[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Do not raise .com prices

.com has been pivotal in changing the face of not only leading world countries, but developing nations. Increasing the price of the most well-recognized domain could severely hinder new growth and opportunities with startups and individuals on an international level. Please keep things as they are to continue to encourage growth among a variety of sectors. Thank you for your time.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Higher ICANN prices
by Arthur Rooks Feb. 11, 2020

This is preposterous to inflate such minute cost for domain names. Is it about improving the infrastructure or padding your pockets. Coming up with .extension that are not even recognized by email servers but yet charging just the same cost. How about fixing problems that are needing attention instead of creating more outrageous issues about padding your pockets. The .name domain name is not recognized as a fully unified domain name. This is just one out of the many. Ok guys, let's get it together, quite sitting behind desks and making life harder for small companies than it has to be. Your are not Walmart and never will be. Be content in customer service instead of lip service and raising cost.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] please think long-term economy

Just notified of potential price increases for .com domain, and want to urge you to consider the long-term effects of price-gouging a primary market, and how that may impact the operation and local laws of commerce. My guess is that the .com market is the most lucrative and therefore most likely to agree to price increases, as it would only increase the value of their online brand; however, it is sensible to consider how this will affect competition and increase barriers to entry of small and new businesses. Is there no potential for costly litigation resulting from backlash of intense price increases? At least, it would be careless and naive for any authority to not consider this. It's never just about money. -- *:)rickymay* beijing

If you continue to raise .com prices, then I'll just start using .net and other TLDs You'll just end up losing money in the long run.

We are living in a time where everything is increasing s rapidly that tiny businesses like mine are becoming increasingly more rare. All these costs add up. A website is like a business card it’s almost a requirement, driving up the cost will only hurt small businesses.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Price increases for .com

I am terribly concerned about this recent decision on your part to allow price increases for .com registrations. I am a visual artist with a personal website, and also have a domain registration for my digital photo restoration services. I already pay a lot for my websites for my art and photo restoration services, as well as for another website that is totally dedicated to watercolor instruction for FREE to users. I can't afford for my domain name registration costs to increase annually for ???? Please reconsider this decision. It affects a LOT of small business owners just like me. Thank you, Ellen Fountain Fountain Studio and Digital Photo Restoration Tucson

I am writing to voice my opposition to Proposed Amendment 3. No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices. The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest.
