To Whom It Concerns:

I’m very concerned about the pricing changes being proposed for .COM domains.  I started as a web developer in my teenage years and easily affordable .COM domain registrations were instrumental in building my career skills and learning development.  For this reason, I’m asking ICANN to abandon their plans concerning price changes, and continue making these domains affordable, and thereby accessible, to the next generation.  In the future I would also like to see ICANN discuss these decisions with other TLD providers and actively engage with the Internet community as a whole before pressing forward on measures such as this.

Respectfully,

Christopher McKinney
