The proposed price increase of the .COM registry is unnecessary and greedy move by ICANN. The cost of facilitating a registry, in this case by Verisign, has never been cheaper on a per domain basis. Therefore there is no satisfactory reason that a non-profit organization would increase costs towards the very people it is intended to serve. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that these comments will even be considered and at worse they will simply be called 'spam'. So we must hope that eventually investigations into this and the related .ORG scandal will bring the individuals responsible for this greed and misconduct to the eye of the law and the public. Not only is this comment against the proposed price increases, it is also against ICANN control of the DNS root zone and any other aspects of the internet at large. Thank you.
