Hi there, I'm extremely disappointed by this decision. Domain names are supposed to be available to anyone that wants to start a website. By allowing freedom to increase the prices as suggested, you will close off access to a huge population. It's a real shame, totally against the purpose of the internet. 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.
