Consultation is important raising the domain price isn't a viable option and only makes it harder for other generations to enjoy what we have. Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the needs of the future generations....

This .com price increase is so obviously bad for the internet, but real great for your bottom line. Keep Verisign out

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Against the price hike
by Samy Achour Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 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. 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. SIgned, Samy Achour

I do not support the rise of .com prices. That is interfering with free trade and will disrupt a huge industry.

Hi, Been informed of your proposed changes by my domain name registrar. My domain is an academic one that just has my research work and CV. This is not like a business domain that earns money. Such hikes are bound to hurt me thoroughly, also considering that I don't earn anything meaningful in academia. Please make such considerations before making drastic changes. Thanks. James

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com Domain Price Increases
by Chuck Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To Whom it May Concern Regarding apparent price increases without a full and transparent needs justification is totally unacceptable. As a domain holder/buyer, I demand a full, public justification of any price increases over and above a reasonable and customary inflationary increase.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Opposition against .com price increases
by Dan Velasco Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I would like to voice my opinion, I strongly oppose the price hike of .com for the next 10 years that iCANN and verisign have agreed on. This does not benefit the consumer. It hurts the consumer, and it hurts the internet. This price hike is unnecessary. Costs have not gone up, thus there’s no reason to raise prices. The internet belongs to our society, to the people, and it should be accessible. When you increase the price of .com this will snowball into price increases with everything linked to the internet because .com is a big part of the internet. This will hurt and decrease accessibility to the internet by the consumer. And the internet is of and for the people. Plus iCANN has received 20 million dollars from verisign and they have not disclosed what it’s for. It’s only a sign that there is some undisclosed business that will hurt the consumer and only benefit iCANN and Verisign. Please put a stop NOW to this proposed rate hike of 10 projected years. Please save accessibility to the internet. Thank you.

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

Feb. 11, 2020

I am a small business owner and registrant of a .com domain name that is vital to my small businesses success. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. The internet is supposed to be a place to allow people to come together and democratize voices, not filter out voices to only those that can afford the luxury. 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. In our modern society, the public interest is regular being railed against by corporations, lobbyists, and special interest groups. Please stand up and support the public interest (fulfill your role and protect against corporate greed). Ryan Richmond, Virginia United States
