[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] price increases

I am opposed to any and all price increases for domain names. Raising prices on domain names and specifically .coms is unnecessary and simply lines the pockets of a few corrupt individuals at our expense. This is the kind of corruption we witness in Ukraine on a daily basis. Sincerely Calvin Jones +1.970.430.6360 (USA) +380.680.744113 (Ukraine) www.calvinjones.com<http://www.calvinjones.com>

I am a student from developing countries. and I studying at Computer Science and Engineering, for do side project, I need to pay everything on my own and including hosting, server… So the domain name is one of part my project to do and need to pay, you know? Even the current price now is still high for me, but! The price is everyone paying now. So I may not complain with that. And I need to work hard to find money more to pay for this. Please support us, like a student as me. Thank you Regards, Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10

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

To Whom It May Concern. I'd like to express my strong opposition to the recent price increase proposal on .com domains. ICAAN made those changes in secret, without any input or discussion with community and internet users. Verisign's agreement to pay ICAAN 20 million over 5 years of support with potential profit for closer to 400million out of our pockets doesn't inspire any confidence in anyone's best intentions here. -- Thanks, Zvi

I run a small blog website and can't afford to pay anymore than I already do for my .COM domain. I would urge you to reconsider this decision and work with stakeholders on a more acceptable solution.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Don't raise .com prices without clear explanation of the benefits
by Kyle Forgeron Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Businesses rely on the availability of .com domains to test new products and ultimately launch new ventures. Please don't make these domains more expensive and less accessible without a clearly communicated explanation that is subject to the oversight of a public forum. Sincerely, Kyle Forgeron

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] unfair proposal
by Kevin Zaleski Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

The proposed Amendment 3 is not a reasonable increase in fees. There is no reason to permit such an egregious increase when there is no substantial cost of service to justify it. I vehemently oppose it and unfair and monopolistic, it should not be permitted. I pay for dozens of domains names and the potential rate increase is unreasonable, unwarranted, and unacceptable. -- Kevin +1-706-897-4743

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

Feb. 11, 2020

I am a domainer (I invest in domain names as a business). RentMyWeb.com 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. Matthew Schultz ROCKFORD Matthew Schultz Matthew(a)RentMyWeb.com (815)721-5791

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please help keep popular domains cheaper
by maxeem Feb. 11, 2020

ICANN group, Hello. Please help protect free speech and do not increase the prices too highly of domains, for the sake of us independent artists. Business names are one thing, perhaps EVEN ".com" addresses would be reasonable to charge more of businesses. But please consider our positions as artists, reporters and other important cultural creatives that contribute to society's deeper explorations of our understanding of life. My significant other and myself both run several sites in order to maintain our freedom of creation. We make new and popular artforms on several .coms of our own ownership. It is the safest way to protect and control our own information which is our right and also to the benefit of our audience, who appreciates when we are not censored. Since YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Google and the alternatives that offer space (*under their selfish terms*) to domain ownership can and do censor our artwork (and those of our peers) for completely nebulous reasons, it is not fair to also make the only alternative (personal domain ownership) even more expensive and unavailable to the average person than it already is. If you want to become more like China, then I guess that is the path you may be on. And perhaps you cannot help that due to political and monetary pressures. But if you go this route, know that it is a surrender of that which remains of the free world's highest ideals of freedom of thought, expression and speech. And that seems like a terrible mistake for humanity! Please reconsider this decision lest those who pressure you to make it can get away with even more such attacks on society and its well earned freedoms. Warm regards, Maxeem
