Opposed to variable pricing

["Cheryl Gonzalez" <cheryl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To the ICANN Board,

WHY have you attempted to HIDE this major alteration in the 
method by which fees are determined and paid for 
the renewal of domain names?

I do not view this proposal as being reasonable as it is an 
attempt to take MY profits!  I do not agree that you are 
entitled to them based on a NAME!  

As a small business owner who has made a considerable investment 
of time and money in developing the domain names I own, I am 
firmly against the variable pricing of domain names.

Many small business entreprenuers make their living on the 
internet with their domain names used for selling products, 
information, services, etc. and provide a REAL service to the 
public.  You are taking away the ability to budget in their 
business, since no method of pricing is being disclosed!

The internet has allowed many to own businesses who did not 
have the start up capital to own a brick and mortar business. 
The registrars already have much more revenue than most of them 
will ever see in their lifetimes, yet the power will be given to 
Registrars to decide who will or will not stay in business?  
What kind of monopoly is that and it would seem to be against 
the laws of entrepreneurism!

I am firmly opposed to the variable pricing of domain names 
by the .info registry.
