I am a domainer (I invest in domain names as a business) or am associated with the secondary market.
I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. It's already absurd that one cannot ever fully pay for a domain name (unless, of course, you're Google, Facebook or some larger entity that won't even allow you to place a back order on those domains).
To increase their prices by 31% is ridiculous and absolutely terrible for business.
