[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com domain pricing
by Steven Chanin Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

ICANN has a monopoly on .com domains and they are administered by Verisign with no competition. Allowing Verisign to raise prices is only going to have only one outcome — prices will increase at the maximum rate allowed by the agreement. That’s going to make Verisign a ton of money in exchange for a paltry $20 million that will go to benefit the community at large. Either create some competition by allowing a bunch (e.g. 5-10) of players to compete with Verisign for the administration business on an on-going basis (e.g. GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc have a choice between Verisign, Player B, Player C, etc so they can’t just jack up prices), or setup a system where prices stay flat year over year (so Verisign has an incentive to increase efficiency). Don’t give Verisign a blank check to raise .com registration prices by 70% over the next decade. Thanks, Steve _____________________ Steven Chanin steven_chanin(a)alum.mit.edu (415) 377-7503

This is very bad because it will increase prices as much as 70%. Do NOT approve. Sincerely, Mary Beth Gradziel

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Absurd new .com price
by Roberto Enrique Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I disagree with the attempt to raise the .com prices. Is not fair for the final users, also the price increment is completely absurd.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please think about what you're doing
by Brian Elliot Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I am a young musician with a recent .com website. I am only making enough money to pay so many expenses. Musicians and other artists don't make a lot of money most of the time. Did you know that musicians are paid the same for live performances that they were paid in the 1980s sometimes less. But without a .com site nobody will find me as the other endings are not memorable or respected in the same way. The internet should be a place where people can share there work, ideas, and products without heavy taxation. Everything else will go up if you raise .com prices. And I mean everything Don't turn the internet into that kind of place please. Peace and Love. -Brian -- Brian Elliot, Musician & Entertainment Planner Brian Elliot Music LLC (267) 566-4234

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Transparency is the backbone of the future
by Eric K Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To all who are concerned: We live in a world where transparency, equality and integrity can finally be upheld to a basic, universal standard. In business, we can lie, cheat and beguile our customers now to our own demise. The Internet itself has provided its own natural judicial system where the public has a voice through comments and open forum discussions, this being a prime example. ICANN and its constituents, while uniquely positioned and tied into the world of online access, are not above any laws that apply to each of us. We must abide by these laws fairly, justly and universally. ICANN is no exception and I on behalf of myself, my own business and the many businesses I proudly call clients, stand against the secrecy and price gouging in which ICANN loosely engages. Let us all hold each other accountable to the standards we all accept. Yours through the Web, Eric
