[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement - Against the price increase
by Ros Williams Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

I am a registrant of a .com domain name for my business, and I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. Having a web presence is essential for many small businesses, and reducing barriers to entry by keeping costs low helps small businesses compete in a landscape that is becoming increasingly costly. I urge you not to move forward with this substantial price increase. Rosalyn Williams Asage Marketing Ellicott City, MD United States

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Request to reconsider the price increase
by Subhasis Banerjee Feb. 12, 2020

To whom it may concern, I am very surprised to know that a private entity has monopoly over .com pricing. I am also very surprised to hear the reasoning provided: “in line with policy priorities of the Trump Administration.”. I am assuming this is a poorly phrased or misquoted statement, because the department should prioritise public/national interest above all else. Of course, the final domain pricing is not currently regulated. This is not ideal, but it was not a big deal until now. This is about to change. The department needs to have a plan to mitigate the final pricing of domains so that this proposed price hike does not affect the public and small business owners. Otherwise, I am afraid this will hurt small businesses. Many small businesses might have no choice but to resort to foreign alternatives. They will have to migrate to new domains, a process that will almost certainly confuse and mislead customers as well. I hope the department has done the necessary auditing and will take immediate steps to regulate the final pricing. I chose .com as my domain because I trusted the US system. I hope I did not misplace my trust. Yours faithfully, S. Banerjee

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. Hemant Maurya Ahmedabad, Gujarat India

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Objection to raising .com prices.
by Andrew Brett Watson Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

I object to the idea that .com prices woudl be raise as I do not think the cost is warranted and it makes it harder for those who have less to start their own website. The disadvantage that those who are poorer have bin a digital world is referred to as the digital divide. I believe this will adversely affect a many people even though the revenues for domain registration as part of an efficient process should be more than sufficient. I believe raising the prices will be also damaging to icann’s reputation. Regards Andrew Watson

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. ge li Fuzhou, Fujian China

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Stop .COM Price Increases - It'll Ruin The Internet
by Bryan Grey Feb. 12, 2020

Hi, Bryan here. I ask that ICANN reconsiders it stand to hike .COM price over a period of years. This decision is not favorable for small businesses worldwide that make a living from their websites. I and other .COM domain name owners are vehemently against this price increase. Please reconsider your decision. Warm regards, Bryan Grey
