Please do not raise .com prices. There is no need, and it’s just rent seeking. I am a registrant of a .com domain name, karlnoss.com. 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.
