Dear whom it may concern,
An increase in the cost of annual price of domain will adversely affect the viability of small businesses like mine www.smart-ink.biz . I am an individual artist who sells what I create on this site. These domain names are one of the last corners of a democratic internet where the little guy can prosper and have a voice. I implore ICANN to scrap any plans to remove the cap of these urls, which make personal websites affordable.
Thank you.
