[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Price increase not warranted.
by Casey Roche Feb. 10, 2020

The supposed added value provided by the ICANN organization does not warrant any price increases. This is especially true because this is a monopolistic situation. Best Regards, ~Eugene Roche

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. 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.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Against: Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement

70% increase to the price over 10 years is outrageous, I don't mind a price increase, but this kind of price gouging is not okay. It is even worse considering that ICANN will only be receiving 20 million USD over 5 years, that is 4 million a year, that's nothing for the amount of money this increase will generate, it will only benefit VeriSign and no one else. 100% against this, please do not move forward with this.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Secretive decisions against users interests are not acceptable
by Denys Fedoryshchenko Feb. 10, 2020

Hello, After reading upcoming changes i consider the behaviour of ICANN, especially as a public non-profit organization - unacceptable. If ICANN acts against the interests of the Internet community such way as it did, i am sure that ICANN reputation will be destroyed forever and the Internet community will begin to create alternatives, which will lead to chaos and fragmentation for a while. I demand an investigation into this apparently wrong decision, including, as reasons - possible corruption among ICANN leadership.

I do NOT support these changes. You NEVER consult the global community. You run the system like a mob. Who are the mob bosses? Who's cashing in on these deals? STOP! We do not want higher prices for .com domains.

Raising .com prices hurts small businesses. Please do not do this, it is rather shitty to do so behind closed doors.

It will affect small business and I will have to bang myself because if I’m poor there’s no reason to live.

I am voicing my disagreement with he proposed amendment that does not clarify how the increased revenue from the hike of domain registration prices would be spent, making it impossible to know how reasonable these changes would be.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Oppose Verisign Changes
by Mary Primeau Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I oppose these changes. These were made in secret without the general public's interest in mind. These changes will lead to price increases that could significantly affect small businesses. I'd also like to know how the $20 million over five years paid to ICANN is going to be spent? Signed, Mary Primeau
