[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com domain name regulations
by Catherine M. Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Please do not increase the cost of domain names. There is no stopping it once this happens and it will become expensive those those of us who renew multiple domain names per year. Catherine Maxwell Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Maksym Mykhailenko Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hi The new proposition looks like missed the "bottom up" principle of ICANN, it comes from nowhere while may bring significant change in the pricing of .COM domains. The only beneficiary of such an agreement is “Verisign” - a commercial company. If there are any need of money for improving some parts of the internet like DNS, it can be discussed publicly first, with the broad community.

The registration costs of .COM domains are already significant enough. In order to maintain a free and open internet, where any person can afford a domain, prices should not be raised any higher than they are already. Additionally, no suitable justification was given as to the reasoning behind the ICANN-Verisign deal, leading me to believe that this was another cash-grab attempt.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Price gouging
by Shawn Schmidt Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I’m against this. Raising prices by 70% on over 40% of all domains is a mistake. This is price gouging and largely unnecessary. Please do not let this pass through.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] This change will result to unfair price for domains
by Timothée Mohr Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I think this proposal goes into to wrong way because it will end in an increase of fees to the registrars and then to the customers. Some statistics show it might increase cost to up to 70% in the next 10 years. .com is a great way to make the internet safer as it a great solution to spot serious domains and websites. Almost every big company is using a .com which means more security and less scams. If the fee increase, more and more people will start using less common extensions and this will make the web unsafe because scammers will be harder to spot and unfair because big companies will still own .com domains and small companies will look unsafe because they made a choice based on this wrond decision. Icann does a great job and need money to run its operations but this is not a great way to do it. Keep .Com low so you will keep the web Fair and secure. I don't believe I could afford. Com domains anymore if it raise too much and I don't think I'm the only one.
