<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings –</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As a small business owner, I depend upon my website for my survival. Every expenditure is important and planned for. The monopolistic aspects of this proposal really disturb me. Yes, the proposed 8 out of 10 year increase (which is surely
going to be implemented) provides a lot of uncertainty for me, but the fact that the administrator of domain names can also sell and control domains is very troubling in the very possible (some might say probable) unfair business advantages that can be exploited
by a less-than-scrupulous operator. The potential to charge more to your competitors than you do to yourself is a very unfair business advantage, especially when the end user is required to maintain this feature.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please count my opinion as opposing this proposal.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you.</p>
