To whom it may concern,

I am a registrant of a .com domain name.

I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains.

No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices.

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.

ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest.

The current price structure is perfectly sufficient, in my opinion, at this time.  For small time domain holders an increase would price it out of reasonable range.  Thank you for your time.
