Hello, I am a one-person business that has had my .com domain name registered for over 10 years now. The maintenance fees, which allow me the privilege of keeping this domain, and really provide me no other value added, should be dropping, not increasing over time. There is absolutely no justification for the proposed escalation in prices for .com domain names, and particularly not for those that have been registered for years and are in nothing but "maintenance mode." I strenuously object to a pricing structure that would allow the prices for .com domains to increase very significantly over the coming years.
