As the registrant of numerous .com domain names, I object to any price increase. The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified and no one other than Verisign wants an increase in .COM prices. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. As a member of the public, I say, do your job. Thanks.
