[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Against Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by John Kaczmarek Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I am against the proposed Amendment 3 to .COM domains. Verisign is merely your manager of the .COM Registry – it has no business dictating the price. Furthermore serious changes need to made into how future agreements are made. Peace, john k

I would like to register my displeasure at learning that .COM gTLD prices will be rising without important stakeholders being represented. The amendments are a worrying development for the future of competition among registrars. Sincerely David Haw on behalf of Anarchy Web Design.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] I oppose the amendment
by Karl Diederich Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I oppose the amendment to the Verisign, Inc contract. It is a bad deal for the internet, the world at large, and most of the people dwelling on earth. It is a bad deal for everyone other than Verisign, Inc and ICANN because the deal could result in substantially higher prices for .com top level domains (TLDs). The increase is far too great. Further, what essentially equates to kickbacks from Verisign to ICAAN are immoral. The contract should be opened to the free market for bidding, prior to such a large price increase. Or a scheme should be developed for multiple companies to manage .com TLDs, thereby creating competition. -Karl D

No closed door deals. Decentralize the internet instead of privatizing it. Improve access instead of hindering it. Leave a better legacy.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] New charges .com
by Mark Soons Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear ICANN, I would like to comment on the plans to charge significantly more for .com domain names in the near future. As a longtime user of .com domains I think it is my obligation to object against the structural price increases. This will be a great influence of the web structure in the years to come, not in a positive way! Hereby I would like to oppose against any form of price increase higher than inflation corrections.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Price Increases
by Jason Silverman Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Good morning, I am writing in regards to the proposed price increase on .COM names due to the behind-closed-doors deal-making that hasn't taken into consideration the actual people who utilize these services. I am a designer with a portfolio site. I maintain and regularly update this site to make myself more attractive as a prospect for potential employers. You are effectively increasing my annual cost of infrastructure necessary for the advancement of my business and career. And for what? So you can get $20M and some mega corporation can pad their pockets some more? There is zero benefit to ME, the person who will have to assume the costs for this transaction, and 100% benefit to OTHERS who are not ME. This message is both NOT SPAM and also without equivocation against the proposed changes to the domain registration system. +1 my team. How many ACTUAL people are on yours?

This is disgusting and sounds like another greedy corporation grabbing more money than it needs! I struggle as it is to promote my small business online without a possible 70% price rise in domain name charges, the internet should be a place for community and support it saddens me that a few elite individuals make these sneaky decisions to line their own pockets. Shame on them Mrs K Hudson UK resident
