Opposing the tiered pricing & the removal of pricing caps

["Acroplex Technologies LLC" <acroplex@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear ICANN,

Does the ICANN committee wish to attain notoriety by being known as
the very few that damaged so many in so little time, through these
proposals?

Put aside for a minute your personal agendas, capitalist driving force
and current perception of the domain market's particulars.

Removing the pricing caps and allowing the Registries to facilitate
tiered pricing would be a disastrous move. How would each domain name,
be it .ORG,.BIZ,.INFO be evaluated? Who would weigh the millions of
domains worldwide and tag them with a separate or approximate price?

We are not opposed to price-increasing, within reason. It has not been
a long time since Verisign/Network Solutions charged $50 per year per
domain. The Internet moved forward by removing the Registrar
monopolies and by keeping prices competitive.

We are opposed to the predictable anarchy, chaos and across-the-board
destruction that will occur if those loopholes are not closed and if
the proposed agreements are implemented as they are, without ensuring
protection of the end-users, commercial operators and investors. Legal
battles can and *will* carry on for years at a full world scale, by
everyone who would be affected by this committee's single act of
foresight lacking.

You're holding the button to the first Internet War - and it will
truly be global this time.

Sincerely,

Theo Develegas
President
