Proposed .BIZ, .INFO AND .ORG gTLD Registry Agreements

["Edward Trustham" <info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To the ICANN Board,

The lifting of price controls for org, biz and info is a detrimental and short 
sighted
proposition which, I believe, has been proposed without the consideration of 
business owners/site creators within these name spaces. 
The idea of increasing renewal/registration fees possibly in line with a 
domain's perceived value (perceived by whom and how?) is fundamentally flawed 
both in terms of commercial sense and indeed morally. A great many people and 
organisations have invested many years of hard work and money building sites 
and businesses around these extensions. The internet has evolved and succeeded 
due to sensible and consistent domain registration fees. I do not want to see 
the internet turned into a virtual wasteland and I especially do not want to 
see thousands of small businesses destroyed.
The proposition of no price controls should be erased, permanently.
