[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Christopher Hartnett Feb. 7, 2020

Feb. 7, 2020

I am a domainer (I invest in domain names as a business) or am associated with the secondary market. 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.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Why would you think this is a good idea?

Good afternoon! This effectively makes small business owners take a large hit in expenses. As a business owner, not only do I have to own a .COM but, like other responsible brand owners, I also have to maintain holdings on most other domain endings (.NET, .ORG, etc.) in order to prevent people from purchasing and misrepresenting my brand. Other domains are already more expensive than .COM. Why would you force this upon people trying to make a living? Cordially, Nicole Vick

Dear Sir/Madam. I am a registrant of a .COM domain. 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.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Verisign price increase
by Alan August Feb. 7, 2020

I oppose the price increase. As the sole manager of the .com TLD, it is Verisign's responsibility to keep prices low. Otherwise, others should be allow to administer the .com domain and compete with Verisign.

Attention ICANN I am president and domain manager for our non-profit 501(C)3 which invests in domain names to fund our charitable activities. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. The percentage of increase is appalling and usury. 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 especially for such a quantum leap in their profits. Most of the .com registration process is entirely automated so Version has little relative costs. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest.
