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

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear Sir/Ma'am, Many of us own several domains which may or may not be commercial purposes. I purchase domains to protect my name and domains for my family members. An increase in price may or may not mean much to large corporations but for individual domain owners and enthusiasts, this is a huge deterrent. We should be encouraging and empowering more individuals to use the internet and secure a domain for a fun new project they may be working on. It should not feel like a financial burden.

The current plan to changes to the domain name system are a scam and abuse. It also will handicap the ability of the internet to be a free place. I strongly disagree with any changes being enacted.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please don’t increase domain prices
by Mohamed Elsharnouby Feb. 11, 2020

I grew up in a poor country where my father earned a few dollars a day. Buying a domain for a business that I wanted to start was a big investment that I needed to consider a lot before doing. I believe that expensive domains limit unfortunate people’s capabilities to be effective and have online presence or get out of poverty though opening a business, given that online business is easy to start than other business opportunities. Please don’t increase domains prices until poverty line of the world becomes a domain price in a day

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Against price increase for .com
by Zameel Amjed Feb. 11, 2020

For whom may it concern, I am against the price change for .com domain name change as; 1.we are running our business in South Asian countries and price increase is unbearable for slow growing businesses 2.public used to .com and there is more chance the website will not reach its audience if .com is changed However, if there is a method to increase the price based on the traffic and revenue a website generates i would support this change.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Behind closed doors?

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. If you're not transparent, then you're corrupt, and have no mandate to execute your function. WE the citizens have the right to know EXACTLY what you're doing with our money, and who in your organization is being personally enriched by this. Stop this disrespectful and greedy behavior.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] ICANN Verizon deal over .com name registry
by Dell Anderson Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

There is no need to increase .com annual fees above that charged in 2012 as alleged. If anything, technology improvements should reduce the cost of domain name registry. Furthermore what I read of the proposed ICANN deal, it has all the trappings of a sweetheart backroom bribery deal where Verizon agrees to split done of their increased rate increases with ICANN. Any rate increases are outrageous, and rate increases without significant rational need are even more outrageous. I stand with NameCheap and all other intelligent, independent, internet domain name registrars in opposing any rate increases whatsoever. Thank you. Dell Anderson Fairfield, CA
