[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Opposed Amendment
by Jon Eidson Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Where is the openness and free enterprise? This behind closed doors agreement between ICANN and VERISIGN was all done secretively. It should be totally canceled and bids sent out to manage the .COM registrations. Jon

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Opposed to Amendment 3
by Gavriel Strauss Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Dear ICANN, As an owner of several .com domains, I am vehemently opposed to Amendment 3 and the increase of .com domain prices. I will get rid of all of mine and switch to another domain, and will actively boycott .coms if this happens.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] I oppose your .com price increase plan
by Kyle Simpson Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I own over 125 domains (most of them .com's), and I oppose your plan to allow such broad reaching and largely unrestricted price increases. There is no way that the cost of running scalable registries is increasing at such a pace -- in fact, it's certainly past the scaling phase and stabilizing as web infrastructure services have become a commodity. Allowing these price increases serves only corporate greed and not the public good. It will harm the availability of registering domains in low-income areas of the world, effectively contributing to drowning out the voices of those who most need a voice through the internet/web. --Kyle Simpson

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

Feb. 10, 2020

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. The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. 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. Eric Daly Wayland, MI United States

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Shady dealings
by Miller, Richard Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Please explain why your making deals with Verisign in secret behind closed doors without consulting your community or internet users as a whole. These decisions raise prices which are harmful to customers and the internet as a whole. You continue to raise rates to registrars for .COM domains and have for many years in a row. Stop with the GREED. Richard M.

by Antoinette Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Dear sir/madam I am writing to request that the proposed price increase does not go ahead. I am just trying to start my own small business and the proposed increase would harm my enterprise and I think of many other small business owners. I hope you will be able to keep the prices the same Yours sincerely Antoinette F

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comment regarding Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by DJ Grossman Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I was alerted by my registrar that this proposal did not have sufficient oversight and was drafted behind closed doors. This is unacceptable for a change that will have such a tremendous effect on the internet as a whole. The amendment in its current form should be scrapped and the process should begin anew, done properly this time. -- [https://www.clocktowersoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/cts-email-sig…]<https://www.clocktowersoftware.com/> DJ Grossman President Clock Tower Software dj(a)clocktowersoftware.com<mailto:dj@clocktowersoftware.com> +1 (972) 998-6035<tel:+19729986035>
