Dear ICANN Team, I am writing to express my displeasure with your proposed increase in .com domain prices in collaboration with commercial organization Verisign Inc. The internet is a beautiful place that is responsible for bringing some of the poorest people out of poverty with the use of easily accessible domains. This move by your organization will only serve to prevent social mobility and promote further inequality. Please do well to revise this decision. Keeping the internet open and accessible to everyone is paramount. Regards, Bamai Namata Founder & Managing Director Tel: +237 678352269 Maibeta Inc.
