[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Unacceptable if rises the price.

This amendment is unacceptable and boils down to the fact that ICANN is soliciting funds to account for its inefficiency in running itself as an organization that should get its funds from the people and not corporates that are bodies funded by profits.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Domain Name Price Increase
by Michael Greiner Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I think that it is quite unfair that you have chosen to go behind many people and organization’s backs to raise prices on domain names. Please reconsider your actions. Is it necessary to make Verisign pay out to you $20 million over the next 5 years? Michael Greiner 816-895-2757 stellarhomeservices.com info.stellarhomeservices.com Satisfied with our service?

I am associated with a registry. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices. Verisign is merely your manager of the .COM Registry – it has no business dictating the price. Bora Alp Arat Istanbul, Istanbul Turkey

These will kill lots of possibilities. Do not raise the fee. Lots of young startup have very tight budget and by raising the price of .com will hugely impact millions of young startup. Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10

Hello, I am an internet user and own several domains. I have come across the changes being made to the contract with Verisign, Inc. (i.e., Proposed Amendment 3 to .COM Registry Agreement). Various changes are happening. I am not in favor of the changes given that many answers are not answered. While stated that the changes would preserve and enhance the security and stability of the Internet or the .COM TLD no explanation has been given how and in what way. Nor has any explanation been given regarding the growth of the .COM wholesale domain prices by over 70% over and above the current prices within the next decade. Such an increase appears to be inline with increased profits. The .COM domains will become less accessible and more expensive. Similar to other domains that have a much higher price (e.g., .IO). Moreover, along with the contract changes, Verisign agrees to pay ICANN an additional 20 million dollars over five years to support ICANN’s domain name system initiatives. There is no clarity as to how ICANN will spend the money, or who will ensure properly allocating the funds for domain infrastructure. Clarity and transparency are lacking from the changes to the contract with Verisign, and the changes do not appear to benefit the public but are rather behind closed door agreements. Why are these changes being made? Why is the increase in price so significantly? Why were these changes made only by ICANN and Verisign without proper input and consideration from the public? What benefits are the public expected to see with the changes? How do ICANN and Verisign benefite? As a user and customer online, I do not agree with the contract changes (Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement) or increase in fees and prices that will ensue over the coming years. I am against the contract changes and do not wish for the changes to be approved. Please reconsider, Julius

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Disagreement of the Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement

Dear ICANN Team, I hope you are well. My company received the notification regarding there will be an increment of the domain registration fee. I would like to express my disagreement on this matter as the following reasons: 1. My company and my clients are mostly small-medium businesses, the increment of the fee will create a burden for us and our clients. 2. Knowing that your company is controlling all the extensions of the domain names (such as .com, .io, .net and many more). Despite there is an agreement between Verisign and ICANN, as your customers, we think it is necessary we should be first informed about the detail of at least: - why it is increased - how the fund will be spent and for what type of benefiting improvements that will be made - the scale or percentage of increase It is appreciated ICANN could consider renegotiating the deal with Verisign or extending the effective date of the price increment at a reasonable range. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you very much. Regards, *Jordan Lau* *Gexaa Technologies*

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Poor idea

Hello, I want to express my dissatisfaction with Amendment 3. In particular, I believe that allowing Verisign to operate it's own registrar will negatively impact consumers due to their position and influence over .COM pricing. Thank you, Nathan Wright St. Louis, MO 63118
