[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Shameful opacity from one of the internets most important institutions
by Marten Veldthuis Feb. 14, 2020

Feb. 14, 2020

Hello, I’m here to voice my strong concerns with regards to Amendment 3. If we are to believe that allowing Verisign to raise the prices potentially substantially, in return for a lump-sum payment to ICANN, then we should at least see full transparency into why those funds are needed, why there was no alternative, and of course full transparency into ICANNs spending past, present and future. For these reasons, I strongly oppose the amendment in the current form and the context within which it stands. Best regards, Marten Veldthuis

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3
by Brecht Machiels Feb. 14, 2020

Feb. 14, 2020

Hello, I would like to voice my opposition to Proposed Amendment 3. I believe that the global DNS registration system should be run primarily as a public concern. The only entities that stand to benefit from the proposed arrangement are Verisign itself, at the expense of the public. These price hikes will impact the millions of small, independent businesses and developers that rely on the system as is to make their livelihood. Further, this could prove yet another point of pressure that convinces a small business to make their online presence exclusively in the Facebook walled garden and eschew the web itself. The web, and global DNS, were envisioned to be run for the public good, and they SHOULD be run for the public good. Deals such as this are an abdication of that mandate; short sighted profit chasing at the expense of all else. Please do not adopt this proposal. Best regards, Brecht Machiels

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by petrov.sviatoslav Feb. 14, 2020

I am a registrant of a .com domain name. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains.The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified.I keep my domain name(I find name for my brand), but I still not create webpages. So price for domain is normal for me. I am not used domain for business.Святославг. КиевОтправлено со смартфона Samsung Galaxy.

ICANN Team: I am a registrant of a .com domain name. I am against the proposed price increase to .com domains. There is no a real reason to it. I am also against that Verisign can operate as a domain registrar, because there's no enough guaranties that they are not going no sell or resell .COM domain, witch can lead to a oligopoly. I hope you don't ignore the comments against the proposal this time as you did with the cap removal. Nicolás Guerra, Santiago de Chile.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Price Increase
by Roderick Abela Feb. 14, 2020

Feb. 14, 2020

Hello, I am the owner of hundreds of domains. I heard about the proposed plan for a hefty annual increase in domain renewal fees in the next 4 consecutive years. I wanted to voice my concern to ICANN that this would impact domainers with many domains like me significantly and would certainly discourage me from retaining a large portfolio as I have done to date. If I had owned a few domains the impact would not be significant but owning over 300 domains makes a big impact on me. I really hope that you will re-consider such a decision. Many thanks for your kind attention. Best regards, Roderick Abela Malta

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Trading with freedom
by Eloi Marín Gratacós Feb. 14, 2020

By increasing .COM domain prices at a rate of almost 7% per year, you are trading with people's freedom to have a presence on the internet, effectively preventing the use of internet for anything that doesn't report any money back. Please, do not trade with freedom. Thank you, Eloi Marín

Being that .com domain names are used globally and not just by the First World countries. It makes sense that prices should be kept reasonably low so 3rd world business just starting out can have their businesses online without having to 'cut their throats'.
