[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] DON'T Pass this. Don't.

This is an outrageous new rule that will allow Verisign to charge customers a whole lot more for domain names, at the cost of absolutely no improvement to the infrastructure or service. Wholly unacceptable.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com price increase

Hi, I’m writing to raise my concerns about the increase in price of the .com domain as suggested. My first issue is that you did not even seek the participation of current registrars to share their views in the recommended price increases you propose. This indicates that there is something you do not want the public to know about this dealing and the fact that you will be receiving an extra $20,000,000 from Verisign, just makes this whole deal smell very fishy. Second, have you taken any thought on how many businesses and individuals you will affect all over the world with your price increases. This will make it hard for registrars and the end users to keep up with the fluctuating prices every year an in turn I can almost predict with vindication that there will be a drop in the number of .com domains registered. I urge you to rethinking your price increase and let us support more domain registrations which will in effect get you the outcome you require for your increased revenue. Wilson Muroki.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] This is ridiculous

I think this is a corrupt move behind closed doors and we all .com users will have to pay for this for the next decades to come. I am 100% against this agreement and will join the team to fight against .com price increases.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] don't be greedy ICANN!

I was informed about your intention to jack up .COM pricing — if you do this, you're going to create a groundswell of those who will begin looking for other top level domains to register under — that's what I intend to do if pricing becomes unreasonable — don't get greedy! -— I'm sure you've heard this story: "The Goose and the Golden Egg" — tread wisely — don't let your greed kill an already good thing — http://read.gov/aesop/091.html

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Opposition to ICANN .COM changes
by Meredith Louden Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

As a Small Business Owner, our business' livelihood and family's livelihood depends on our customers being able to easily find our websites under the .COM domain. It is difficult enough to run a small business as it is and fear that the price increases will force us to have to change our domain name, leading to loss of revenue in addition to difficulty with new customer acquisition. The ripple of ICANN's proposed changes will be detrimental to many small businesses across the United States, including my own. We strongly oppose any price increases to .COM domains and disapprove of ICANN's handling of this issue without consulting internet users.

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. Regards, LC
