, <a href="http://ibsite.com">ibsite.com</a>, since it became available to me in the mid 00's, and I have greatly appreciated it's convenience as well as simplicity and affordability. Now I use the domain primarily as my email, but should the price significantly increase, I may well have to stop this, with all annoying consequences that has for my contacts who have, over 15 years, become used to being able to contact me at the same. I can only urge you not to monopolize your advantage of controlling the world's most simple internet domain. </span><br><span></span><br><span>Sincerely, </span><br><span></span><br><span>Ib Knutsen</span><br><span>Norway</span><br><span><a href="http://Ibsite.com">Ibsite.com</a></span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><a href="https://www.icann.org/public-comments/com-amendment-3-2020-01-03-en/mail_form">https://www.icann.org/public-comments/com-amendment-3-2020-01-03-en/mail_form</a></div><div></div></body></html>
