I am a registrant of a .com domain name. No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains and the current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. Verisign is merely your manager of the .COM Registry and it has no business dictating the price. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. P.
