[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Cheaper Domain Names Makes Sense
by Adam Chin Feb. 11, 2020

It inspires entrepreneurial activity, takes one less stress point away from small businesses, and allows TLD creativity. Keep domains priced as they are. It's the right move.

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

Feb. 11, 2020

I am writing to express my displeasure with your proposed agreement affecting .Com users and smaller domain companies. The proposed price increase over the next several years will have a negative impact on many website owners who are mainly people who blog and have other small websites as hobbies. It will also lesson the competition over time which could greatly increase price. I urge this not to happen. S Jerrell

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com price increase
by Heather Mitchell Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hi, Even though prices for .com websites will increase, this does not guarantee that more profit will be made by increasing the price for .com websites. Most websites must rely on email list to gain customers. If a brand has loyal customers, and the bran losses its .com status, the new owners of the website address do not automatically have access to email list that was gathered by the previous user. Also, the new website user does not automatically have access to social media feeds which may be associated with a website that has a popular or well known brand name. These facts may make it more difficult to sell many .com web addressed to new users. Heather Mitchell Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Thank You
by Daniel Roberts Feb. 11, 2020

I own a number of domains myself, yet believe current domain prices support mass squatting practices. Any increase in domain prices will support a healthier domain ecosystem for the future. Thank you for beginning this process by allowing for price increases. -- Daniel Roberts CEO // "Admiral of Altruism // Friendly Human M: 404.983.5417 // W: friendlyhuman.com <https://friendlyhuman.com/?utm_source=email&utm_campaign=daniel_email_signa…> A: 659 Auburn Ave NE, STE 252, Atlanta, GA 30312 <https://maps.google.com/?q=659+Auburn+Ave+NE,+STE+252,+Atlanta,+GA&entry=gm…>

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] this is not right
by Maarten Van der Meer Feb. 11, 2020

Hi, you are making terrible abuse of your position. Why would you raise these prices? There is no reason except your own greed. Please consider being fair to the community, because that is what Internet is really about. Regards, Maarten Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] ICANN changes to the contract it has with Verisign
by Joel Plotkin Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hi, You should NOT allow any price increases in the Verisign contract or in the .com wholesale pricing. You should NOT allow Verisign to be domain name registrar. You should expand the number of TLD .com providers to at least 10 different companies three of which should be nonprofit to force competition and drive down prices. Joel Plotkin

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Negative response to the Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Warhola, Pablo Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

ICANN, Please consider the millions of .com users who will have less ability to register .com domain names in the future if this proposed amendment 3 is implemented. Why is making the .com TLD more expensive and less accessible to the general public a good thing for anybody other than ICANN? Please keep .com affordable for all. Thank you, Pablo N.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Don’t raise the price!
by emily sbs Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I understand the need to keep p with inflation but I urge you to cap the increases to only 1 or 2% per year to keep up with inflation. Anything more than that is being greedy by a select few people and unfair to the community at large. Don’t be greedy.

Don't ruin the internet. Big players will certainly not feel the burden of your proposed increase, but the smaller businesses and individual users definitely will.

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

As a non-profit organization, ICANN should NOT be allowing Top Level Domain operators to also be Domain Registrars. This is a clear Conflict of Interest and should never be allowed to occur. As such, the new contract with yearly rate-cap increases should also not be allowed.
