by Fabrizio Guzmán Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I read about increase on fee for .com domains I do not agree on this high level increase be use my guzman guzman.com domain is not intended for commercial porpoises, is only for family names e-mail. I have uses this domain for e-mail comunicación with banks, create accounts that uses e-mail account as a user. This mean, in case of high increase I will be forced to cancel guzman guzman.com and will be affected because need to cancel all my family activity on the net. Wife, daughters and relatives. Witch is not fair I will appreciate your considerations Best regards Please do not do so Enviado de mi IPhone

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Stop Price Increase
by Máté Kovács Feb. 11, 2020

Dear ICANN Team, I'm writing in regards to the planned price increases to .COM domain names. As a software engineer, I have several .COM domain names registered to showcase my work. I strongly disagree with the amendment. It will negatively impact not only small businesses that operate websites, but also developers who distribute software, often free of charge. Please do not raise the prices of domain names, and consider reversing the amendment. Thank you, Mate Kovacs

Hope $VSRN execs buy big monstrous summer mansions with this dough I'll be reducing my domain registrations accordingly, just like I ship less US mail with every annual price hike 3 days of public comments? Why even bother

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

Feb. 11, 2020

I am completely against this proposal. This is absurd and is blatantly a for profit company bribing a non-profit under the guise of helping, and the effects will be far reaching - not for ICAAN, certainly not for Verisign, but for everyday users who will see costs dramatically increase with little to no benefits. Where is this $20 million being used? No details given except broad assurances which do not mean anything. If Verisign is so supportive of improving things, why do they need to increase prices in order to offer assistance? Their profit margin is already quite high I suspect. Dean Robinson

I am a registrant of some .com domain names. 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. Andrew Wagner (609)468-0142 abaranwagner(a)gmail.com

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] What you are doing is not right

Raising prices like this is not right. Clearly it is just for your own profit and adds nothing to small business owners who work on a small budget.

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

Feb. 11, 2020

I am opposed to the Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement between ICANN and Verisign Inc. I currently hold registrations for three (3) .COM domain names; homebuilt-lan.com (since 1998), rlbuckmaster.com (since 2010), and jobhuntgps.com (since 2015). Over the past 20 years I have held registrations for numerous other .COM domain names. Therefore, I have a deep vested interest in any changes to pricing related to .COM domain name registration. I am opposed specifically because there can be no valid justification to allow .COM domain registration prices to increase annually at more than twice the forecast global inflation rate. This is especially true when the cost of technology required to support TLD name services has decreased rapidly over the last 10 years. It is claimed that ICANN and Verisign Inc. negotiated these changes without input from other parties. This is a direct violation of the ICANN charter to operate with transparency and in the public interest. If the Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement between ICANN and Verisign Inc. is adopted as is, I will contact my U.S. Congressman and U.S. Senators requesting they open an investigation to determine if ICANN has violated its charter to operate in the public interest when secretly negotiating with Verisign Inc. Specifically, if any payments promised by Verisign Inc to ICANN in exchange for the Proposed Amendment 3 are a violation of the ICANN charter and/or U.S. law. Respectfully, Richard L. Buckmaster
