To whom it may concern, I recently found out about the .COM amendment, specifically the pricing changes planned for said domains. As both a customer that owns hundreds of .COM domains, as well as a whole-seller I highly disagree and oppose the proposed changes. It will unfairly penalize small business owners and those who hold large domain portfolios on behalf of their clients, some of which have domains for their personal hobbies. Furthermore, I will be forced to drop hundreds of domains which are considered "typo" domains, common misspellings of domains our clients use as the price increase would not justify owning them any longer. The current service/registration fees are more than enough. How can it be that other TLD's have cheaper fees and manage fine, why would the most recognized TLD in the world need a price increase in their fees after all of these years. Verisign is merely your manager of the .COM Registry – it has no business dictating the price. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest, not for profit.
