[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] My response for the intention of .COM domain price increases
by Roi Av Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hello, If you are going to increase the price of .com domains, then I will not renew them – I will just buy .net or other type and change all my links to point to the new domains. This is the way to react to greediness. Regards, Royi

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Against Verisign dictating prices
by Rod Grove Feb. 11, 2020

I'm a registrant of a few .com domain names. I'm against the proposed price increases to the .com domains. This is going to make owing a .com domain out of reach for ordinary people. Where is ICANN best interest? It should be in for the public's best interest. Unbelievable. Rodney Grove PA , USA

Maybe its time to stop all the back door deals and be upfront and honest with your amendments. These increases are nothing more then a back hand deal where ICANN, once again, sells out the .COM registers in favour of corporate profits. If you can't act in the best interest of the community that you claim to serve, then its time to hand over the responsibility of managing the internet to another association. Brian Ingwersen

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Price caps necessary!
by Laura Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

As a small business owner, it’s important to keep an eye on the various expenses with running a business. This includes running a website, which is a vital part of my business. I am in favor of price caps to help keep domain fees in check. Small business owners don’t need the surprise of a bill that keeps going up in price each year. You will be doing a disservice to the many businesses that have a .com presence in our country, people who are trying to make a living and adding to the economy. Increasing prices will force businesses to get creative with their online presence, which could mean letting go of their websites and finding other, cheaper alternatives. Everyone, including ICANN and Verisign, would lose out then. Sent from my iPhone

There appears to have been a lack of consultation and clarity on this change. I urge you to reconsider the huge impact this will have on small businesses. Regards, Giles Dr Giles Kirby Research Fellow

Any 7% increase on .COM domain is totally unacceptable especially for start ups and small business owners. Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Increased Domain Fees
by Alex Pasternak Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I wanted to let you know that as a multiple domain holder I am strongly OPPOSED to increases in .COM fee structure that you're proposing. The Internet is a public good, and you're using Verisign's investment as an an opportunity to make additional money, without providing anything of value in return to us as users. Please abandon this plan, and be more reasonable in your financial and infrastructure plans. Thank you, – Alex Pasternak
