Very concerned with reports I’m hearing about potential fee increases for .com domain registrations possibly in 8 out of the next 10 years, and with no bounds/limits? If true, it puts a lot of small businesses like mine at further risk – we face mounting labor costs, regulatory costs, city and state taxes – it really adds up and makes it very tough to stay in business. I STRONGLY encourage doing everything possible to keep domain costs at a low level.

I’m also disturbed to hear that Verisign will pay ICANN $20M --- that seems a guarantee that domain fees will rise when they want their payback. That seems like a conflict of interest to ICANNs stated reason to exist…
