Ladies and Gentlemen of ICANN, I strongly oppose the proposal allowing unlimited fee increases for .org domain names. Uncapped increases will make it financially unsustainable for small organizations and nonprofits to maintain their web pretense. When websites shutter, and web content is lost everyone loses. Furthermore, if price caps are removed for .org, it would set a precedent for .com and .net TLDs as well, fueling more price hikes. Such could quickly result in millions of domains becoming out of reach for small groups and individuals. In public interest, please do not eliminate the cap on fees for .org. Shawn Albert
