Opposed to Variable Pricing

[Mark Munz <unmarked@xxxxxxx>]

Dear ICANN,

As an existing owner of domains, I am vehemently opposed to this  
incredibly vague proposal to lift price controls. This approach, on  
the surface, seems to be nothing more than an attempt of a greedy  
organization to "cash-in" on efforts of someone else's work. If my  
work with a particular domain makes it a valuable name, the registry  
operator would be open to flat out extortion, being able to raise the  
price of the domain renewal because of my efforts.
The vagueness of the proposal is clearly an attempt to open the  
floodgates to allow virtually any pricing schemes in.
This is a bad idea, there appears to be absolutely no justification  
other than "Following extensive consideration and discussion", which  
is to say NO JUSTIFICATION. Because we "discussed it and considered  
it" is not justification for this type of action. Sadly, this looks  
to be nothing more than an act of greed.
This is a bad idea and needs to stop now.

Sincerely,

Mark Munz
