A 70% increase over the next 10 years would be devastating to the diversity and accessibility of .com domains.

Do not increase the fees. Period. There is no reason for this increase in fees.

Hey guys, I heard of the planned price increase as per this post: https://www.namecheap.com/blog/icann-allows-com-price-increases-gets-more-m… Please don’t do this. This will screw everyone in the world. There is way better way to make money then increasing everyone’s fee. Thank you so much for considering this. -- Alex

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement

I'm a registrant of dozens of domains, most of them are .com. I'm opposed to the proposed price increase for Verisign. Their costs are continually reduced with scale and their profits are generous - to say the least. The public good, which ICANN is chartered to preserve, is not served by increasing the profits of a company that has a monopoly on the most valued domain extension. The moves ICANN has been making lately leaves some serious questions as to who is actually running things. Do your job and serve the public. Ken Rice, United States

The middle class is poorer every year, and purchasing a domain name to enter the internet market place is one of the diminishing resources which allows people the opportunity to dig themselves out of economic woe. Must this opportunity for people to improve their situation be moved further out of reach so that big money can get a little more money? Is it really necessary to use big money to leverage even more wealth for big money at the expense of opportunity for the little guy? How bad do Verisign and ICANN really need this money? Perhaps Verisign and ICANN could just get by with the money they have and decide not to take opportunity from our shrinking middle class.

As a small business owner and someone involved with other small businesses and non-profile organizations, I’m concerned about the proposed changes to the pricing for .com domains. By allowing a 7% increase, annually, for those domains, the wholesale prices for .com domains will rapidly increase. That rate is far above price indexes for goods and services. While I recognize there are some caps for increases up to 2026, this opens the door for those prices to continue to increase after that date. I also recognize that the infrastructure needed to manage domains and registrations is not free, but given the goals of the internet to provide an open platform for all, allowing for unreasonably high registrations prices, even for companies, moves away from the internet being a level playing field. We are already seeing this with domain name parking where people buy domains and then extort large sums for them. Regards, Matt Milner Minneapolis, MN

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] I am against the proposed price increase to .com domains
by Tori Levine Feb. 11, 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. Tori
