To: ICANN, I am a registrant of multiple .com domain names that I use for my business. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. They will not be providing additional services or benefits for the additional cost, and their profits are high -- not necessitating any price increase. No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices. Verisign is merely your manager of the .COM Registry – it has no business dictating the price. Put out the .com for bid with requirements, and see what comes back. No other entity would ever consider a sweetheart deal where there's no competition and the operator is allowed to increase prices year after year. That's a situation that leads to corruption. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. Do your job! Sincerely, Michael Cyger Bainbridge Island
