[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest.
by Arno Faure Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hello I am a registrant of a .com domain name. 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. Thanks for the consideration. Arno Faure.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Against Amendment 3
by Aaron Eckert Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

It is abundantly clear that ICANN will ignore this message, since it has shown it does not care what anyone thinks anymore; nonetheless, I wish to lodge my personal complaint against Amendment 3. In addition to transparently funneling money from domain holders into the pockets of ICANN board members, Amendment 3 largely consolidates domain registry under a single entity, Verisign, who is then free to engage in monopolistic behavior. There is absolutely nothing about this amendment that benefits the internet community at large. ICANN was founded in 1998 to promote internet stability, market competition, broad representation, and consensus. In the last year, ICANN has proven that these are no longer the principles by which it is guided. Greed, consolidation of power, and cash grabs are now all we can expect from this failed organization. Aaron Eckert

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com price increase
by Anthony Eastwood Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Any proposed price increase for .com domains should be in line with inflation and no more, otherwise the original price freeze makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Furthermore there are rumours that the information you provide regarding the price hike on icann.org is inaccurate and that .com prices could increase substantially more than you are saying they will. The reason for the price hike is not clearly justified and neither is the substantial payment made by Verisign to ICANN for this agreement. Sent from my iPhone

I'm concerned. Why .com domains prices should go up? What will the extra money be spent on if everything worked fine so far? --- Best regards, Alex Shuhayeu.

Dear Sirs, I think that by proposing the com price increase ICANN turned against its statutory mission and against the Internet community. Increase in prices will make com domain less accessible to all Internet users. ICANN must understand that they do not own the Internet or the decision makers will face criminal persecution. I believe ICANN should be now subject to thorough anti-monopoly investigation to discover the true motives of the decision makers of that action. ICANN made these changes in secret, without consulting the Internet community 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 actions, this time ICANN managers have gone too far. Your sincerely, Tomasz Bodinski

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] About rising .com prices
by Nico - Knittitude.com Feb. 11, 2020

Hello I found out that you and Verisign have decided to increase the prices for .com, all interesting you being to profit more, of course. This is not right, simply is not right for the user, especially for those who have their domain names for many years and maybe even a larger number of them. Is this what you consider fair, transparent bussiness? Is profit all that matters to you and users not at all? How much money do you need to feel satisfied? Will you take them in grave with you??? This is just wrong, just wrong and unfair, very egoistic from your part. Hoping still that a common sense lies in your soul and in the end will leave prices just as they are now. Have a good day.
