[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] against the proposed price increase to .COM domains.
by Morphy Hu Feb. 14, 2020

I am a registrant of a .com domain name. 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. Best regards Morphy

Please don't make these changes. Pricing for these domains is high enough. If prices continue to rise, you will ensure that only the most successful of companies are able to afford com TLDs.

As a business owner seeking to utilize my .com site this year, I am absolutely against raising the cost of .com domains 8 out of the next 10 years! I just had my taxes done tonight and it’s incredibly ridiculous at the amount of taxes I will owe this year! Add to that the increasing cost of goods sold and supplies! Enough is enough...

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] I am against the payment and its associated price increases.

This change to the contract with Verisign has come up suddenly, and although I appreciate the comment period, I think that the decision to raise prices for .com domains is due to an influence from special interests and not the people themselves. Verisign’s $20 million payment to ICANN is not promised to do anything, and there is not much information forthcoming. To me, it seems like a cash grab, as the benefits of this have not been made clear. I am against this decision, and I hope you will use the feedback from actual (non-millionaire) people to stop this price increase. Sincerely, Ricardo G. Willems

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Stop the Price Increase!

A price increase will only be detrimental to all small owners of .com properties. It will increase costs to maintain a site putting the ability to start a online business out of reach for many. It will also only increase url hoarders shares so they can further price gouge shoppers for specific .coms. Existing owners of .coms will not even reap a benefits from such an increase

I oppose the plan to increase the price of .com domains. The increase is going to price individuals out of a way to create or maintain their businesses. Only large corporations will be able to absorb the cost of owning a domain. What are your plans for the additional funds you will be receiving? Will the extra funds benefit the owners of the domains, users of the internet or just line your own pockets? Are you trying to stifle entrepreneurs by pricing them out of the access to the internet even before they can begin their business journey? Its difficult enough to build a solid foundation and large following on the web without adding extremely high prices each year for maintaining a domain. You are going to price people out of the market before they even get started. Also, you could make it easier for individuals to comment on this matter. When I clicked on the "Submit Comment" button it opened my email without an address to send the message. Why are you being so tricky about this? What are you hiding? Angie

Dear ICANN, As a private domain user, i want to contribute to the .com registry agreement. Here are my comments and propositions: Excluding to be ruled by a government law As .com is an international extension, Any ICANN registry agreement regarding .com should not be related with a government law. This means that verisign's cooperative agreement with the US government must be rejected. I a cooperative agreement is needed, this one should receive validation by the United Nations. opening competition There should be an opening competition in the .com registry agreement. Every 5 years, ICANN should open a competition for the .com registry agreement. protection against price increase / rules about prices Regarding this international extension Regarding the "one world one internet" ICANN's vision There should be a protection against price increase and rules about .com prices that take in count the world's differences. Populations of the world should not be excluded from registering a .com because of its high price. .com price is already too high for many poplulation in the world, keeping increasing this price will exclude more people. i suggest to fix a decent price that lets people all over the world being able to register a .com Thank you MK.
