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. Given that Verisign does not provide any new service. It's a free milk cow for Verisign. Verisign built the software off registration fee so technically ICANN owns the Verisign software to manage domains. 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.
