[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Marie Kim Feb. 13, 2020

Feb. 13, 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 of $7.85 is already far more than justified. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. Marie Kim Los Angeles, California United States

To whom this may concern, I wish you first off say thank you for all the work that has been done to this point. While I'm not sure what is in the works for the "bigger, better and faster" that 20 million dollars might require (!!) but I want to remind you that you have enabled many more small businesses and independent organizations, in communicating with their audiences. Some of those small entities will not be able to afford (let alone plan for) domain registration increases. This would seem a very unfortunate loss to the online world. Loss of the heartbeat of innovation and keeping it human. If it comes down to it, I can fold up my domain and communicate through a service that can afford to pay whatever reg costs there might be. But each time that happens, it takes a little spark out of the magic of the internet as a whole. Please don't price the little guy, out. With thanks for your consideration! ..jenn lewis Jennifer Lewis Maple Syrup Sound

I am a domainer (I invest in domain names as a business). 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.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] My Opinion on the Proposed .Com Price Increase
by Tracy Palmer Feb. 13, 2020

Feb. 13, 2020

Hello, The increase being proposed is a clear and viable threat to small businesses 31% is high considering most companies will not see growth at this rate, I understand the costs of doing and costs increase but 31% is high especially when you add the cost increases of rent,computer systems,lights,heat and wages to name a few, the cost of starting and running a business is very expensive. I would suggest a 5% increase and 15% total after 3 years is more in line. Tracy Palmer Domain Owner Brooklyn Park, MN 55445

ICANN must understand that the .com gTLD is an asset for everyone, in the public interest and for everyone. Verisign already dominates the domain market making billions and operating 4 of the 7 gTLDs inherited from the United States (.com, .net, .edu (back-end) and .gov (back-end)). Everyone already knows that many ICANN employees are corrupt and that the board is also corrupt and has stolen millions of users, but now is the time to stop ICANN and close this useless organization.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Amendment without discussion?
by Ryan W Feb. 13, 2020

Feb. 13, 2020

When was this decision made and why were domain owners not notified? We are the source of use for these .com domains across the world, so why should we be ignored or ignorant of your decision, simply because you have been given unlimited power over this portion of the global internet? This discussion needs to be made in front of the public as a whole. -Ryan Wise BaseMast Solutions 404-304-2680

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .COM price hike
by Ravi Sekhar Veenam Feb. 13, 2020

Feb. 13, 2020

Greetings... I am a Domain investor and I more than 120 .com domain names registered with me. The proposed price hikes are unjustified to anyone but it is hugely beneficial for Verisign. removing price cap and increasing prices is a very unpopular method and can be factor to leave .com and try other options for millions of domains. ICANN is supposed to think of public interest..in this scenario there is no hint of such thing. you need to act according to public opinion and get back your reputation. Best regards, Ravi sekhar Veenam.

The internet is an open place for everyone, so everyone should be able to afford a domain name. Keep prices fair! Thanks! Chris Kaiser Germany
