We are a very small operation and the price increase you are considering would be devastating to us. Please reconsider this move on the basis of the terrible impact it will have on users. Thank You Mike Marcotte 800 Loma Vista Dr NE, Albuquerque, NM 87106

Please do not implement changes that will price individuals and small businesses out of .coms. This will hurt my own business and others like me. Keep the internet egalitarian and accessible, not beholden to the highest bidder. Sent from my iPhone

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com Registration Price Increases
by Kevin Bender Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I’d like to express my concern and disapproval regarding the potential for .com domain names to increase in terms of registration cost. While I can understand the desire to increase the cost for registering .com domains, .com domains undoubtedly provide more potential visibility for smaller entities. If you want to encourage people to use other top-level domains, then you should do so by ensuring that the prices for those other top-level domains DECREASE to the point that .com domains are less attractive from a cost perspective. You SHOULD NOT increase the cost of .com domains to make them less accessible to smaller entities, however, as that only encourages abuse by larger entities with more resources by forcing smaller entities to compromise on visibility. I would, however, be in favor of .com price increases on the basis of how many .com domains a single entity owns to discourage domain squatters/scalpers from sitting on a bunch of domains for financial gain. Furthermore, I’d be in favor of .com price increases on the basis of total revenue so larger entities pay more for .com domain registrations while allowing smaller-scale companies and individuals to continue having access to the .com top-level domain.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Carlos Escobar Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I disagree with his decision to increase the value of .COM domains. This would negatively affect people who, like me, are from developing countries, where our economies are small and that access to a domain name could become extremely expensive, condemning many to lose the domains they already acquired. Personally as an entrepreneur this would be a blow to my business, so I ask you to give up that decision.

Domain names should be managed by 100 percent non profit organizations. Using your monopoly to jack the prices should be outlawed.

Bad idea to change .COM contract and will only result in more profit with no benefit for consumers.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Not okay with the recent price increase deal made in secret
by Lisa Barrett Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Dear Sirs/Madams, I am writing to formally complain about the significant changes recently made in the contract with Verisign. These changes were made in secret, without consulting or incorporating feedback from the ICANN community or Internet users. Although ICANN has a history of making similar deals behind closed doors, and also of ignoring unified opposition against such action, this is not okay. I am writing to publicly denounce the price increases that will harm internet users and are anti-democratic. Cancel this decision immediately. Thank you, Lisa Barrett INSEAD MBA
