[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] we are opposed to the proposed new contract with Verisign
by Eric Freund Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hello people at ICANN, Hopefully you will not ignore our complaints and concerns, as you have done in the past, and you will listen to us this time. We are the people and companies most effected by the contract changes that you are proposing between you and Verisign. Your proposed new contract will result in higher prices over many years, plus it will hurt competition in the domain registrar space. Please listen to us this time, and do not go through with the proposed contract. Thank you.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Completely unacceptable Amendment
by Ali Khademi Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear ICANN, Your organization is supposed to be finding solutions to protect small businesses and individuals while finding initiatives to expand and protect. By the information I have received from my domain registrant NameCheap, looks like your organization is taking a totally different path, something we have witnessed in other sectors as well. There is no objection to new partnerships or marketing strategies but I think when it comes to decision making, the whole community and individuals should be considered first. Regards, Ali Khademi

I do NOT support the Verisign agreement. This will only make DNS more complex and more expensive. VR, N

I'm writing to encourage a "no" vote on this new fee structure. These increases will forever change and diminish free exchange of ideas and reduce internet commerce forever. Doug Kolb

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comment for Amendment 3
by Jack McLellan Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To whom it may concern, I don't believe that an initiative to improve DNS security will be worth the price of .COM price increases and increased market power for Verisign. It is dangerous to give so much power to a single company, given the importance of the .COM TLD to the internet as a whole. This move will not benefit consumers and should be seriously reconsidered. ICANN should not consider stability and security to be the entirety of its mission, but accessibility and accountability as well. Thank you for considering my comment.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Price Increase?
by Gregory Lopeman Feb. 11, 2020

The US should never have made you autonomous. It was only a matter of time before your globals shake down of the world started. I think it's rediculas that something you don't need any money to maintain is now having its price increased. I'm writing every congressman and senator in the US to demain they userp your authority and take control back. DO NOT RAISE PRICES!!! Greg

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Totally against!
by Marcos Codas Feb. 11, 2020

The proposed changes are not only a travesty in terms of cost, but also in how they undermine continued efforts to prevent technological monopolies. How can the entity in charge of domains be a registrar itself? How can you increase the price of domains without any external input? How can you receive further funding from verisign without explaining properly why, or what it'll be used for? This is a complete and utter misuse and abuse of the power monopoly you hold over TLDs and it will have tremendous impact on millions, particularly those of US in developing economies. You are not above considering external feedback. You are not above considering the impact of your decision. You are not above being held accountable for receiving funds seemingly in exchange for preferential treatment. The proposed changes and their unilaterally convenience go against the very core beliefs that started the world wide web. You are increasing your monopoly instead of ensuring accessibility. It's disgraceful.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Disagreement
by Trevor Carson Feb. 11, 2020

I strongly disagree with the proposal to increase the cost of a com domain over a 10 year period. I think that without a clear understanding of how this extra money is being spent, and who is benefiting from this, it is not right to increase the price, therefore making it harder for more people to access com domains.
