Dear Sir or Madam, We are using cklaccounting.com. It would be too expensive to use .COM compared with other domains according to the proposal. Br, Weili Du

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please stop increasing the price
by Serhii Matrunchyk Feb. 11, 2020

Hello, we are the internet company which earn money by making websites and helping our customers to grow their business in different ways including .com domain registration. Increasing prices for this domain will harm ours business since we will have to increase prices for our customers as well. A lot of them already have websites in .com zone and it might force them and us to consider other options (which we don't want to) We believe that there are many other context-related zones where prices can vary (and are), but the most common and popular commercial zone should be as cheap as possible to encourage people to use. We would like to vote against the increase and looking forward to your understandanding and cooperation with all companies and businesses like us. Thank you!

Ive been informed about your decision about changing the .com TLD price This is nonsense and it is simply wrong. You should do the opposite and reduce the price, not increase them. Thanks for the time you will be dealing with me Zizzi

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Secret meetings between ICANN and Verisign - Bribery/payoff
by gallagan＠bellsouth.net Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

RE: Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement Secret meetings between ICANN and Verisign are not acceptable. I unilaterally demand that all changes impacting the .COM TLD be in the public. As such, I demand that the current contract amendment being considered be nullified and the process re-started in a transparent and public format. Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement is harmful to the public as it raises the costs associated with the use of the Internet. As I understand, Verisign is paying off ICANN with $20 million to push though it requested price hikes. Bribery, payoffs, and kickbacks are NOT acceptable business practices. Even the perception of bribery, payoffs, and kickbacks should be enough for ICANN to re-start the agreement negotiations in a public and transparent process - otherwise, one will only assume that, indeed, bribery, payoffs, and kickbacks are the norm within ICANN and as such, should immediately brought to a court of law through an exhaustive forensic investigative process. Deeply concerned internet user, Sean Gallagan, Ph.D.

I would like you to know that I do not support increases in prices for .com websites. This is the beginning of making the internet less public and available. Prices should be low and left as a vehicle for exchange affordable to all. Laura Antar, MD, PhD, PLLC 224 N.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] ICANN - Verisign - Disapproval of increased .COM costs -
by matt henkelmann Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To Icann: I received the following from NAMECHEAP - and if correct, wanted to express my disapproval of Verisign's ability to increase the wholesale price to registrars for .COM domains. I do not approve of ICANN making this change in secret and oppose such action with Verisign. "...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. Wholesale registries charge Namecheap a set fee per domain name per year. According to this new agreement, Verisign will be allowed to increase the wholesale price to registrars for .COM domains every year for 8 out of the next 10 years, and the increases don’t stop there. This will mean that .COM wholesale domain prices can grow by more than 70% over and above current prices over the next decade. The contract also allows for other price increases, which could drive prices up further, ultimately making .COM domains less accessible and more expensive for everybody." Please abstain from these contract changes with Verisign as the current arrangement and pricing structure is beneficial to small businesses like mine.
