As a registrant of many .COM domains that are the lifeblood of my businesses, I am vigorously opposed to the Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement. .COM are not just registered by big corporations with deep pockets. They are also registered by many, many micro and small businesses. 

Also I am on the Board of a number of non-profit organizations that also have .com domains registered to protect their domain name and brand. Price increases would also be devastating for them.

I understand that .COM wholesale domain prices can grow by more than 70% over and above current prices over the next decade. The contract also allows for other price increases, which could drive prices up further, ultimately making .COM domains less accessible and more expensive for everybody.  

Please don't go forward with this agreement as it will hurt all of us who register .COM domains.
