[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Price Increases
by Constantinos Pastou Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Dear ICANN Staff Im very sad to read that the prices of .com domain will increase. Lately everything is increasing dramatically and honestly i don’t know where this situation will go. I can understand some products to increase the prices due to fuel price, electricity or a product that need raw materials to be done. From your part i cannot understand this price changes because you don’t produce domain names so you don’t need any raw materials to make it. So whats the real reason to increase the prices? If someone is reading this will think : but is not me i decide, is ICANN. ICANN is people hiding behind a company name. Everywhere is people behind. That’s why people forget the meaning and the miracle of life. I hope my words to be hear by someone because i did a big effort to write all this. Sorry for my english as is not my mother language. Thank you for you time Constantinos Pastou

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .COM Price changes
by Tom Bolick Feb. 10, 2020

I just want to add my voice to those who do not want to see the continued price increases for .com domains. There is already a change to nearly require certs for all website, even without e-commerce. This already increases the cost of having a web presence. Increasing the cost of the domains is yet another cost that will slow the growth of the web. So please do not approve the price increases.

I strongly oppose such increases! Costs have not gone up relative to your proposed increase. How about a free internet? Keep pushing, the people will push back

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3
by T. Biery Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

ICANN - Your proposed Amendment 3 price increases are a BAD IDEA. Making these decisions without adequate input from those of us who are in the domain/hosting/design business is also a BAD IDEA. Let's try to find a way forward that isn't so focused on price increases - and profits. Timm Biery -- InterWebs Design a Timm Biery Enterprises company T.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Opposition to ICAAN non-consultation process
by Lady Marleau Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I am writing to join the chorus of voices and users who will be greatly impacted by your latest deal with Verisign. I have many concerns, chief among them are the erasure of price caps. Price caps are an essential part of maintaining a livable environment with-in and with-out the internet. The potential increases proposed by your latest, behind-closed-doors negotiations are alarming if they cannot be adequately qualified with transparency and respect for the customers that uphold your business. As a user and consumer, I ask that you also disclose how you plan to utilize the $20 million you’ve garnered in your deal with Verisign. Show us that you respect our loyalty as customers. Sincerely, Marleau Marleau.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com price increases as a result of new Verisign contract
by Adam Johnson Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

ICANN, I oppose any increases to .com pricing for wholesale registries. Please act as a fiduciary <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiduciary> to the people and to the health of the web. Increasing costs alienate populations which rely on the web to connect them to other parts of the world. Sincerely, -- -Adam Johnson

I am a registrant of a .com domain name. I object to the proposal to raise the price of .COM domain names. Your actions can only be defined as greed. How else would you justify keeping those changes on the low from the public and how do you justify increasing the rates now and by a % so big after soo many years. Att. Manuel Moreta

I don't agree with logic behind recent decisions to centralize power in the hands of Verisign. I would like logic to be revisited and decision retracted. Thank you, Mateusz Wieloch
