Aloha ICANN representative, Please continue restricting what whole registries can charge per domain name per year. The price cap helps keep the internet "open to all", which is "at the heart of ICANN's policy-makiing," to quote icann.org. I have registered igmabsorbers.info for several years now to disseminate the results of my astronomical research. I currently $15/yr out of my own pocket to provide this service to the astronomical community (both professional and amateur). If this grows too large (say $50–$100), it will not be worth it. This may happen eventually with the current 10% fee increase in the ICANN contracts but removing the cap will expedite the closing of my site. Mahalo for your consideration, Kathy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dr. Kathy Cooksey kcooksey@hawaii.edu | Ph. 808.932.7195 | Rm.
