Dear ICANN Please allow me to express my opinion that your dealings behind closed doors to increase prices on the .com market violates interests of market participants and is going to harm the market itself and all participants involved. It is well known fact in economics that monopoly is harmful and counterproductive. Please stop your dealings and price hikes. Michael Apter, CPA 845-445-0058 <mailto:am@mdalc.com> am@mdalc.com
