Hello ICANN, Your plan to raise .COM prices in order to gain $20 million for yourselves is greedy and morally wrong. It will make the Internet less free, restricting good domain names to those with more resources. Your mandate is to operate "in a bottom up, consensus driven, democratic manner." You haven't done that in this case. I've always thought ICANN were the good guys. If you proceed, you'll establish your organization as a force for evil. I will be among those users of the Internet who will complain to their governments, to seek the reformation or abolishment of your organization. Thanks, Patrick
