[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com domain price increases
by Cecilia Schiller Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hello I am an independent artist and I depend on my website to share and sell my work and make a living. It is a modest living but a living none the less. And I believe I contribute in my small way to making the world a better place through my artwork. It’s important to me to keep .com domain prices low. Gradual increases could put me out of business and make the internet a pay to play environment. Think about all us small folks and what will happen to the internet if our creative voices are silenced. Please! Do NOT increase .com domain prices! Sincerely, Cecilia Cecilia Schiller www.ceciliaschiller.com

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Changes made without consulting internet users
by Rebecca Roberts Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To whom it may concern, I am writing to express my dismay in discovering the changes arranged for the .COM domain. These changes will not for the benefit of internet users at large and the proposed price increases could be extremely detrimental to global businesses and by extension, to the global economy. I ask that these changes are stopped immediately. Yours faithfully, Rebecca Roberts

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Sungil Ahn Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hello, I would like to voice my opposition to Proposed Amendment 3. I believe that the global DNS registration system should be run primarily as a public concern. The only entities that stand to benefit from the proposed arrangement are verisign itself, at the expense of the public. These price hikes will impact the millions of small, independent businesses and developers that rely on the system as is to make their livelihood. Further, this could prove yet another point of pressure that convinces a small business to make their online presence exclusively in the Facebook walled garden and eschew the web itself. 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.

This deal is horrible and will purposefully affect millions of people and businesses worldwide. The consequences of this decision will impact the entire Internet for many year. Don't monopolize the domain name market and all of us small business people who are dependant on our domain names for business.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] price increases for .com domains
by Boris Zharekhin Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

After reading several online news sources, I'm concerned that the proposed price increases of .com domains will compromise the accessible nature of the internet, especially in developing countries. Please reconsider your price hike. Best, Boris -- *Boris Zharekhin* Web Developer: VCUarts 804.827.0572 <(804)+827-0572> | zharekhinb(a)vcu.edu 325 N Harrison Street, Room 227

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comments regarding Amendment 3

I am, personally and through several businesses, a registrant of multiple .com domain names. When does the corporate greed end? With ICANN being the only provider for their services - we, the public, are beholden to them much like a monopoly. I would like to see where price increases are going - what services are being improved and generally, what is the justification for continuous incremental price hikes? I do not see how Verisign has any business dictating prices anyway - they provide no value in the domain registration process - they are simply a manager of the .COM registry. It is the ultimate example of corporate bureaucracy - inserting a middleman where none is needed - simply to generate money. Really guys, come back to earth. -Jeremy Walker
