I am opposed to removing the price cap structure for the Public Internet Registry. While removing the pricing limitations will enable the free-market to set pricing, this can also cause significant pricing increases or price gouging. There are already problems with the domain name resale market being manipulated by several companies that grab expiring names and hold them for exorbitant unrealistic ransom. This unregulated process is absurd and is a good example of what could happen without proper regulation. Again, I am opposing removing the price cap structure for the Public Internet Registry contract renewal. Kurt Plowman Chief Technology Officer City of Staunton
