[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Rick Gooden 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. Rick Gooden MARLESTON

24 years ago in 1996 before ICANN and when a clear monopoly was forming, we needed iCANN. ICANN is now a loose cannon and the biggest risk to the digital asset class know as URL's. How many no bid contracts when pricing should be going down and security up. Open up the contract and see what happens? Why not, are the people making the money to scared or just in to much control they dont care? Its sad ICANN is supporting such price increases when they know opening it up will lower the prices and do it better. Oh ya, profits to Verisign and the big old white guys guys running the Gov back door contracts sponsoring Verisign. I am a registrant of a .com domain name since 1996, strongly against the proposed price increase to .COM domains, (Dont claim national security for increase as that is BS). Verisign has one of the highest margin business, why is iCANN supporting even more? Oh ya, we forgot ICANN is for the corporate company who funds them not the community as originally planned. Its just not right, then open the contract for bidding or give some of it back to the source that is providing it like Training, etc. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest, not Verisign bottom line or claim national security. Do what is right and hold Verisign Accountable to keeping margins still over 60% and still over a billion in pure profit.. Break it please as its the biggest risk to our centralized system of power and ICANN has not proven itself with whoever has the biggest checkbook. chad folk Austin, Texas, Florida United States

ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. There is no justification for a price increase. No one receives any benefit or additional features from the price increase. Any increase would be solely for the benefit of Verisign not the public interest. Jason Massachusetts United States This information may be confidential and/or privileged.

I am a registrant of hundreds of .com domain names. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. We are a non-profit, and also hold names for hundreds of non-profit organizations. This price hike will significantly negatively impact us and our clients. Moshe Rosenberg Brooklyn, NY
