I am a registrant of several .com domain names. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices. If Verisign won't cooperate, please find another .COM registry manager who will cooperate. 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. This proposed price increase is not in the public interest. Alec Destry Landers, California 92285 United States
