Dear ICANN, I am a self-employed artist and I am against a price increase as proposed in the .org Renewal Agreement proposed by ICANN. According to the Public Comments section of the renewal proposal page on icann.org, a price increase is proposed for .org, .info, and .biz websites. I myself use a .org domain, which I purchased from a domain name service that was recommended from a friend. I use my site as an online portfolio, and a price increase to such .org domains will make it harder for artists, writers, bloggers, and anyone else that wants to start a small nonprofit organization or site, to do so, if the prices increase. It says that prices are not proposed to increase for current domain name holders--but what if I want to start a new site? Will the price increase for my next purchase? The proposal page is worded very opaquely, with language that is difficult to understand, with numerous links to laws, and the price increase is only briefly mentioned 6 or 7 paragraphs down - the most important point that small businesspeople would care about. This particular change should not pass to keep power in the hands of individuals, and to keep it out of larger corporations, or domain name service organizations that might not treat smaller businesses so well (as I have heard, this is the case with GoDaddy). Sincerely, M
