The price increases for domain names that you recently announced will cause harm to individuals, businesses, and the Internet as a whole. The secrecy and the unchecked increases over the next several years will make .COM domans less accessible for everyone. These changes will have a significant impact on the Internet for years to come. It will also curtain competition and choice for registrars of .COM domains. Thank you for your consideration.
