Dear ICANN and Verisign, I am a registrant with a domain name. I want to protest the proposed price hikes for domain names. I am a freelance writer who depends upon my website for publicity and sales. My income from royalties is modest. Your proposed hikes will adversely affect my career. Please reconsider these proposed hikes and keep rates affordable. Thank you for your attention. Sincerely, Dr. Ellen Frankel -- Ellen Frankel Year-round (c) 215-266-6435 Summer landline: 207-926-8256 By USMail: Mid-June to Mid-October 113 Outlet Road New Gloucester, ME 04260 Mid-October to Mid-June: 1523 Clower Creek Drive, HA 249 Sarasota, FL 34231
