renewal of registry contracts
In permitting even the theoretical hiking of fees for domain name renewals, ICANN is threatening nothing less than the democratic nature of the internet. As an individual, I have been using a .org domain for some years for a political and social blog website. The relatively low cost of renewing my domain name and hosting the site is extremely important to me. Operating such a site now feels like an extension of my free speech rights! I am counting on you not to do anything to erode that. Thank you. Urs A. Reinhardt |
