[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Ken Sorrie Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

I am a registrant of a number of .com domain names. Verisign has a monopoly. Costs for running a registry through advancing technology and volume are decreasing, yet ICANN is allowing Verisign to increase prices without putting the contract for running the .com registry out to competitive tender. This is a monopoly. This strategy is designed to limit the degree of competition inside a market and reinforce the monopoly power of established business to command excess profits. I am opposed to this contract change and price increases.

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. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. [wzy] [China]

I am opposed to the initiative under consideration to increase .COM prices in the coming years. 1. Please stop the current agreement with Verisign. 2. Please consult with the ICANN community before going ahead with a plan. Sincerely, Rob Hindman

I am a registrant of a .com domain name. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. Andre Orange, California United States

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Price increase for .com domains.

Hello, It has come to my attention at there is a proposal for increasing the prices for registering and renewing the .com domains. I am writing to you to express my dissatisfaction and opposition to this increase. I am proponent of making things easier and affordable to increase traction and increase profitability. Not to gouge prices and make life and affordability difficult, especially to the new personals trying to enter the WWW domain.

I am a domainer (I invest in domain names as a business). 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. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. Yunhai Jiang Qiqihaer, Heilongjiang China

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Public Comment Amendment 3

Dear iCann, I am a small business owner who relies on my *.com domains for promotion and to get work. My domains are valuable to me, and I do not want to pay more money just because they're a *.com. There has to be more transparency and clarity over why such a change is needed, where the funds are going, and how this will benefit *.com owners and users both now and in the future. For this reason, I reject Amendment 3 and ask you to reconsider this initiative. Best, Monica Valentinelli
