I am a registrant of a .com domain name. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. The current rate of $7.85 is already overpriced. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest and not the corporate one. As such, the price should be gradually decreasing, rather than increasing. Furthermore, there should be a healthy competition to Verisign's monopoly on .COM registry management. Sincerely, Peter
