I OPPOSE any removal for the 10%/annum price increase. .ORG, .NET and .COM are accorded a certain level of legitimacy by being the oldest non-country TLDs which are open to registration by all members of the public. They are intended to support the open nature of the internet as a platform - political, social, and entrepreneurial. Removing this cap will allow Verisign to freely price smaller entrants out of the market in favour of larger companies which can afford to pay more for the perceived legitimacy of a .ORG address. Verisign would have ample incentive to charge as much as the market will bear, running contrary to ICANN's neutral purpose for existing. Generic TLDs must remain affordable, and this is particularly the case for charitable organizations and non-profits -- exactly the people .ORG is meant to serve. Yours Paul Hocker, Eden Prairie, MN
