Hello, I have read and strongly oppose the .COM Registry Agreement. Increasing domain prices will disproportionately hurt small-business owners and individuals—like myself—who rely on shoe-string budgets to keep their online presence afloat. To large organizations, this will be a drop in the bucket but, to individuals and small-businesses this could be a barrier toward even existing at all. This proposal clearly intends to keep small entrepreneurs off of .com domains. I ask that you consider listening to the voices of people like me and not move forward with this amendment. Thank you, Brianna Sharkey Portland, OR
