[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com amendment 3 comment
by Jonathan Randles Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

To whom it may concern, I would like to express protest at the proposed amendment 3 to the .com registry agreement. I have learned that these changes have occurred without consultation or feedback from the ICANN community and internet users. It is my concern that the proposed amendments are directly harmful to individuals and small businesses who rely on an accessible and affordable .com registry agreement. As an operator of numerous small, non-profit websites focused on hobby and social communities, this change, and the resulting increase in registration fees by up to 70% over the next ten years, will undoubtedly impact my ability to provide these services and websites to the internet community -- this makes small .com websites considerably more inaccessible to non-business users, who gain nothing from the proposal! Best regards, Jonathan Randles

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Objection against new .COM price hike
by Harindu Dharmarathne Feb. 12, 2020

As a personal owner of a dot Com domain I'd like to voice my opposition to the considered price rise. Technology is getting cheaper and we should not have to pay more because it is managed by a monopoly.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Changes to .COM
by Jonathan Ellis Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Dear Sir/ Madam, I am very concerned as a private owner of a .com website about the proposed changes to the .com agreement. I may only be one person but I cannot see any justification to these changes which will lead to price increases for self-employed people like myself. Surely we should be making the Internet more accessible and not putting up barriers to entry. My website details are below. Thanks for considering my concerns, Jonathan Ellis Jonathan Ellis Campaigner | Teacher | Catalyst Jonathan Ellis Campaigns <http://jonathanelliscampaigns.com/>http://jonathanelliscampaigns.com/ <http://jonathanelliscampaigns.com/>

I do not understand why these price increases are happening. It stops innovation and beginners from learning how to make websites.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Regarding .com domain price increase
by Abhishek Jariwala Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Hello, This is in regards to the proposed amendments by Verisign for increasing prices of .com domains. We know that a business needs to increase its prices to remain sustainable in the market. However, it is also seen that the prices of .com domains are already quite high and increasing prices even further will put a burden on small business owners who want to get online with a website but can’t as the expenses will be increased quite a lot. Particularly in the third-world countries, we know that people are coming online for selling and making money but the increased costs of buying a domain and other expenses will discourage them from doing so and will have a negative effect on the internet population in general.

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

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. 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. Sean Bennett Bedford, England United Kingdom Sent from my iPhone

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Increase in fee charge for internet domain
by info＠aviationrange.com Feb. 12, 2020

This proposal will not only force some small scale enterprise off the internet community, especially those of us from developing nations, it will view as being discriminatory. Every proposed increase has to be with inputs from all stakeholders including users from developing nations Which due to their situation - both political and economic should be given a special consideration- a waiver Rgds -- Sent from Outlook Email App for Android

I am a registrant of a .com domain name. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. There is no need to increase the price for technical or administrative issues Dirk Wissmann Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia Germany
