New proposals

["Simsi" <simsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Having been alerted to and read these new proposals for .org, .info and 
.biz, I'm very worried. As I understand it, the domains I have spent a lot 
of time and money investing in developing can effectively be held for ransom 
at renewal time by the registry. Is that correct? If so, that is outrageous. 
I would effectively be being blackmailed and could have my domain name 
effectively out-priced and revoked by the registry and resold at profit to 
someone else with all the added benefits of the traffic I have generated.

I can't believe this - this can't be right? In my opinion, renewals of 
existing domains should be capped at a price equal to the original price 
agreed in the terms of purchase with inflation factored in. I have no 
objection to new registrations costing more, so long as they are reasonable 
and achievable to the average layman, but this initiative should not affect 
renewals.

Cheers,

Ian Sims
