[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Increase of .COM domains
by Anderson Rairt Timana Solier Feb. 11, 2020

It's ridiculous that your organization, called a "non-profit organization" makes a deal with Verisign to increase the price of the .COM domains to receive money. I don't know if you remember what the purpose of your "non-profit organization" was but even a blind could see this is no one of them. You're limiting the freedom of internet by making .COM domains restricted for a certain group that will pay for them.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please stop ICANN .com price increases

Hi... I don't believe that there is a good reason to be increasing the .com prices, other than corporate greed. In fact I know there isn't. Also, these sort of deals work against the spirit of the Internet, which originally was about openness... a time when prices of domains was very much cheaper and technical specifications for everything were open. Now we have secret deals made affecting everyone, done behind closed doors. How did that happen?

Re: [Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement - Vote against
by Elisa Fu Feb. 11, 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.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Bad Proposal
by Nick Schiwy Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hello, I am a registrant of a .com domain, among others. I am opposed to this increase in the .com domain registration cost. This is much more than a modest increase and amounts to no more than a money grab. ICANN is meant to work in the interest of the public. This is not in anyone's interest but Verisign and ICANN.

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

Nothing good ever comes from secret mettings and agreements where there is no limitation set to what percentage increases can occur or what timeframe exists for said increases. This is a misquided amendment and it should not be ratified. Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] To whom it may concern....

According to my current knowledge, the .COM TLD is the TLD of choice for most business owners given it is yet the most familiar among internet users. Among other things, and albeit subtle, it assists in building trust between online businesses and their customers. Internet businesses take on and maintain a plethora of business expenses in order to retain a professional online presence. Price increases to TLD's (especially .COM), incrementally or otherwise, places that much more of a strain upon small businesses and other modest (but legitimate) enterprises that seek to explore the worth of capitalism over the world wide web. While many of the details and responsibilities of the parties involved may yet elude my awareness and comprehension, as a small business owner, I request that if at all possible, the .COM TLD does not undergo an initial or renewal price increase (incrementally or otherwise). Thank you for your service and consideration. Sent from Mail for Windows 10
