[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Don’t hurt small businesses
by Danielle Hines Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Please don’t make these changes. I’m a small business owner and every penny counts. You will put out of business those who are your customer base. If pricing increases too much you will force other avenues for small businesses, which may destroy your business model. I own 4 small businesses and help other businesses get established. I can personally attest to these fees and I will be among those that suggest getting a .com in the future might not be worth the cost. Please reconsider! Danielle D.Hines 301-728-6833

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] I am OPPOSED to Amendment 3
by Daniel Foster Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I have registered several .com domains. I am writing to register my opposition to the proposed price increase to these domains. The current rates are fair and just, and should not be altered. In addition, Verisign should be be allowed to dictate pricing. I call on you to defend the domain name system for the good of the public. ____________________________________ Daniel A. Z. Foster

So many domains are owned and purchased by entrepreneurs. Please don’t penalize us. Sent from my iPhone

I strongly oppose the agreement. Not only was it made in secret, but it would drastically impact many individuals who did not have a say in this. Please reconsider the proposal for something more fair and just.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] No Price Increases
by Daniel Korte Feb. 10, 2020

The .COM top-level-domain should be easily accessible to everyone both financially and technically. A price increase is a step in the wrong direction. Please let the internet be the internet without greedy new amendments like this.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com fee increase
by dan Feb. 10, 2020

Hello, I do not support ICANN's rate increase for .com domains. Please stop this process until a clear public explanation of your reasons for the rate increase and a full public consultation is put forward. Thank you, Dan McDonald

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

Feb. 10, 2020

To Whom It May Concern, The decision to raise .COM prices without a clear reason for why and without public vote is not only predatory but unethical. The internet should remain a place of open knowledge exchange without biased interests in control. For the sake of our future, please reconsider your decisions that adversely affect the market and therefore all individuals who work hard to make the internet a place of attaining helpful information. Best, Kaila

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] This is ridiculous
by Michael Colgan Feb. 10, 2020

How is it that only ICANN and VeriSign have discussed this and yet the people who are paying for these domain names are going to pay for it? Is this a joke?

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Reverse Secret Backroom Deal with Verisign!
by Soulscape Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I am opposed to the secret backroom deal that Icann made with Verisign allowing virtually endless high increases to .com prices. You made this backroom deal without consulting or incorporating feedback from the ICANN community or Internet users, needlessly jacking up costs for individuals and small businesses everywhere. That is completely wrong, and you need to reverse this decision now.
