[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Maintain Price Caps
by Rogers, James R. Feb. 11, 2020

Please maintain the existing price caps for TLDs. Accepting a "donation" from Verisign in exchange for permitting increased pricing is highly questionable.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] what purpose does this price increase entail?
by Steven Vallarian Feb. 11, 2020

Nothing. Nothing at all. The creation of a cost for an idea is near zero, and the amount already collected for .com is more than plenty. Taking more for no good reason is not a good reason to do so!

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Price Increase
by Elliot Huffman Feb. 11, 2020

Hi Team, I see no reason for a price increase. The current pricing drives around $1,146,800,557.55 (1.1B) in revenue. That is a ton of money. Running a price increase increases it about $80,276,039.03. That is $80 mil! Just in one year without having to help invent a better internet. There is no reason for a price increase as the .com is an ever growing TLD. Just because there was a previous pricing structure doesn't mean that it is the way to go. I vote "no" to the pricing change. The other initiatives to prevent security abuse is fine. Pricing no, security yes. Please amend this to exclude the price change. Revenue should come from an innovation standpoint, not a price increase. Thanks!

This is an atrocity. Shameful price gouging. An embarrassment.

I am a registrant of a .com domain name. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices. The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. Verisign is merely your manager of the .COM Registry – it has no business dictating the price. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest.

A price increase for .COM benefits is unnecessary and provides no additional value to anyone except Verisign. Such policy is harmful to the web and ICANN's mission.
