Oppositon to proposed changes

[Domains Admin <domains@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am writing to respectfully voice my objections to the proposed changes 
as written.
I can only assume, despite the timing and lack of publicity surrounding 
these proposals, that the intent behind them is honorable.  However, the 
wording of these documents presents a slippery slope that leaves the 
system open to abuse and to pricing practices detrimental to 
organizations, small businesses and other interests lacking unlimited 
funds in their domain budgets:
1)  Removal of the price caps could lead to a scenario where established 
organizations and businesses with "desirable" names would be effectively 
forced to relinquish the domains upon which they have build their brand, 
due to inability to plan for or afford the increased renewal fees.
Small businesses, organizations and individuals stand to be the most 
heavily affected by the increases in domain renewal and registration 
prices which removing the price caps would allow.  They are the ones 
most likely to have their websites and livelihoods running on .org, 
.info or .biz domains.
2)  Removal of the price caps could also set the stage for a form of 
censorship, whereby websites with content or political viewpoints  which 
the registry found objectionable could, in theory, be priced out of 
business.
3) The provision allowing for "making commercial use of, or collecting, 
traffic data regarding domain names or non-existent domain names" for 
purposes which include "promoting the sale of domain names" is also 
deeply troubling for the reasons stated above.  Will traffic data be 
used to set renewal prices? Non profit organizations frequently have 
sites which see a good amount of traffic yet are run by volunteers and 
on a tight budget.
Furthermore, I fail to see any justification as to which shortcomings in 
the current system make these changes necessary.
I respectfully ask that you reconsider and remove the objectionable 
clauses regarding lifting of price caps, tiered/variable  pricing, and 
the collection and commercial use of domain traffic data from these 
contracts.
