[AJ Daley]

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. It stands to benefit no one or no entity except verisign. Additional services will not be provided. The cost of administration of domains is not rising with the very low cost of automation.



The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified particularly on renewal which has very little if any human interaction or resources used aside from maintaining software systems.



Verisign is merely your manager of the .COM Registry – it has no business influencing prices directly.



ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest and I believe this to be a good example failing at that charter.
