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,
