[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] I oppose Amendment 3
by Sasha Papko Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

This amendment is a terrible idea and, if approved, will lead to the marginalization of those struggling with financial wellbeing by pushing them off of a .com market and ownership. This proposal is great illustration of a careless corporate greed. Shame on ICANN

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed price increases to domain names
by Ian Davies Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

It is an absolute disgrace that this price increase is being pushed through behind closed doors. The internet must remain an open system where the bar to entry is low, and hiking the .com domain name fees year after year would be completely contrary to that. I oppose this decision.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please Don't Raise Prices
by Jeffrey Rowland Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hello, Just want to add my name to the list of people who think raising the prices for .com is unnecessary and harmful, especially for those of us who own several .com domains and are struggling to make ends meet in the gig economy. A price increase for anything, especially something as intangible but necessary as this is outrageous. -- Jeffrey Rowland http://topatoco.com http://jjrowland.com

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] ICANN Price Increase

A price increase with no explanation of how the additional funds are going to be used is simply unacceptable. I am strongly opposed to this.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] New Verisign contract: public comment
by luxagen Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hi there, There seems to be both a distinct lack of accountability and a worrying conflict of interest in the new Verisign contract that encourages profiteering in .com domains over the next ten years at the expense of domain leasees without any real justification in terms of real costs. The conflict of interest comes in the form of Verisign's significant payment to ICANN; the lack of accountability is in what this money will be used for and how other stakeholders (i.e. leasees) will be protected from negative consequences. This all comes across as extremely shady and likely bad for accessibility of Internet resources over the next decade. ICANN has a responsibility to all Internet users to make reasonable decisions in the management of the critical shared resources it controls. If the current situation results in needless expense of .com domains, I predict that the central role the .com TLD has enjoyed to date will fade away, and this can only hurt ICANN and other players in the long run. Please come up with a better solution that builds in some kind of protection to convince everyone that the tail isn't wagging the dog here. Special interests inevitably play a large part in the management of our shared Internet infrastructure, but that infrastructure should not be used as a cudgel to exploit Internet users with. best regards, Luxagen

I buy a lot of Domains and consult with businesses and individuals. I suggest you do not increase the price or you will put a lot of individuals or businesses out of the market Some is better than something a mentor always tells me!

The ICANN Verisign deal allows Verisign to raise .com registration prices. I oppose this deal.
