Hello, I don't think that you should allow Verisign to increase the wholesale price to registrars. Bad and greedy idea. Thank you, Oleg

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] The public comment period
by Sabrina Morellato Feb. 10, 2020

Dear ICANN, last month, you announced significant changes to the contract you have with Verisign, Inc. who operate the .COM top-level-domain (TLD). These changes will have significant impact on the Internet for years to come, and only ICANN and Verisign have participated in this decision. I want to make sure my voice is heard and let you know that I disagree on your decision to increase the prices of the domains, without considering all the involved parts. Thank you for you attention, Sabrina

Being 100% sure that no corporation will object to the 28% cost increase every six years as they earn money off their domain name and paying almost any amount would be acceptible to them. However, there are a great amount of small and startup businesses that would see this as a burden as well as individual users out there that have purchased their own domain name and are using it for personal use, not commercial use. Several of us have multiple domain names, if for no other reason than to protect our own names from being used to run a website. So I would consider it a greater gift during this Valentine period if you don't ammend the .com registry agreement.

This deal is one sided and is meant to force .com tld’s out of the hands of small business owners. If you continue with this proposal, it will force smaller businesses to utilize other TLDs and limit the use of .coms to bigger and much more financially equipped businesses. -- Aaron Owens Brand Manager | *ArkBM <https://www.arkbm.com>* (561) 293-5575 <15612935575>

I object to this proposal as the deal was done without opening an RFQ process.

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

Feb. 10, 2020

Hi, I am writing to voice my opposition to Proposed Amendment 3. Despite there clearly being potential financial gains to be had by raising the registration fee on .com domains, the global DNS registration system should be run primarily as a public concern. The only entities that stand to benefit from the proposed arrangement are verisign itself, at the expense of the public. While price hikes such as this likely won't mean much to the larger business concerns that buy in bulk, it will impact the millions of small, independent businesses and developers that rely on the system as is to make their livelihood. At worst, this could prove yet another point of pressure that convinces a small business to make their online presence exclusively in the Facebook walled garden and eschew the web itself. The web, and global DNS, were envisioned to be run for the public good, and they SHOULD be run for the public good. Deals such as this are an abdication of that mandate; short sighted profit chasing at the expense of all else. Please do not adopt this proposal. Thanks, Andy Amaya Moreno Valley, CA

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Disagree with changes to .com fees policy
by Shubha Wambach Feb. 10, 2020

It has come to my attention that ICANN has made secret decisions last month regarding the contract with Verisign, Inc., which will significantly affect internet users and the ICANN community. I strongly object to these changes, especially how it will affect costs and increases to .com domains in the foreseeable future. I urge you to allow feedback from the community before such an agreement and significant changes are finalized, otherwise this will eventually impact the future of ICANN.
