Please keep the .com prices at an affordable rate for all of us little businesses. My name is my .com and it doesn't seem fair that I would have to pay for the privilege of using it. I don't know how internet works but I know you have expenses as do we all. I am just.now starting to build my business I am on a shoestring, I am not able at 70 + years to pay for a big increase in costs for something as important as my online presence. This country is becoming so greedy in business it is no longer a small business economy where you can't even afford a storefront or workspace so, many people work from home. Please don't make things harder for us by raising the prices on our .com sites. Sincerely, Willena Belden

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

Please do not go forward with these changes as it will affect so many and is not fair to domain owners. This is not something we will just “deal with” or “ignore”. Many of our livelihoods depend on our domains staying at reasonable pricing. Zulaika Hernandez

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

Feb. 11, 2020

This is wrong guys, STOP this agreement ASAP! Agreements "behind the curtain" that will (most likely) lead to price increase of .COM domains are bad for all of us and rise many questions.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Public Comment regarding .COM price increases
by Jason Fisher Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To Whom it May Concern, I am very concerned about the news that ICANN is considering approval to raise the cost of annual .COM domain registrations. Many small businesses like mine rely on our website to serve as our primary means of advertising and marketing. The Internet is vast and can be confusing. Just like a phone number or street address, a web domain is an essential way for new and existing customers to find a business, and for that business to demonstrate stability. But for many small companies like myself we cannot afford high costs to maintain a website. If costs to keep my .COM domain name were raised significantly, I would not be able to afford it. This would be very detrimental to my business not only because I would lose my website address but also because I would lose my email addresses. This would be very disruptive and extremely unfair to small businesses like mine. While I acknowledge that there are many huge companies that could likely easily afford cost increases to maintaining their .COM domain names I appeal to ICANN to not approve any significant increases in cost that would impact the enormous number of small business like mine out there that rely on their stable web presence. At a minimum, any increases should be based on company revenue or web traffic etc. It would run counter to ICANN’s original mission if you were to restrict access to these domains only to those who could afford large payments. Thank you, Jason Fisher Solar Technical Consulting LLC Charlottesville Virginia, USA

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM, Registry Agreement

Hello, I am writing to voice my opposition to Proposed Amendment 3. The web, and global DNS, were envisioned to be run for the public, and they SHOULD be run for the public. Profiting at the expense of all else, it means that freedom doesn't exist for us. Please do not adopt this proposal.

To Whom it May Concern, The costs of registering a domain are expensive enough and the costs that you incur can’t be worthy of the price increases you are proposing. Sincerely, John Farley -- John Farley

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Price increases to .com domain registration
by Russell Meier Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Greetings,I have a personal .com domain. Price increases to the anual registration fee would make owning such a domain unresonable. This would take the internet out of the hands of individuals and make it only affordable to the wealthy and coperations. Please do not go through with these unnecessary and antipublic price increases. Thank you, Russell Meier

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Objection to increase in wholesale .com price
by Alfie Carlisle Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I am a registrant of several .com domain names. Nobody other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices. The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest - this unilateral decision goes against the grain of that mantra. Regards, Alfie Carlisle England, UK.
