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

Feb. 11, 2020

I would like to add my comments to the Proposed Amendment referenced above. I am concerned that ICANN is allowing Verisign to operate as a domain registrar, which will harm competition from other registrars. I am also unhappy with the proposed price increases, which could allow for enormous price hikes to .com domains in the next decade. Websites are now a vital part of business/life, and the potential to have web addresses become excessively expensive is of concern. Please consider the input from users and other domain registrars before proceeding with the proposed amendment. Thank you, Alison

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Displeasure on planned hike of .com Domain names.
by Ndubuisi Onyemenam Feb. 11, 2020

I wish to use this medium to state my displeasure on the planned increase in the price of .com domains. .com domains have helped people express themselves and this planned hike can be likened to plans to curb expression by hiking up fees!

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Utterly shameful move

This is utterly shameful move by the ICANN that they have taken such a big step without even discussion with the ICANN community and other countries where such moves are unethical as per the law of the lands.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Against the Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement

We have to ban this proposal because it will do nothing good for public but just enhance the the benefit of Verisign. We should review the exclusive right of .COM domains for Verisign carefully.

This will discourage our. Com domains, we expect things to be cheaper since more people are getting online. We in developing countries should be able to afford having a website. We already got expenses on SSL, now you are introducing this. Absolutely not acceptable. Sent from my Huawei Mobile

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

Hi there, my name is Danielle Vernelson, and I'm the owner of several .com domains. I've also resold several domains to clients as a web designer. I would like to strongly protest the fact that Verisign will be allowed to increase the wholesale price to registrars for .COM domains every year for 8 out of the next 10 years. This seems ridiculous and totally unnecessary. Currently, I and my clients pay about $10 per year for their domains, and more for hosting. I see no reason why this should increase, since we aren't getting much out of domain registration except to have access to that name. Increasing the cost would be inappropriate, because it isn't representative of what a domain is worth. In addition, it would keep people from being able to easily and cheaply put up websites, which is something that local businesses depend on. To me, it sounds like dirty dealing, since in return, Version will be paying ICANN an additional $20 million dollars over five years to support your domain name system initiatives, without any clarity about how you will spend the money, or who will ensure that the funds are properly spent on domain infrastructure. All of this seems very unnecessary, and like a scheme to get rich at any cost. Please instead, keep things simple, and keep providing affordable domains to small (and large) businesses. Thank you, Danielle

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Increase in our .com address
by Sharon Hudemka Feb. 11, 2020

Alongside these contract changes, 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. I am agains you allowing increases in our .com address. It was/is an international free registration. Why are you doing this? So you receive additional $20million and we get to pay Very unfair for small companies. Also there is to ceiling put on this increase. Consider what you are doing to all the small companies in the world. It’ll cost us! Sharon Hudemka Sent from my iPad
