I also object to Amendment 3. This is an extremely large price increase that will surely hurt 100’s of millions of individuals and small businesses. Joe Gold Business Consulting Director OCCO - Online Consulting Company W:occo1.com E:Joe.Gold@occo1.com P:702-518-0044 - Ext. 700

I am opposed to biased price increases targeting .com domains. If any price increase takes place, it should apply to all domains equally and with significant justification. This is a public service and should not be allowed to profit. The only reason it exists today is based on that understanding. Had I had known back then that the monopoly would be allowed to set arbitrary prices, I would have done my level best to prevent it. Thanks, Thomas Davis

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Not happy

Involvement of Verisign, a for profit corporation, is unacceptable. Like any other commercial endevour, this will result into corporate tyranny and censorship. Will Verisign allow domains such as "verisign-crimes.com"? Will they stop people from getting domain names simply because they disagree with them? Of course they will. Look at what every commercial tech company does. Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. all de-platform people and commit massive acts of censorship. Furthermore, they can increase costs overnight and without the ability of a small business or individual to ever influence them. It creates a monopoly around Verisign. Large corporations couldn't care one bit about the costs of domains because to them, there is no difference between $300,000 and $30. For me, I can no longer compete when I start getting domain names in excess of $10. Our entire business model is centered on offering smaller websites for a few dollars and Verisign's price hikes will make me charge as much as larger companies like GoDaddy, which offer inferior services at higher prices. I realize that people will say that it's only a few dollars increase. But, the problem is that every aspect of my business is increasing and every single one of these increases is killing my business. Technologically speaking, domain services are not rocket science. Domains shouldn't really cost more than $0.01 when the cost is divided amongst all the players. Instead of prices going down, they now are going up! Keanu Lazar

Please keep the costs the same for our domains. It would be wrong to see our fees raised out of control for years. Thanks, Jim Elsmore Nevada Trimpak Inc www.trimpak.com

Dear ICANN Team, I am writing to express my displeasure with your proposed increase in .com domain prices in collaboration with commercial organization Verisign Inc. The internet is a beautiful place that is responsible for bringing some of the poorest people out of poverty with the use of easily accessible domains. This move by your organization will only serve to prevent social mobility and promote further inequality. Please do well to revise this decision. Keeping the internet open and accessible to everyone is paramount. Regards, Bamai Namata Founder & Managing Director Tel: +237 678352269 Maibeta Inc.
