[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Really??

Hi! I am absolutely mortified to hear about this unfair change to the prices of .com domains, especially, without any input from us customers in this day and age of full access to consumers via multiple technological platforms. I would urge you to reconsider this decision that can hurt many of us and do the right thing. Thank you, Cynthia

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

Feb. 11, 2020

I use the Internet but I am not a .com registrant. 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. Tino Myllyselkä Helsinki, Uusimaa Finland

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please do not increase the price of .com's

Please do not increase the price of .com's As a senior citizen the income I receive is fixed. I have a lot of .com's and it will be hard for seniors to keep up with the rising costs of living as it is. Thanks, Deb St. George debstgeorge(a)comcast.net On January 3, 2020, ICANN announced significant changes to the contract it has with Verisign, Inc. to operate the top-level domain .COM. ICANN and Verisign made these changes in secret, without consulting or incorporating feedback from the ICANN community or Internet users. Although ICANN has a history of making similar deals behind closed doors, and also of ignoring unified opposition against such action https://www.namecheap.com/blog/ensuring-icann-keep-domain-prices-in-check/ , Namecheap will continue to lead the fight against price increases that will harm our customers and the Internet as a whole.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Camments for amendment period
by Apt Applications Feb. 11, 2020

Hi, my name is David and I want to join the petiition against the .com domain increase. I am a small business owner Normally when these talks and agreements happen the public has little to no say. They happen behind closed doors almost like an aristocracy. Unfortunately, that leaves prices more expensive for everyone and it just never ends. The .com wholesale price could go over 70% over the next decade which can make it way harder for a consumer or a small business owner to afford domains. I know it's easy to take look at a 20M dollar check from a partnered company and get excited but please consider how this will affect everyone (not just in the usa). I know people in Mexico that can barely afford the domain prices as they are. Please consider the public opinion and needs on this matter. I for one think you should not move forward with this .com price increase Sincerely, David

These proposed changes will hurt small startup businesses who have limited capital. Please reconsider these changes and work towards making domain registrations affordable for the underserved communities of the world. Thanks, Peter Malone Sent from my iPhone
