Hi, I am a domainer and strongly against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices, and they have continually maipulated this process for their own benefit. Verisign is merely your manager of the .COM Registry – it has no business dictating the price. I believe the current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. Jeffrey Paolini York, Maine
