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

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear Sirs and Madams, As the Website Administrator (a volunteer position) with a Small local sports league that is in the process of moving to (hopefully) Non Profit status, and as an individual that is looking to create a website for my own creative endeavors, I have concerns that the Proposed Amendment to the .COM Registry Agreement will create not just increases in the initial cost of creating and registering a website, but those increases will be substantial, pricing small Non Profits, and smaller businesses, and individuals, out of being able to establish an internet presence, making it much more difficult to share their information, products, services, ideas, with people trying to find out about those products, services, ideas, and information. If the Internet becomes so cost prohibitive to simply register an domain, because corporations want to insure their largest possible profit margin, it reduces the entrepreneurial esprit de corps that makes the Internet what it is, a place to find that hard to find item, service, or product, that cannot be found locally. Please work to insure the little sites, individuals, small businesses are not priced out of being able to afford having a web presence. Thank you for your time and consideration. -Glenn Siegel Portland Co-ed Soccer

Do not increase .com prices. This will hurt the internet community. .Com's make up 40% of total domains globally.Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] About domain price and contract with Verisign
by Mizanur Rahman Feb. 11, 2020

I have had great respect for ICANN. But now looks like you are priority is making money not the consumer. I strongly oppose the decision to increase the domain price every year. Or you should change your motto to “One World. One Internet. Dollar over Consumer” Thanks

No, I do not like this. You know the reasons why, no need for me to blab on it. Please don't make this about money. You're better and bigger than that. -Jack

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] No .Com Price Increases
by Ruth B Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To Whom It May Concern, I am commenting on the recent changes to the contract between ICANN and Verisign Inc. I am deeply dismayed by the covert manner in which the contract is being modified and the consideration that ICANN is receiving for the modification. It is my understanding that ICANN, a nonprofit organization, will purportedly receive $20 million dollars from Verisign in exchange for allowing Verisign to increase prices for .com domain registration. I find this arrangement very disturbing as do many other registrants, especially in light of ICANN's nonprofit characterization. I urge you to reconsider the propriety of such a contract and to work toward encouraging competition between domain name registrars instead of thwarting competition. Sincerely, Ruth Brissenden, J.D.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] price increases deals
by Rebecca Jaynes Feb. 11, 2020

I object to this example of deals made behind closed doors by the wealthy and their enablers to manipulate resources in order to enrich themselves and in this case, to repress the right of ordinary people to use the internet.

Please do it go through with this deal. It will through all of our business out. We would be forced to use other domains. Please don’t!

I think this is not in the best interest of the public or the internet and it should not be allowed to continue.

I would just like to present the simple fact that these decisions by ICANN has the potential to turn 99% of its customers against it. Thank you.
