[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Sophia Knapp Feb. 13, 2020

Feb. 13, 2020

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. Sophia Knapp Los Angeles, California United States Sent from my third eye

Hello, I have become aware of the new Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement and would like to voice my concerns on the financial burden this will have on small business owners such as myself. Do not allow this amendment to be passed. It will impact many business in a financially negative fashion. Warm regards and thank you, Carmen Colicchio SUNTASTIC HONEYMOONS AND VACATIONS

Thank you! -----Original Message----- -----------------------------------------What's happening?Last month, ICANN, the organization that oversees domain names, announced significant changes to the contract it has with Verisign, Inc. who operate the .COM top-level-domain (TLD).ICANN 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, we are focused on leading the fight against price increases that will harm our customers (and the Internet as a whole). This is a crucial time to raise our voices given that .COM domains make up 40% of all registered domain names online.What does this change mean?Wholesale registries will be charged a set fee per domain name per year. According to this new agreement, Verisign will be allowed to increase the wholesale price to registrars for .COM domains every year for 8 out of the next 10 years, and the increases don’t stop there.This will mean that .COM wholesale domain prices can grow by more than 70% over and above current prices over the next decade. The contract also allows for other price increases, which could drive prices up further, ultimately making .COM domains less accessible and more expensive for everybody.Why is ICANN doing this?Alongside these contract changes, Verisign agreed to pay ICANN an additional $20 million dollars over five years to support ICANN's domain name system initiatives, without any clarity about how ICANN will spend the money, or who will ensure that the funds are properly spent on domain infrastructure. #yiv8785683525 #yiv8785683525 body, #yiv8785683525 table, #yiv8785683525 td, #yiv8785683525 a{}#yiv8785683525 table, #yiv8785683525 td{}#yiv8785683525 img{}#yiv8785683525 img{border:0;height:auto;line-height:100%;outline:0;text-decoration:none;}#yiv8785683525 table{border-collapse:collapse!important;}#yiv8785683525 body{min-height:100%!important;margin:0 auto!important;padding:0!important;width:100%!important;}#yiv8785683525 a .yiv8785683525filtered99999 {color:inherit!important;text-decoration:none!important;font-size:inherit!important;font-family:inherit!important;font-weight:inherit!important;line-height:inherit!important;}#yiv8785683525 .yiv8785683525a5q, #yiv8785683525 .yiv8785683525a6S{display:none!important;}#yiv8785683525 #yiv8785683525modBrowser{color:#a4a4a4;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;font-weight:400;text-align:right;padding:12px 32px 12px 32px;}#yiv8785683525 #yiv8785683525modBrowser .yiv8785683525link{color:#a4a4a4;text-decoration:none;}#yiv8785683525 #yiv8785683525modLogo{border-top:solid 7px #8bc1c1;padding:42px 56px 56px 56px;}#yiv8785683525 #yiv8785683525modLogo .yiv8785683525logo{color:#f14722;font-size:16px;display:block;text-align:left;}#yiv8785683525 #yiv8785683525modBody{color:#666261;text-align:left;padding:0 56px 56px 56px;}#yiv8785683525 #yiv8785683525modBody .yiv8785683525link{color:#f14722;text-decoration:none;}#yiv8785683525 #yiv8785683525modBody h1{color:#6d6f70;font-size:32px;font-weight:600;line-height:38px;margin:0 0 40px 0;}#yiv8785683525 #yiv8785683525modBody .yiv8785683525copy-18{font-size:18px;font-weight:700;line-height:28px;margin:0 0 22px 0;}#yiv8785683525 #yiv8785683525modBody .yiv8785683525copy-16{font-size:16px;font-weight:400;line-height:24px;margin:0 0 22px 0;}#yiv8785683525 #yiv8785683525modBody .yiv8785683525copy-16-lt{font-size:16px;font-weight:400;line-height:24px;margin:0 0 36px 0;}#yiv8785683525 #yiv8785683525modBody .yiv8785683525copy-16-tp{font-size:16px;font-weight:400;line-height:24px;margin:22px 0 0 0;}#yiv8785683525 #yiv8785683525modBody .yiv8785683525list{color:#666261;font-size:16px;line-height:24px;padding:0 0 15px 0;}#yiv8785683525 #yiv8785683525modBody .yiv8785683525list-lt{color:#666261;font-size:16px;line-height:24px;padding:0 0 30px 0;}#yiv8785683525 #yiv8785683525modBody .yiv8785683525bullet{color:#f05422;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;width:50px;font-size:30px;line-height:23px;text-align:center;}#yiv8785683525 #yiv8785683525modFooter{color:#807a79;padding:48px 20px 48px 20px;}#yiv8785683525 #yiv8785683525modFooter .yiv8785683525ghost-link{color:#807a79;text-decoration:none;}#yiv8785683525 #yiv8785683525modFooter .yiv8785683525icann{color:#807a79;display:block;font-size:14px;}#yiv8785683525 #yiv8785683525modFooter .yiv8785683525txt-14{font-size:14px;line-height:21px;margin:0;}#yiv8785683525 #yiv8785683525modFooter .yiv8785683525txt-14-bt{font-size:14px;line-height:21px;margin:0 0 32px 0;}#yiv8785683525 #yiv8785683525modFooter .yiv8785683525txt-12-tp{font-size:12px;line-height:18px;margin:24px 0 0 0;}#yiv8785683525 #yiv8785683525modFooter .yiv8785683525txt-12{font-size:12px;line-height:18px;margin:0;}@media screen and (max-width:480px){#yiv8785683525 .yiv8785683525wrapper{width:100%!important;max-width:100%!important;}#yiv8785683525 .yiv8785683525fluid{width:100%!important;}#yiv8785683525 .yiv8785683525img-max{max-width:100%!important;}#yiv8785683525 .yiv8785683525mobile-hide{display:none!important;}#yiv8785683525 .yiv8785683525no-padding{padding:0 0 0 0!important;}#yiv8785683525 .yiv8785683525logo{max-width:200px!important;}#yiv8785683525 .yiv8785683525a-cn{text-align:center!important;}#yiv8785683525 .yiv8785683525a-lt{text-align:left!important;}#yiv8785683525 .yiv8785683525a-rt{text-align:right!important;}#yiv8785683525 h1{font-size:26px!important;line-height:32px!important;}#yiv8785683525 .yiv8785683525pad-modLogo{padding:40px 24px 10px 24px!important;}#yiv8785683525 .yiv8785683525pad-modBody{padding:40px 24px 48px 24px!important;}}#yiv8785683525

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com price increase
by Jason Feb. 13, 2020

Feb. 13, 2020

I really hope you all can reconsider this price hike for .com domains, I’m a small business owner with 2 young children trying to get off the ground and a website (a good looking website with a .com at the end) is important I believe. When I can tell a customer to go to my website, it makes a the difference in the world. Please think about the small guy. Sent from Mail for Windows 10

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please do not open the door to this big a price hike.
by Matt Cramer Feb. 13, 2020

Feb. 13, 2020

I understand the need for domain name prices to keep up with inflation, but a 7% price increase per year is quite excessive. This needs to be capped with more reasonable limitations. Also, these deals need to be made in a more transparent process - the way this seems to have been a secret negotiation with Verisign with a very short commend period is a very unwelcome development. Not many people were even aware until a day before the comment period was scheduled to close. Sincerely, Matt Cramer

Feb. 13, 2020

The summary of the proposal I read about concentrates opportunity in the hands of the wealthy. Instead of raising the wealth bar on virtual real estate ownership you should focus on destroying incentives for domain squatters that sit on vacant properties. Amin Ariana
