I see no need to increase the current price nor do I see a need to register any domain name year after year. It should be a simple as filing the title to a land or home purchase. You file once and then never need to amend or change the deed unless there is a change in ownership. The fees for having to reregister the domain annually are an unnecessary burden and an increase in pricing will only increase the burden on small business owners like myself who have about 10 domain names registered for the numerous businesses I own.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Don’t approve .com price increases
by Geoffrey Lowney Feb. 8, 2020

Feb. 8, 2020

I am a registrant of multiple .com domain names used for my personal activities, email, sharing, etc. I am against the proposed price increases to .COM domains. Verisign just want increases in .COM prices to go back milking registrants as they did in the early days of the internet. It is very difficult to transition from one domain name to another, including from one TLD to another. This essentially locks registrants into their domain name, and gives Verisign a virtual monopoly. The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified, and higher than the prices for many other TLDs. Verisign is merely your manager of the .COM Registry – it should not be in the business of dictating the price. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. ICANN could choose to increase prices in small amounts to keep up with inflation, but 7% per year, even for only some years, is unconscionable. Thank you Geoffrey Lowney Sent from my iPhone

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] It is my view that there is no purpose to increasing fees for domain names, other than rent-seeking.
by Jesse Feb. 8, 2020

It is my view that there is no purpose to increasing fees for domain names, other than rent-seeking. Operational expenses required for running the domain name system should be progressively minimized until the system is entirely automated, seeking to have only the expenses for energy, equipment, and land. The system should increase in efficiency, rather than decrease. Proposals to allow the domain name system to further slip into feudalism only endangers its future. It then becomes entwined with the economic goals of of not those who support it via name license fees, but instead those who benefit from it in profit, the profiteers being monopolists and interlopers. There is little purpose to having people involved in the running of the system except to support such people economically. The domain name system should not support anyone’s economic livelihood. It should be divorced from the employment economy as possible so that it may stand the harsh test of technological evolution without being endangered doubly by the whims of that chaos called the economy.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please Keep The .com Price Low
by Flights To Bali Feb. 7, 2020

Feb. 7, 2020

Dear Sir/Madam, I believe that internet presence is already all companies, all organization and even all people needs. For now a day, brick shops are shifting to virtual shop, freelance jobs are already a trend, home schooling is already a need for some family. So low cost internet and web presence are already people needs. Some small business are open their online shops with .com, because .com is internationally accepted and trust. Keeping .com low price will help a lot of small business for start their shops in low cost. The other hand there are a lot of people are need income from domains business. Not all these kind of people are rich enough to buy .com with high price. Making .com expensive will make it exclusive for big business. Keeping internet and web presence in low cost will help a lot of people. I am also .com user. I make a lot of bible as non profit activity, self financing Christian Mission. I use .com in bible such as my Prajurit.com. For financing some time I sell the domains of my bibles to financing the Bible Projects and buy a new one. Making .com expensive will restrict me to keep doing this social activity. Online Christian Bibles will help a lot of people to access bible easily, and it will help the world become peaceful in long term. That's is my comment. I hope you can help to make internet cost and web presence cost as low as possible. Thank you. Sincerely yours, Surya Giri
