Hello, This was recently brought to my attention. I do NOT agree with the proposed hike. I am a registrant of a few .com domain names. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. I believe that 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. Shon McCray El Sobrante, California United States
