Hi, I am a registrant of many .com domain names. 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. If anything, technology costs are decreasing. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. Regards, M.
