[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Public comments concerning Amendment 3
by Mitchell Freitas Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

It is entirely disappointing to continuously see attempts of major corporations attempt to bypass the opinion and consent of its major users for monetary benefit. I strongly oppose amendment 3 and strongly condemn ICANN officials for taking such steps to pass an agreement that would be detrimental towards the progression of human society by means of the internet and domains. The TLD .COM has for decades been a means for individuals to change their own lives, and shape the direction of society, through what they create. By passing this amendment, and inadvertently allowing the price hikes to registrations of .COMs you are stifling innovation and stifling the dreams of global citizens who use this address as a means of hope for a better life. Do not pass this amendment. Do not move forward with this deal with Verisign. Remember that you serve the global public first, before any shareholder or government.

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

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear Sir and Madam, I am writing this letter to show my opposition against price increase on .com domain name. I am a registrant of a .com domain name and I don't see a reason for the price to change. Is it going to help individuals who want to have their website on .com or a big company Verisign to get more money out of their business? ICANN should regulate the domain name system in the public interest. Best regards, Andrii Nikolaienko Kyiv, Ukraine.

I oppose this amendment. Verisign is being given a monopolistic privilege to arbitrarily set prices. This amendment has no sound technical or economic basis. Logan M Hood Herndon, Virginia

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] NO on Amendment 3
by Amy Kotas Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To whom it may concern, I disagree with the proposed amendment 3, which would increase the cost of .COM domains over a period of time. Without a doubt .COM is the most valuable and trusted domain level, and by making it less affordable you are reducing competition. Tech prices typically go down with scale, and there is no justifiable reason to increase the prices. Sincerely, Amy Kotas Brattleboro, VT, USA

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

I wish to state my absolute opposition to Proposed Amendment 3 and to any agreement that allows an increase in registration fees of any top level domain that exceeds inflation. According to the Memorandum of Understanding, mid 1998, between the U.S. Department of Commerce and ICANN, ICANN was to be a non-profit entity with a primary focus to maintain the DNS system in the public's best interest and "promote ... development ... of mechanisms to solicit public input..." I am having difficulty understanding how the deal quietly negotiated between ICANN and Verisign, which allows .com registration costs to increase 70% in the next ten years, is consistent with this mandate? Or how the exchange of $20 million from an entity with such a vested interest to that with oversight of that interest avoids a strong taint of impropriety. Chuck Gustafson

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

Feb. 11, 2020

To whom it may concern This email is about expressing my opposition for the planned .COM price increase. I am a domainer (I invest in domain names as a business). 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.

I prefer ICANN is to find another way to raise budget and don't solve the problem at the expense of only registrants of a .com domain name. https://domainnamewire.com/2020/01/03/com-prices-are-going-up-after-verisig… Andrey Khlebutin Perm, Perm Krai Russia
