[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] I'm against this Amendment
by Willy Hanza-Ru Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

It is already overpriced fee to make a new domain and by given a lot of power to Verisign you are working against the principle of free market. These increases are unjustified and there isn’t any plan for how the extra money will be used to make the internet safe or even fair for new business. While there considerations aren’t addressed on this amend, I’m opposite of it. Regards, John Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] The internet must remain a resource for the people by the people
by Brian Heston Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

The internet is built on open standards and protocols, of which DNS is one of the original and most basic. There is no place for private back room deals in a service like this. It’s understandable that a service this old needs some updates and maybe even a larger overall, but this must stay open and in the public, not behind closed-door deals. This should be considered akin to a monopoly as a single company has control over the most popular top-level domain. Obviously and technical advances for any top-level domain should apply to all TLDs, so there is no valid reason Verisign and .com domains should be any different than others. Do not support this amendment.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] ICANN proposed fee increases
by John Kelly Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

In view of access to the internet being a public good , I disagree that verisign can push for fee increases without disclosure of costs , because they are developing an anti-competitive business model, and excessive profitmaking, seeing that ICANN is a non-profit corporation to bring maximum freedom of the internet. sincerely John Kelly Sent from Outlook<http://aka.ms/weboutlook>

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] I OPPOSE proposed changes with Verisign!!!
by Yol Swan Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To Whom It May Concern, I am appalled at your attempt to make significant changes to your contract with Verisign, Inc. in regards to .COM domains without consulting internet users or the ICANN community of domain registrars. These changes would significantly increase wholesale prices in the future, which in turn would greatly affect customers like myself who rely on various domains to run a business. The Internet has become an integral aspect of modern life, which means that many people, like me, will renew their domains for many years to come. These proposed changes would make .COM domains less accessible and more expensive for everybody. Furthermore, Verisign already controls almost 80% of the registrar pricing for domain names, so allowing it to operate its own registrar or as a reseller would compete directly with all domain registrars, maximizing its control of domain name pricing to the detriment of other registrars. Fewer registrars would harm competition, choice, and domain name services. I strongly OPPOSE any changes to your contract with Verisign, and hope you will not ignore the unified outrage of the internet community, like you've done in the past, out of arrogance and greed. Sincerely, Yol Swan -- Signature-YS * *<http://amzn.to/1PX77Uk>

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Reg proposed increase of prices for .com domains
by Arvind Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear ICANN, Please do not give Verisign the freedom to increase the prices of .com as proposed in the current amendment! It's completely unnecessary for them to increase the prices: there is no significant operating cost from maintaining the .com registry that warrants such drastic increase. Please do not hand such freedom to them!

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Against .COM price increases
by Flor Vallejo 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. The current rate 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. Florencia Vallejo Argentina

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comment for Price Cap on Dot Com Domain
by Jonathan Gardner Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hello, As someone with .com addresses registered, I wanted to record my comment that I do not support your current proposed move with Verisign. It makes me worry about the future of the internet. I support price controls. I am also deeply concerned about the shady circumstances surrounding a company such as Verisign giving you money in exchange for more control. I support you retaining your independence from this kind of corruption. Thank you, Jonathan Gardner
