[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Concerns
by Jim Russell Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

This amendment was just brought to my attention. I believe it is short sighted. One of my concerns is the cost increase upon smaller entities will become unreasonable. My recommendation is to avoid the amendment. Regards, James L Russell Salisburv, North Carolina US Sent from my iPhone

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] I oppose Amendment 3
by Andy Hebrank Feb. 12, 2020

Perhaps if Verisign is unable to operate efficiently enough to fund ICANN adequately, ICANN can bid out .com management in a manner than explicitly funds a $20m initiative? Or simply fund-raise, like other non-profits? Considering there are large internet infrastructures companies (CloudFront is an example) that are able to offer DNS services at-cost, I can see no legitimate justification for a price increase. The $20m kickback, a fraction of what Verisign stands to make, is reprehensible.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .Com price increases
by Pete Degnan Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

I am totally opposed to this as it is purely for pure financial gain and not in any way to support businesses and individuals that depend on websites etc for their daily commerce. I understand profits need to be made for stock holders and development but there is a big difference between making profit and proffiteering. I would be tempted to move away from a .com domain name if it means I am at the mercy of these price increases Peter Degnan peted1(a)me.com <mailto:peted1@me.com> @peterdegnan2 www.peterdegnanphotography.com

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] DO NOT RAISE .COM TLD PRICES
by Abel Thomas Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

To Whom It May Concern: It is simply unacceptable what you are doing with raising domain name prices, behind closed doors, to further fund your corporate partnerships and profit margins. This is a formal request to keep the internet open and accessible to all. Hiking prices for the most widespread TLD in the world, by ~70% over the next decade, makes it inaccessible to so much of our internet population. As a company, you are only as strong as your user base, and therefore have a responsibility towards us. Know that we will fight, and we will find ways around your constraints and blatant abuses of power. You are 1%; we are 99%. ICANN & Verisign will crumble as soon as the populace decides you are no longer worth our time or money. DO WHAT IS RIGHT, or we will make sure you fail. *--* *Abel Thomas*

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comment about new .com domain policy
by Mahdi Mohammadi Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Hello, As holder of multiple .com domains, I am completely against this decision. The price increase does not make any sense. In the world of IT, everyday we see price decrease and more competition for infrastructure and services. Why price of .com domains should be completely opposite? Thanks, Mahdi

ICCAN and VeriSign shouldn't make changes in secrete without stake holder participation or without consultation from other service providers like namecheap and other agencies.These changes are going to affect alot of businesses especially upcoming entrepreneurs who ran small personal businesses online with little capital for as low as $70 per month.ICCAN and VeriSign should have conducted a research from different countries especially Africa where the economy is not fast growing. ICCAN should have used economics of scale of different countries before making changes.Business is not about making huge profits but it's about customer satisfaction and flexibility interms of financial benefits. Should ICCAN and VeriSign go ahead making changes,Thousands of businesses online will lose revenue and the people will lose confidence and trust in ICCAN and VeriSign. Secondly Making such changes will also increase level of unemployment in other countries because lots of young generation from University collevels or even those who never had chance to attend college because of financial challenges are doing small businesses online such as digital marketing and advertising services.Most importantly ICCAN and VeriSign may also lose business because of unfair changes or prices without consultation from expert's

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please Maintain Price Caps on .COM Registrars
by Deniz Ozkaynak Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

The bullshit y'all are trying to pull in conjunction with Verisign, while impressively forthright, is not appreciated by the general public. Please do not alter how current price caps work. Best, Deniz Ozkaynak
