Hello,
I am a registrant of a .com domain name, which is not used in a manner that generates sufficient income to support excessive cost. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains, as I can only justify holding onto this domain if the price remains low.
No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices. They are merely your manager of the .COM Registry – they has no business dictating the price.
The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified.
ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest, and this is clearly outside that mandate.
