[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comments on proposed price changes for .com domains
by Tim Krug Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I am writing to oppose the proposed increase in prices over the coming decade. This secretive process and agreement with Verisign stinks and there is no clarity over how icann will be spending the additional money. This is a straight money grab and doesn't clearly represent a need to increase prices to cover an increase in operating costs. Not only that but the increase will limit the availability of the most popular domains (.com) by significantly increasing prices and making them unaffordable for many. --- -Tim Krug

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Raising fees for .com domains
by njweissman Feb. 11, 2020

I wholeheartedly oppose your proposal to raise the fees for .com domains. The suggestion is both arbitrary and without any reason whatsoever beyond gouging domain owners, as it costs no more to operate a .com domain than it does a domain with any other extension. Please reconsider your proposal. Sincerely, Nina Weissman

I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. ICANN is meant to govern the domain name system in the public interest, and raising the price will hurt the public, and the Internet as a whole. There is no excuse for raising the price of domain names, other than greed, which is a poor excuse. David Gay New York, USA

Increasing the fees for .com domains is an atrocious abuse. The cost is minimal, yet due to corporate greed and a self driven initiative, you intend to change that. This will make it difficult for many people around the world to continue affording their chosen domains. Leave the .com alone.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Rule and contract changes for .COM Registry and domains
by Jade Naaman Feb. 11, 2020

It is wrong and unfair for any sort of monopoly, including a monopoly over who gets to participate in negotiations regarding the .COM domain name. The internet community requires more transparency in how money is spent on infrastructure, and the .COM domain name costs should stay stable and not increase without transparent reasons that are subject to the community’s review and scrutiny. Thank you, Jade Naaman Austin, TX

We're are very upset about this decision ICANN has made with Verisign which will eventually lead to price increase of .com domains.

Hi Support, I like to add my comment about the amendment. The price increase will effectively effects me. I have .COM domains and I do not want an increase in the prices. Please stop the price increase to help domain prices easily paid by simple users. Thanks, Best, Rahmat Ali

There is nothing that will be positive for this amendment aside from the richer getting richer. Please consider those who run websites with low budgets. We already have to deal with companies slurping up prime domain names. Now you want to increase the prices?? Maybe it's time ICANN gives control back to the people!

ICANN is supposed to be a regulatory organization and this is not acting in the best interest of the people. What they can spend it on isn't even stated!
