Dear ICANN, As a domain investor and developer, I'm associated with the secondary market in domain names, and I'd like to state that I stand against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. The fact is, that no one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices; the current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. Please remember that Verisign is merely your manager of the .COM Registry – it has no business dictating the price. On the contrary, ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. How does such a generous granting to a price increase by Verisign support your role of safeguarding the public's interest on domain names? Respectfully, Theo Develegas Orlando, Florida
