[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by E Hiteshew Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To Whom it concerns: 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. 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. Profits of one company should never be put before the public interest, Thank you for your consideration. Eleanor Hiteshew Weeki Wachee, Florida United States

ICANN, I don’t have time to compose a thoughtful, formal letter about your ill-advised plan to increase registration rates for domain names but as a web developer I’ve worked with hundreds of individuals and small business and I’m going to ask you to not raise the barrier of entry for owning a web domain. Leave the base prices where they are. Thanks, -- Aaron R. Deutsch Haus Interactive 143 E Ridgewood Avenue PO Box 5 Ridgewood, NJ 07451 347-560-4429 www.hausinteractive.com

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comments about proposed change
by Damian Gil Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I have read the proposed change and there is no public reason for anyone outside of Verisign to condone this deal. Prices overall should go down, not up. That's what happens in an economy with competition in it. Monopolies, yes, they rise their prices whenever they want. Raising the .COM TLD prices just opens the door to rise prices on every other TLD. That's not fair to the consumer. What does this do to the industry overall where resellers already charge a pretty hefty markup on parked domains. IF the deal was targeted to those entities who don't use the domain but only have it parked waiting for a buyer, I can see a reason since it would probably democratize the market a little more. But to do it blindly to all it's just a kick in the back for the consumers and just an artificial excuse to rise prices overall just because. I urge you to don't do this. Thank you. Sincerely,Damián Gil

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Not in Favor
by Matthew Lauber Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I am not in favor of this proposal. It is my view that lacking significant competition in terms of running this database, and with web customers unable to simply migrate their sites, the price controls ICANN currently places on TLD registrars are an important and necessary part of the system. Furthermore, the rate increases are dramatically out of proportion to expected inflation, leading to higher costs for consumers, and unearned profits for Verisign. Matthew Lauber
