I am a registrant of a .com domain name. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. 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. The benefit of a price increase will go solely to the registry manager and is unlikely to trickle down to domain name users. At a time when economies of scale have lowered the price for nearly everything required to manage the registry, an increase is no more than a grab for more profit.
