[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com negative - corruption?

I’m against you raising the prices of a service I purchased and have set my business up to, without this perspective. NO to .com price raises You will probably force users to leave your way of doing business and simply find other systems. disturbing to see ICANN entering into an arrangement under which the other party will be given permission to increase prices for the .COM domain, and ICANN will receive $20m from that party.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] please stop this

I must say i am strongly against this none sense price increase, this will hurt a lot of people, your company already wins a lot of money, making a price increase will hurt all my business and also people will stop using .com domains, this is a very bad idea, .com domains will end up losing their perceived value, on the long run, your company might end up losing more money than what it wins now, If you want win more money, make it cheaper so more people use it, or keep the same price, its common sense, best regards -- Usando el cliente de correo de Opera: http://www.opera.com/mail/

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] REVERSE THIS DECISION NOW: Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by ayo ayeni Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Last month, ICANN, the organization that oversees domain names, announced significant changes to the contract it has with Verisign, Inc. who operate the .COM top-level-domain (TLD). ICANN 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 price increases that will harm our customers (and the Internet as a whole). This is a crucial time to raise our voices given that .COM domains make up 40% of all registered domain names online. Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Oppose .com price increases
by Mike Hayden Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear ICANN, you cannot allow VERISIGN to be able to increase prices on .COM domains (or any .ORG OR .NET). The internet must remain affordable for small businesses and individuals. The proposed 8 price hikes over the next decade is plain wrong and unduly harms those already struggling to compete in a global market. Holding the line against price hikes is essential. Please do not allow this.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Against the proposed price increase
by Ma Fr Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

These changes will have significant impact on the Internet for years to come, and only ICANN and Verisign have participated in this decision which is not okay. How is ICANN going to spend the $20 million it is going to receive from Verisign and who will ensure that the funds are properly spent on domain infrastructure?

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Regarding proposed amendment to .com registry
by Fernando Del Rey Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

In regards to Amendment 3 to the .com registry there is some confusion regarding pricing of these domains. This amendment makes it possible (in fact probable) that .com yearly registration prices will increase not due to market pressure (popular domain) but arbitrarily at the root without explanation of why this price increases are necessary. Please help in understanding why any price increase at this level is necessary and if it is more language that caps increases tied to the need (some cost) and restrictions on increasing pricing to the same domain holder would be welcome.

I am concerned about the price rise. This will effect us badly. I am not also sure how this will work out for the betterment of the community. These ammendment should be open and public with the approval of the internet community and not behind the closed doors. The intention does not seems clear to me and how will this be for the betterment of internet as icann should be operating and working for the betterment and regulating the pricing.
