I am a registrant of a .com domain name and 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. Verisign is merely the manager of the .COM Registry; it has no business dictating the price. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. Thank you, A Thompson Providence, Rhode Island
