To Whom It May Concern, I have several websites that I use for my book selling and other purposes. Maintaining a website is a lot of work and the cost of domains has always been fairly priced. But it seems as of late, ICANN has been making back room deals out of the public eye and driving up prices for domain registration. This will hurt small businesses that attempt to have a presence on the internet. With the prior action of the .ORG fiasco, and now this same travesty with .COM, it appears ICANN is trying make the internet a place where only large, wealthy corporate interests can make their brand known. This is an outrage and as a customer and holder of several domains, .ORG. NET and .COM I and a host of others, united in voice demand ICANN to scrap their backroom deal and come to an amicable fee for domain registry. Thank You, Jon K. Hager Riverton, Utah
