To Whom This Concerns, The proposed price increase and continued yearly increase is wholly unjustified. There are not the requirements of increased management, thereby increasing costs, to oversee this particular level of domain names. The (dot) coms are no more difficult to "manage" than any other domain name. Management falls upon the registrants and registrars. The cost increases are being proposed as a way to turn the most commonly used, most desirable, and most recognizable domain into a "cash cow". The proposal takes full advantage of forcing registrants to pay more and more at the cost of losing aspects of their business(es) and eliminating access to highly valuable resources. The proposed increase is unconscionable, unprecedented, and unnecessary. Thank you for your time.
