[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] oppose: Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Andy Kegel Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I oppose Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement. This increases costs for all users with no visible benefit. The sole benefit seems to be to increase profits at a monopoly provider. As a user of DNS and as an owner of DNS .com entries, I receive no benefit whatsoever for the increased costs. In the world of electronics and computing, services consistently DECREASE in costs and DNS costs should be dropping in the same way. Thanks, -andrew kegel, Washington, USA

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] ICAAN & Verisign
by Karl Buckland Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally complain regarding the changes made to the contract between ICANN and Verisign, Inc. who operate the .COM top-level-domain (TLD). To my understanding, these changes were made behind closed doors without any public consultation and without an open tender to other businesses. The possible price increases to .com domain names could see prices increase dramatically. I request that this decision is reviewed and adjusted accordingly. Either it should be opened up to competition, or further control should be put into place to prevent the current changes. The proposed changes should not go ahead as-is. Yours faithfully, Karl Buckland

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Opposition to Amendment 3
by Dugi Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hello, I would like to voice my opposition to Proposed Amendment 3. I can't afford to pay exorbitant prices for my domains each year - I can barely afford them as is. I've already been forced to let several of my domains expire. This will hurt the internet as we know it and will result in a less diverse, money-fueled trade. I don’t believe we want this for the internet — Please don’t taint it for the sake of money and greed. Please, think of the struggling entrepreneurs like me who can't afford this - you'll be taking away their business fronts. Nobody benefits from this except Verisign. Best regards, Dugaxhin Surdulli

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] America is getting greedy - The whole world sees it

Dear ICANN leadership. Raising the prices on domain names arbitrarily will only smother the growth to new start-ups, like ourselves. Yes, the prices of everything is going up, without accountability to the public – and Yes, your company also needs to be able to operate, despite others raising their prices to you, but to NOT provide a public accounting of why you are raising your prices and NOT showing that your increases closely match those you are receiving, smacks of just pure greed on behalf of your leadership! Because many Others are doing this at this time is why so many Americans are turning to socialism, as America is beginning to look hopeless! Please add-in some public accountability for public feedback, before raising your prices, to show some decency in your business. This is the way to show that your company is not deceiving your customers and to show that you are a responsible and respectable company!! No wonder many other countries are beginning to think that Americans are PIGS! Sincerely, Stephen Philpy Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] proposed dotcom price increases
by Clive Brown Feb. 11, 2020

We believe the internet to be a communal space. Yes it costs money to run it but no private company or corporation should be able to hold users to ransom, in effect, by controlling the price of their usage. Settle on an independently arbitrated rate and stick to it, with possible 5 or 10 year readjustments due to inflation, if neccessary Yours Clive Brown Richmond CA

Increasing the cost of domain registration will not only lower the number of websites, but also limit the voice of freedom. This to me seems another planned move by the corporate oligarchy to suppress free speech and opportunity to the people. Vote this proposal down or risk the threat of increased civil unrest.
