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

Dear ICA, 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. 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. Many Registrants and Users will simply dump .COM for other TLDs if this increase scales through. Please dont proceed with it. Onochie Amasiani Abuja, Nigeria

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comment on contract changes
by Mads Møller Madsen Feb. 14, 2020

These contract changes are scandalous! It seems like desperate measures to make such extreme contract changes with significant markups in pricing without any consultation of stakeholders. The internet is for everyone. This is such a step backwards! I hope you will regret this decision and all the turbulence it is going to cause for you.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] In opposition to .COM price hikes
by Nate Lane Feb. 14, 2020

Feb. 14, 2020

The internet is, in many regards, one of humanity's most important inventions. A great part of its success is due to its open and egalitarian nature. It is a network built on a shared, interoperable surface of norms and standards, allowing the smallest of websites and digital communities to flourish alongside the largest of platforms. The proposed price hikes serve only to diminish that common surface in favor of lining the pockets of a privileged few. The rate of increase goes beyond monetary inflation, leading to real cost increases for domain holders that more than reflect rises in service costs for issuing and maintenance of domains. This raises the effective barrier for sustainability for many who simply do not have the resources to acquire or hold domains if prices increase. In addition, the apparent lack of oversight or transparency into how ICANN will utilize the increased revenue from Verisign-- which effectively amounts to an internet-wide "domain tax"-- is a major cause for concern. I urge ICANN to reconsider their unjust and inequitable proposal. N. L.

Hi, The price freeze should be maintained. The TLD is widely used by many people and a price increase will disrupt this. Regards, Jonathan
