The proposed changes that will result in price of domains names is unfair, undemocratic and will undermine trust in top level domain names. Why risk buyin a top level domain and build a brand on it when it can be expected that prices can rise consideraly without warning or consultation? This will drive individuals, businesses and organizations to social media and/or subdonains where they can get a presence cheaply or for free, that will become the norm. Besides, there is nothing stopping entrepreneurs or governments of e.g. China in building a second internet with its own nameservers, its own 'icann,' for people to put up their domains, and they will if its cheaper.
