Hi Russ/ICANN,
Your job is to make domain names cheaper for us, customers (website owners) - not more expensive and unavailable to many!
I've been using com/org/net - even after you introduced (MONOPOLY ON) dot super, dot dentist dot guru & sooo manyy others, company owned domains - all w/ two things in common - a terrible pricing on user/my end AND monopoly (one company owns one personalized TLD.
Don't you think that domains should be affordable? Especially com/net/org/biz/info.
Work for: PEOPLE ! Small web owners and businesses who DO CARE FOR EVEN THE SLIGHTEST PRICE INCREASE (less than 1usd/y, for example)
Don't work for: registrars, companies and others who own multi million dolar businesses.
Dont make domains all about money. They're common good!
Regards from ISP's (from Belgrade, Serbia) technician, but mainly - small website owner. (Owning 20 domains myself, mainly com/net AND org/biz)
