Tiered pricing of domain names will hurt Churches and Ministries

["Richard Dalton" <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear ICANN,
 
As a pastor and inter city ministry who has some public service websites
with little funding I have to add my voice to the chorus of strong
opposition to the tiered pricing of domain names that would be included. in
the latest contract administering the .biz, .info. and .org TLDs. 
 
Domain pricing uncertainty will have a chilling effect on churches,
non-profits and businesses, while simultaneously allowing 3rd parties to
profit from the hard work of others.  
 
This move would also eliminate the  critical and long-standing neutral role
of registrars and opens them (and  probably you) up to a landslide of
litigation.
 
We urge you in the strongest possible terms to abandon this plan.
 
Sincerely,  
 
Richard Dalton
