I am a registrant of many .com domain names. I am against the proposed price increase to ".COM" domains. No one other than Verisign wants increases in ".COM" prices. The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified, as it is an automated process that should happen in milliseconds. Verisign is merely your manager of the ".COM" Registry - it has no business dictating the price like a monopoly. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest.
