I am a domainer (I invest in domain names as a business).
I am strongly against the proposed price increase to .COM domains and I feel that the current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified.
Verisign is merely your manager of the .COM Registry – it has no business dictating the price and I believe that ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest.
