This is a comment regarding the ICANN decision to raise rates...seemingly without limits and to taking advantage of their position within the Domain Name registration world. The internet is one way that new entrepreneurs can get started. Our funds are limited and I personally will have to drop several domain names if these rate increases occur. I would ask you to consider attempting to get funds from those who grabbed exclusive names just in order to resell them as an alternate source of funds. I don't think pushing our current rates higher will benefit you in the long run. Please reconsider this.
