I am a registrant of a .com domain name. Multiple domains, in fact. Increasing prices hurt my ability to maintain an online presence. This is not in my (or anyone else's) best interest. Therefore, I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains.

From everything I read, 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. Kindly act accordingly. Thomas Forrester Middleton, Wisconsin USA
