I am a registrant of a several .com domain names. They make it possible to continue my business and hire employees.

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

Of course, Verisign wants increases in .COM prices. What business doesn't want more fees?! Wanting more money is not a good enough justification.

The current rate of $7.85 is already more than justified.

Verisign is merely your manager of the .COM Registry – it has no business
dictating the prices.

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

Please do that!
