Dear ICANN, I am concerned about the amendments 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, such as mine, that would see this as an increased burden. Further there are many individual users that have purchased their own domain name and are using it for personal use, not commercial use. Some of us have multiple domain names, if for no other reason than to protect our own names from being used to run a website. The .com TLD should remain affordable and available to a wide range of users.
