I am a registrant of a .com domain name. I am against the proposed price increase to .com domains. Verisign is merely manager of the .com registry and has no business dictating price. The current rate of $7.85 is far more than justified. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. This proposed price increase is clearly in the best interest of Verisign and it’s shareholders but offers no benefit to the public and may actually restrict representation of the global internet community.
