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

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. Price increases make it hard for people manage expenses when you own more than one domain. Was 2 dollars now 20+.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comment on proposed amendment 3 to .com registry agreement

Estimates say that the cost to manage the .com domain registry does not exceed $3.50 per domain, per year, and the number might really be significantly lower. Furthermore, other qualified registrars/managers have proven the ability to operate other domain registries for less than $1.00 per year. Based on this information, there does not seem to be any legitimate reason to raise .com domain rates to the proposed levels when the price is already $7.85 per domain. If Verasign and ICANN can articulate a valid and evidence-based reason for needing to raise the price of each .com domain, then I could understand the request. HOWEVER, I read the proposed amendment and the only reasons listed for raising the rates are (1) imposition of any new Consensus Policy, or (2) documented extraordinary expense resulting from an attack or threat of attack on the security/stability of DNS. I have not seen any explanation of what these would cost and how that would compare to the proposed annual increase. However, based on Verasign's estimate of 144 million .com domain names currently registered, we know factually that just in the first 7% annual increase, Verasign would earn an additional $79.2 million. If an increase in price is inevitable, I ask that ICANN consider a much lower increase, such as 10 cents ($0.10) per year over the next four years. Thank you. Patrick Sullivan

Dear ICANN, I am a domain registrant. Please stop the corruption. Stop the Verisign Monopoly. Stop hurting domain registrants. Put the .COM REGISTRY for open competitive bidding so that domain registration prices can actually drop to $2 per domain. Do NOT allow Verisign to raise the prices. Prices must go lower. If you continue your corruption and keep letting Verisign raise the prices then we will go sit on hunger strike in front of Whitehouse, Congress and Supreme Court Of The United States of America. 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. We are determined to stop the monopoly and corruption. We will not be scared anymore. Get ready for lawsuits. Enough is enough. Ram Kumar Macomb, Michigan United States
