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

Feb. 12, 2020

I am associated with the secondary market in domain names. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. Please don`t rise prices for the domains, it will kill our SEO business. Dmytro Lugansk

Please consult the affected communities - other website name sellers and holders of. Com domains - before you push through with this decision.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Don't Raise Price of .com Domains!
by Nicholas Weber Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Hello, Wanted to send a quick note letting you know that I think that raising prices on .com domains is not a good idea. I'm a web developer. I'm glad to see the creativity and interest that having the current price structure for domains have brought to the web. Please don't change that. Thanks, Nicholas Weber

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. Daniel James Melbourne, Victoria Australia

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] this is a Bad deal for consumers
by B Alvarez Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

This deal is bad for consumers and bad for the internet. This will make .com domains less accessible to those who would buy them. This affects the whole internet and deals should not be made without real discussion.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com price increases
by Brandon A. English Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

I'm writing this to express my dissatisfaction at the news involving ICANN's decision to not only drastically increase the prices for .com registrations, but also for the obviously greedy deals being struck for millions of dollars without any accountability whatsoever. It's already ridiculous enough that that the price is where it's at, just to register ownership of a simple website address. The fact that other domain extensions are almost astronomical in price is even crazier. However, increasing .com registrations, which make up nearly half of all domains, is nothing short of greed as it is both unnecessary and useless for everyone -- except the greedy pockets of those who don't have to do anything apart from collect the overpriced fees. If you keep pushing people then they will demand more intervention, which would bring about more legislative or even legal actions. Is this what you're trying to accomplish? Get off the side of greed for once and be an organization for the people. Self-serving, greedy systems like this are outdated and need to expire. Thanks for your time. -Brandon

Greetings, As a domain holder for close to 20 years, I’m quite familiar with existing pricing structures. While some funding increase for emerging security issues is understandable, will there be a transparent process and explanation for raising rates when that juncture comes?
