I'm commenting specifically about allowing annual price increases to .com domains. With the online platforms becoming more closed and protected, direct ownership of a website is the only way for free expression that remains unhinged and open to all. Opening the gate for annual price increases will shut that last gate of free expression off. Free expression should not be subservient to commercial interests. Corporations will always want to make more money. It's fine; it's their goal - I am a business person too. But whatever claims are made, it is clear the domain system and commercial activities around are flourishing already. Proper capitalism protects limited public resources - .com domains are exactly that type of resource. Price increases are just not required. Thank you for reading, Itamar
