[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Against proposal
by Joanne Keevers Feb. 14, 2020

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.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com cost increase
by Tarek Yusef Feb. 14, 2020

The cost of. Com registration should reflects the cost of running the registry. Over the years the cost of running and maintaining dot-com registrations has decreased. Instead of seeing a decrease in price we are seeing the opposite. Dot-com registration price should only increase if the costs associated with it increases otherwise it should be capped at current prices if not Lowered. Raising the prices of. Com detrimental and opportunistic especially given that the company has been given exclusive rights to run it. I am against an increase in. Com prices.

This price increase decision between ICANN and Verisign will impact businesses and individuals worldwide and we suggest that it is not implemented. In fact reduce these costs. Thank you

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] TYPICAL SCALPING
by Wizard Feb. 14, 2020

Feb. 14, 2020

This planned renewal hike is absolutely TYPICAL of everything USA. They set up long-term extortion rackets to grab every cent the world has to offer. USA is becoming a PARIAH NATION. The urls I register, I paid for, I invented and I keep funding just to leave on a register for my own purposes where THERE ARE ZERO ACTUAL COST even slightly justifiable. Then the damned USA parasites rip everyone off again each passing year. Money for jam. This latest massive registration price hike is a SCAM and CANNOT be justified in any way. The entire Icann system would easily be profitable at even $5.00 per url every year. Millions of repeat fees every year for free IS A GIFT. Icann now stinks about as badly as the Amazon rip off system where worldwide online USA monopolies force foreign buyers to pay USA taxes on remote, non-USA sales. THIS IS WRONG & IS THEFT BY USA. ALL USA monopolies are working an extortion racket against other nations AND THIS NEEDS TO BE STOPPED.We all know the entire decision about increasing USA extortion will be determined by USA people alone, so we all know these extra extortion fees WILL BE STOLEN WITHOUT BENEFIT, from all domain owning victims. I just wish the guy that invented the Internet had had the sense to hang onto the title deeds so grasping bums could be slapped inline. Had enough of this vast corruption and cash theft called America. _____ I am using the Free version of SPAMfighter <http://www.spamfighter.com/len> .

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] TlD Domain Price increase
by Graham Jolicoeur Feb. 14, 2020

Feb. 14, 2020

Hello, I am very concerned about the arrangement between Verisign and ICANN. As a regular every day person I am afraid I could in the future be unable to continue to afford my domain. My domain is part of my identity. Loosing it would cause me significant distress and harm. Please reconsider the amount by which Verisign is allowed to increase charges to wholesalers. Many Thanks, Graham -- Graham Jolicoeur web1(a)grahamjolicoeur.com

As an individual, the internet is an invaluable tool for be to communicate with others without barriers to entry. As a scientist, I wish to freely share my ideas and findings for the benefit of everyone. The proposed price increases make it more difficult for individuals like me to run a website and communicate my ideas to the larger world. Dustin Dewett

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comment opposing this decision
by Jamie Archer Feb. 14, 2020

Feb. 14, 2020

To whom it may concern it has been brought to my attention by my domain name registrar that due to your recent agreement with Verisign .com domains will undergo prices rises that are both arbitrary and unnecessary. This rank change for the pursuit of profit will vastly benefit large corporations and yourselves and produce no discernible benefit or innovation for the consumer. It constitutes artificial price fixing of a virtual resource and and has no relationship to reality. ICANN should not be an organisation that takes sides or allows one group of internet users to profit at the expense of others. It’s a disgusting decision and should be reversed. Sincerely Jamie Archer
