I am a registrant of a .com domain name. 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. ICANNN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. Holding a large portfolio, 30% increase will be a huge hit to the budget and I've to consider dropping renewal for 50% of the domain names to keep up with price increases, Thanks, Mohamed Rafiq, Sammamish, WA
