There is no real reason to raise the price of .com TLDs. Please do the internet the favor and respect the rest of the citizens of the internet. Thanks, David

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] OUTRAGEOUS move for the community ! STOP THE NEW DEAL
by Younes AL HYAR Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hello, I just learned that ICANN concluded a new deal that will spike the .COM domains prices in next weeks. I hereby protest against this policy and support the cancellation of this new deal. Internet should be accessible and affordable for new and growing entrepreneurs no matter where they are. Please hear our voices, and be reasonable, we want Internet to be a free and safe place, not a business held by a little minority. Thank you !

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

Feb. 11, 2020

As a small business owner that provides web hosting among my services I am opposed to this amendment. This kind of agreement made in secrecy to allow for dramatic price increases by a monopoly holder is reprehensible. This is now how a free and open Internet should be run.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Deny VeriSign Deal
by Michael Brodt Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Greetings, I have been using the internet basically since its introduction to the public. The value it has brought is through the democratization of knowledge, information, and more. If there is one thing that history has taught us is that the moment one person, one company, one organization, to claim too much control, too much power, that democratization is, at best, put in jeopardy. By enabling VeriSign to have such control... and the ability to increase prices as they see fit... they become a limiting factor to those of us who which to have a site with a .COM domain. I have such a site. I don’t make money from it, but it is a way for me to share my work, my passion, my dreams, with others. Unlike in the old days, we have to by a number of domains just to protect ourselves and our identity. If such prices were enacted, I could be priced out of owning some or all of those domains. Controls that limit such actions must be implemented. This deal should not happen. ICANN has a responsibility to all of us in keeping the Internet open and accessible to everyone who wants to have a website. In this case, by not making this deal, and by putting protections in place to prevent such deals and such moves to gain unfair control over the Internet. Regards, Michael Brodt

Dear Mr. Namazi, I don’t believe there is any justification for a price increase. Any approval of Verisign price increases will represent the complete failure of ICANN to fulfil its mandate with regards to .COM. Regards, Donna Mulvenna

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Domain name increase
by Joseph Mulhern Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I am a registrant of a .com domain name. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. Verisign is has a monopoly on .com registrations. It is an unfair abuse of power for the price to go up so much when the actual cost of providing the service continues to decline.

by Sandeep A Nair Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear Sir/Madam, This amendment should never have existed. This would affect the world in many ways. Verisign being allowed to increase prices and also being allowed to register domains means the could be Anti competitive practices that might come up. Please do not go ahead with the proposal. Thanks and Regards, Sandeep A Nair
