[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .COM Registry Agreement changes
by gayle arnold Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

This message is in response to the call for public comments on the amendments made to the .COM Registry Agreement. This is a very sneaky, unnecessary move. Not only was there zero consultation but the period to comment is too SHORT. People who own their own businesses already have enough extras to pay for. This wont effect large business, this is a direct threat to SMALL business owners. How long until you charge whatever you want, whenever you feel like it? You already own 40% of the internet domains, how much money is going to be enough??? This is a terrible idea and its GOD AWFUL customer service. Sincerely, GA

Hi, This is to share my opinion about the recent radical agreement between ICANN and Verisign. I’m aware of it’s impact in cost amongst other issues that are abound to crop up with this agreement. And I’m upset with this decision of yours. I request you to void the contract and go back to the way things were. ~ Prashant

I am against it. These are digital products that should see price decreases over time ao it makes no sense you're raising prices.

Keep the old .com prices. Am not in favor of the increase as it is an unfair move as we have contracted the old prices years ago. Had you offered the higher prices before, people would have had a chance to choose and build an alternate domain but are now locked with the dot Com TLD. Please be fair to the consumers.

by Viljar Weimann Feb. 11, 2020

Hello, Our organization has been using your services for the domain last 6 years. And we have been satisfied customers. Now e are hearing that you are planning significantly raise - and keep raising - the yearly fee. This will put a large burden to our Small organization which will make us question our participation with you.. We want to express our strong dissatisfaction and unhappiness with this move. Please reconsider.

I own multiple .com domains for business and personal uses ... I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. Philippe Chretien

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] It’s okay if domain registrations are inexpensive
by Keith Silgard Feb. 11, 2020

Hello, I am a strong proponent of a free and open internet. Recent moves to monetize domain registry serve nothing but greed, and the world already has more than enough of that. Similar to pharmaceutical companies exploiting their monopoly-like position to massively inflate pricing of necessary goods, I worry that allowing profit driven entities to control pricing for domain registry will only serve to inflate prices with absolutely no investment in quality to justify it. Further, accepting a sizeable donation in exchange for allowing this reeks of corruption, and only serves to further undermine our collective trust in ICANN’s ability to be an effective steward of essential infrastructure. There is more to this world than profit. You are making short-sighted decisions that have the potential to be destructive and harmful. Please reassess the value of funding your initiatives vs the very real possibility that you’re needlessly harming the greatest thing about domain names—almost anyone can afford to buy one and use it to achieve awesome things. Keith
