Hi, Please reconsider the increase in .COM charges. Some of us .COM domain name owners are only starting and we don't have funds for such a high increase in .COM. Please reconsider. Thank you.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 comment

.com's are fun for little guys and provide an opportunity for people that can not pay to play to actualize dreams of expressing ideas and thoughts to more people than can do from just their physical circle. A .com is legacy and the words expressed can go on beyond the life of the one who wrote them better than any other platform. In addition to the basic ability to broadcast words onto the interwebs, a .com is a way anyone can become an entrepreneur that has access to the internet. I would be sad to have the prices of .com's increase and remove one of the few places remaining that anyone can own an effective asset inexpensively. Josh Lenz

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Complain on the cost increase of .com domains
by Olivia Perryman Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Not all .com domains are registered by businesses, and increasing the costs for everyone is unfair to people using domains for non-commercial reasons. The web was not created to be owned and sold, it was created for sharing information. Increasing costs such a substantial amount is unfair and will lead to only large corporations having .com Forcing others to change their domain undermines any work they have put into it. Stop hurting the little guys just to make more money.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Opposition to proposed increase in .COM fees
by Sanjay Shah Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Hello, I am opposed to the changes to raise .COM fees which are being pursued without consulting or incorporating feedback from the ICANN community or Internet users. We do not know what is driving this and who is to benefit from the funds. Please restrict changes to increase fees, that will unnecessarily impact so many people. Thank you. Sanjay Shah

To whom it may concern, including ICANN.org, As a small business owner, my website is an important resource for current and future customers, but in order to remain profitable, the current fees for registered domains need to remain the same. Also, it is not a good or viable business practice to make deals behind closed doors that negatively affect millions of people, but help make you more money. These business practices can be considered as unethical and should not be enacted. Sincerely, Andrew

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .Against COM Price Increase
by junkFREE2012 Feb. 10, 2020

I am a registrant of a .com domain name. I am totally against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. 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. Prices are already too expensive. Linda

This is another corporate hijack of public domain property. I find this action unacceptable and will cease registration with ICANN Good luck.

As a small business owner who's main source of marketing and business is through my website this decision which could lead to serious price increases greatly affects my business and I am against it. Please consider all the small businesses who would no longer be able to afford a .com web address and how it would affect current SEO rankings and our consumers ability to find us on the web. Please do not make this decision which would allow our prices to be increased. Sincerely, Christy & Dan Malene
