[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Why would you think this is a good idea?

Good afternoon! This effectively makes small business owners take a large hit in expenses. As a business owner, not only do I have to own a .COM but, like other responsible brand owners, I also have to maintain holdings on most other domain endings (.NET, .ORG, etc.) in order to prevent people from purchasing and misrepresenting my brand. Other domains are already more expensive than .COM. Why would you force this upon people trying to make a living? Cordially, Nicole Vick
