I am concerned about this amendment to the Registry Agreement because it

will affect, not just me, buy any individual who would like their own

domain name.  I am 100% sure that no corporation will object to the 28%

cost increase every six years as they earn money off their domain name and

paying almost any amount would be acceptable to them.  However, there are a

great deal of small businesses that would see this as a burden as well as

individual users out there that have purchased their own domain name and

are using it for personal use, not commercial use.  Many people have

multiple domain names, if for no other reason than to protect our own names

from being used to run a website. 

Please keep the annual fee very low or consider a more flexible charging

system for the .COM top level domain that will keep it accessible to

individuals and small businesses.

Thank you,

Samantha Gray
