Over the years I have been holding few domains that are .com registered and renewed every year! For the rate appreciation, we are keeping it and renewing the domains every year! Kindly don't let them Hike prices for the Registrar's as they won't be able to survive for long run!

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .COM Increase

Dear ICANN, It is totally unfair for everyone involved that you made an agreement in secret with VeriSign to make the increase on .COM domains without consulting or incorporating feedback from the ICANN community or Internet users. These price increases will harm Internet users (and the Internet as a whole). There has been No clarity about how ICANN will spend the money, or who will ensure that the funds are properly spent on domain infrastructure. These changes will have significant impact on the Internet for years to come and only ICANN and VeriSign have participated in this decision. This is VERY Wrong and should not be implemented without Internet users having an input, without all of us neither ICANN or VeriSign would be in business. Cordially

2/10/2020 As a independent citizen of planet Earth I hereby insist ICANN and Verisign stop any pending or future .com domain name registrations fee increases. It is shocking to learn ICANN conducted changes in secret behind closed doors. We the citizens of the global internet and planet Earth hereby call out ICANN and Verisign to immediately terminate any pending or future .com domain fee increases. Sincerely, Tony S.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .COM price increases
by 🐙 DILANKA Feb. 11, 2020

Please don't increase the .COM prices over the next decade. ...and please be transparent about how you will be using the $20M you've received from Verisign. Keeping domain names affordable is very important, especially in enabling the common man/woman in pursuing the freedom of commerce and creativity. This is even more important for folks living in developing countries. Please re-consider this. As a lifelong technologist, I wholeheartedly disagree and disapprove with the measure to increase prices on .COM domains etc. —Dilanka

I support Namecheap in keeping the price caps for .org and other legacy TLDs (such as .biz, .asia, and .info).

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Amendment 3
by Loretta Wollering Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I’m SERIOUSLY against the proposed price increase of .COM domains. No one other than Verisign wants 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 and has no business dictating the price. It already makes profits at current price levels in excess of the operating needs to maintain a registry. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the PUBLIC interest. The public has a vested interest in reasonably priced domain registrations to foster innovation on the internet and allow the individuals to maintain a presence on the web. Please maintain proper standards for the public. -Loretta M. Wollering

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comment on Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Monica Heilman Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To Whom It May Concern, I writing with concern about the Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement. While the increased cost may be manageable for corporations, individuals and small businesses will have difficulty shouldering this unexpected cost. Many individuals do not making a profit through their domains. The cost of starting new businesses would also become more prohibitive, particularly as most businesses do not profit in their first few years. This decision would impact thousands of individuals and I urge you to consider the negative impact on individuals and small businesses. I ask that you please reconsider increasing the cost of .com domains. Best, Monica Heilman

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement (".COM Price Increase 2020")
by Supun Budhajeewa Feb. 11, 2020

It is my view that the increasing of .COM domain pricing should not be done for two reasons: 1. Technology costs are going down. If anything, prices should be slashed. 2. Decision to make price changes should not be lead by private entities like Verisign. If we allow this, where will we draw the line? Furthermore, as the maintenance of Internet and all its infrastructure has become a global interest, it should not be governed by entities within a single country. ICANN should be replaced by some organization under the United Nation's purview. To sum it up (TL;DR): I am against the price increase on .COM domain names. -- Supun "Buddy" Budhajeewa https://budhajeewa.com
