[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Price Increase in .com
by Babajide Odulaja Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear ICANN, We appreciate your management and control over .com registry. I have been informed of a proposed increase in price of this item. This is not the way to go. Reason being that; every internet presence today uses this resource and the usage keeps souring higher by the day. This will fleece users off resources and kill the motivation to get a web presence especially from the developing countries. Why not create another package and offer to those interested while the general .com gets cheaper. My pennyworth.

To levy a charge as significant as that discussed to such a magnitude of customers without clear clarification of the reasons signals arrogance. The internet is not yours to be arrogant with. Regards Michael Donnelly Sent from my iPhone

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] prices for .COM comment from smaller businesses
by Ali Parandeh Zandpour - Urbytus Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear Icann team, Having received and read the report on price increases, I would like you to consider the following. A huge majority of the businesses are small entrepreneurs that earn just enough to cover costs. Increasing prices is acceptable, but it becomes unacceptable when the fee is not controlled. For a company with 10 domains, it is affordable, for a company with 100 domains, it is a considerable cost difference. Most SMEs hold around 50 to 100 domains and it could result easily in shedding of a lot of domains, un renewed business for you and the smaller business which make up the majority. We already get several clients every year who drop their personal domain and hosting as cost saving measures. This can only increase if we have to increase our prices. We hope that this will make a difference in you considering the bigger picture of cancelations to come VS revenue earned from the increase.

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

Feb. 11, 2020

I strongly object to the removal of limitations in the price increase of .com domains, however ICANN will probably ignore objections like they did in the past despite overwhelming objections from internet property owners. So lets face it, ICANN is no longer there to protect the interests of internet property owners; ICANN is now merely a puppet of American technology corporations. This is classic politics, but it is also the declaration of an economic cyber war if the amendment is passed despite objections. At least ICANN is open about the fact that they now except bribes from Verisign to screw internet property owners. OBJECTIONS 1. Price Increases - If Verisign cannot do the job at the previously agreed price, get a company who will. Dot.com prices increased drastically over the past years for internet property owners in other parts of the world as result of exchange rate fluctuations, despite the USD price being pinned. 2. How can Verisign Operate as a Domain Registrar without gaining an unfair advantage over other registrars? Many countries and even the US have legislation against such practices where companies can push their opposition out of the market based on privileges they have. This does not differ from other white collar crimes, especially in stock market trading. 3. And that brings us to the $20 Million bribe paid by Verisign to ICANN. You can motivate it whichever way you want, it is bribery, corruption and criminal. If Verisign want to donate the amount, let them do it but then they should not have any role in .com TLD registrations other than that of a regular registrar. If this amendment goes through despite objections, be prepared for the backlash.

Hi, I heard that ICANN is wanting to increase prices for .com domains in accordance with verisign. How is it prices are always rising even though you are going to receive millions of dollars? Why is it always the little paying for the big? The internet is one of the few ways one little entrepreneur is able to make his business known and earn something. How is this going to be possible if the prices increase until the point only the big enterprises will be able to buy a .com domain? We are fed up. We hope you are reading our comments after all and take the right decision, Regards

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Making .com domains less accessible
by Alberto Pérez García-Plaza Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

This amendment sounds to me like a new step on making .com domains less accessible for individuals. Raising up prices up to 70% or more, if we have into account the past, is vaguely justified. Are salaries going to raise up the same way? Please don't make deals that will end with a less accessible Internet, unless you want an Internet of corporations rather than individuals. Thanks for your attention, Alberto.
