Doing business in an honorable way is the core value of any respected Company. Striking one sided deals like these means you treat your customers like dirt. Not worth your time to build a lasting relationship are you!! This MUST STOP. We have a voice too... Sent fm GL's iP6S+

Re: [Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Andrew Ward Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hi there, I'm contacting to let you know that myself and our team oppose the new Amendments 3, which would enable price growth to own .com domains by 70% over the decade. We aren't against price increases, especially if those increases are kept in line with inflation, however, I don't feel the current proposals do not achieve the right balance. I also think this sets a dangerous precedent, where domain registrars can follow-suit and massively inflate rates changed with no ability for the consumer to do anything about it. -- Thanks, Andrew Andrew Ward *Managing Director* *Scorchsoft* - Making Complex App Projects Simple p: 0121 724 0447 w: scorchsoft.com w: andrewleeward.com <https://www.andrewleeward.com/> e: andrew(a)scorchsoft.com <https://twitter.com/scorchsoft> <https://linkedin.com/in/andrewleeward> [image: ðŸŽ¤] Listen to Andrew speak on the Modern CTO Podcast > <https://www.scorchsoft.com/blog/modern-cto-andrew-ward/>

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

OBJECTIONS It is no joke, but since when did ICANN become an agent for the Zimbabwean or South African governments by trying to force people from their "internet" estate with ever increasing "taxes"? Today Carl Marx is laughing in his grave. The funny part is that ICANN is rather open about the bribe they are receiving to screw us. I object to: 1. Lifting the pinned price for .com registrations. 2. The bribe excepted by ICANN to unfairly provide Verisign with elevated privileges. If Verisign wants to donate, let them, but without any strings attached. 3. The .com TLD must never be controlled by a participating registrar.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] ICANN .com price increases
by Laurence Summers Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hello, I am writing regarding the consultation on the proposed changes to the .com TLD pricing structure. .com is a TLD of particular cultural significance and represents the best value TLD by far. It’s iconic status and reasonable pricing has made it the most popular domain and losing that over needless profiteering seems disappointingly myopic. I therefore urge you to abandon any plans to increase the prices of .com TLDs. Laurence Summers Sent from my iPhone

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Grave Mistake
by Sascha Forster Feb. 11, 2020

I think it would be a grave mistake to let this amendment increase .com domain prices, as low domain prices encourage young businesses to establish their online presence early.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Saying no to price increases

There is not much needed to be said. This doesn’t seem like it’s going to be fair. I bet most of us are going to lose our domain names because we might not be able to afford what ever the price increase may be. 70% seems like a lot.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please explain how is this price increase justified?
by Top5Hosting Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hello, I read the article at namecheap and it says you will be getting additional 20 million a year. How is this price increase justified and what are the money going to be spend on? ICANN is a nonprofit organization and it should have transparency in its policy. Also, in the long run, the price will affect a lot of our small business clients who we help get web hosting and domain information. Please be more transparent in your decisions.

Prices should NOT be increased, internet should be for EVERYONE. You, people from ICANN and VeriSign already make enough money.
