[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Raising .com prices
by lancej＠guerillastocktrading.com Feb. 11, 2020

Please don't raise .com domain registration prices. Right now, almost anyone can afford a domain name and to put up a website. Raising prices reduces the capability which is the very reason the internet has become as popular as it is. Ordinary folks provide 75% of all the content on the Internet and make using the internet valuable and fun. Raising prices for .com domain registration would only serve to benefit corporations at the expense of common folks who would have increasingly difficult time at registering domains the more prices rises. Please keep .com registrations affordable for everyone. Thank you for your consideration and time. - Lance Jepsen

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Changes in the contract with Verisign
by Pedro Fabião Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear ICCAN, I want to express my deep preoccupation for the changes to the contract you have with Verisign, Inc. You’ve made these changes in secret, without consulting or incorporating feedback from the ICANN community or Internet users. Although ICANN has a history of making similar deals behind closed doors, and also of ignoring unified opposition against such action, we are focused on leading the fight against big price increases that will harm .COM domain users (and the Internet as a whole), making .COM domains less accessible and more expensive for everybody. This will directly attack the democratic access of the internet and owning a domain, all for an additional $20 million dollars over five years Verisign agreed to pay ICANN to support its 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 urge you to change this decision, as like me a lot of .COM domain holders will abandon this domain and we will all lose with this decision, done for a short profit of a small number of people! Looking forward hearing your answer on this, Pedro Pinto

You already make a lot of money from the .com domain. Don't mess with small businesses because they will be affected the most. Thank you!

Please do not increase .com prices. This will make it harder and harder for people to run their businesses and protect their intelectual property. Thank you Taidgh

Re: [Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Vipul Seth Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I strongly oppose Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement. These are my concerns with this new agreement: 1. Verisign will be allowed to increase the wholesale price to registrars for .COM domains every year for 8 out of the next 10 years which means that .COM wholesale domain prices can grow by more than 70% over and above current prices over the next decade 2. This agreement also allows for other price increases, which could drive prices up further, making .COM domains out of reach of general public 3. As I understand, this agreement is to generate a whopping $20 million dollars over five years to support ICANN's domain name system initiatives. But there is no clarity about how ICANN will spend the money, or who will ensure that the funds are properly spent on domain infrastructure 4. I am very concerned that given the significant impact of these price increases on the Internet for years to come, only ICANN and Verisign have participated in this decision Thanks, Vipul Seth

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] OPPOSED TO RAISING PRICES
by Shawn Allen Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To whom it may concern, I am opposed to the inflation of prices in regards to the .com domains. This raise will further push small business to leave a web platform and utilize services such as Facebook and Instagram exclusively. Shawn Allen
