This is absolutely unjustified. A .com name is inanimate and holds no service requirement other than records keeping. There is nothing here but a desire to increase costs to owners with no value add. I vote no and expect anyone representing the .com owners to vote no to this idea as well. I am a registrant of a .com domain name. 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 your 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.
