[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Oppose proposed price increase
by Tanya Holden Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I am writing today to state that I oppose the proposed multi-year price increase for .COM domains. Additionally, I support continued release of information about how funds received from Verisign will be used by ICANN. I also believe that a decision to allow Verisign to operate as a registrar will result in an unfair advantage in the marketplace. Tanya Holden 1321 Upland Dr #11051 Houston, TX 77043 214-448-7734

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

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. Markus Nystrom Wisconsin Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] The wholesale cost of COM domain
by Tony Locke Feb. 11, 2020

As I understand it, ICANN are proposing to increase the wholesale cost of COM domain. I'm writing to register my concern at this, as I would have expected that as technology gets cheaper a resource like this should come down in price over time, not go up. Regards, Tony.

Dear ICANN, Please do not increase the price of .COM domain names. It will make them less accessible for everyone. Thank you, Mike

We strongly oppose this proposed amendment 3 which is an ill conceived amendment that is totally anti existing users of .Com domain and should be scrapped immediately. Wasif Khan

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Awful idea

Realistically the value of a .com domain has DECREASED over the years. There are a ton of new tlds that are just as good. If the price of .com domains increase I would be just fine chosing another tld and supporting decentralized dns options

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .Com Increases
by Reborn Hair PPP Feb. 11, 2020

Hi, I am vehemently disappointed to hear about the potential .com price increase. This is downright unjust, unreasonable, and illogical. It is enough that we as consumers need to worry about the 100 plus expenses that go up every year. The potential price increase for .com domains is no different than a potential taxation on air. That's how stupid this deal is. There is no legitimate or sound reason why we as the consumers should pay for this. If anything, why increase it every year freeze it for two and then restart that vicious cycle over and over and over again? This to me is worse than a Ponzi or pyramid scheme. It is a scheme built on greed. I will not rest my case until this proposed amendment gets washed away in the sewers where it belongs in perpetuity. All my best, Joe

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please don't increase the price of .com domains!

As a hobbyist developer and side hustle entrepreneur, I have loved the freedom of being able to publish sites online and to represent those sites with the nearly universal .com domain. It's as classic as the internet and price increases will make it increasingly challenging to turn startup ideas into the next big thing. I'm also concerned about the lack of transparency into who exactly the price increases stand to benefit and am fearful that these extra fees will wind up in lobbyist pockets. Thanks, Lewis

As the registrant of numerous .com domain names, I object to any price increase. The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified and no one other than Verisign wants an increase in .COM prices. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. As a member of the public, I say, do your job. Thanks.
