Hello, I am a domain name reseller to average joe end-users and the proposed price increase schedule and percentages are going to squeeze the smaller resellers like myself who already have very thin margins in order to compete with the big box registrars. Small resellers provide superior customer service and target niche use cases for domain names. Small resellers are also helpful to people who are not very internet savvy and appreciate familiar support relationships that are on a first name basis. If I pass on price increases, many customers will drop their back-shelf names or transfer to larger registrars who's large scale and extensive up-sell opportunities allows them to absorb price increases. Price increases are also unfair for lower income individuals who can not afford to plan ahead and renew their domain for 10 years at the lower rates before an increase. Thank you for your consideration. Ben Braman in Tucson, AZ 520-975-5923
