Please stop increasing the prices of .com domain names! I’ll have to start dropping domains (I have lots of them) because I can’t afford to keep them all. I’ll keep dropping them if the price continues to go up.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please stop the price increase for .com domains

Hi About 20 years ago I registered Peterbox.com to use as my email address for the next hundred years, even when I switch between email service providers. In those days it was common to use .com for that purpose. With your proposed contract with Verisign, you want to allow steady price increases for the years to come. I feel this is just not fair, because it might force me to change to another domain, which defeats the purpose of having the same email address for a long time. Regards, Peter Huber, Singapore

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

Feb. 11, 2020

I am writing to object to the proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement. As an information professional working in memory institutions and guided by the core principles of librarianship (see American Library Association at http://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/corevalues) I am distressed over the impact on accessibility this change has. The domain names people are most comfortable and familiar with are those that end in .com. This makes them the most accessible domains, and by increasing the cost of a .com domain name, you limit who can afford to own one. This further redistributes accessibility, and with it power, into the hands of the already wealthy and powerful, depriving the common person of the powerful tool the Internet has been. It relegates them to the margins, where their voice is minimized or unheard. Moreover, I am concerned about the conflict of interest inherit in Verisign operating as a domain registrar, especially with the influence Verisign has over domain registration pricing. These are untenable propositions, and I urge you to reject this proposed amendment. Sincerely, Mahogany Lore

It is a hard blow to democracy. They have the opportunity to continue making the Internet more democratic or to privatize it. No to the increase of dominions, yes to freedom and democracy. -- *Julian Calvo*

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] I don't want ICANN's initiative with verisign, this is not proper initiative
by Hernan MB Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10 Verisign agreed to pay ICANN an additional $20 million dollars over five years to support ICANN's domain name system initiatives, without any clarity about how ICANN will spend the money, or who will ensure that the funds are properly spent on domain infrastructure

As a small business owner I provide many .com sites and this would significantly impact my business ad the customers that would also have to absorb the price increases that I would have to pass along.
