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

I read with great dismay that the Proposed Amendment 3to the .COM Registry is on the table. ICANN serves a very broad purpose. But its primary purpose, as a not-for-profit organization, is to serve the public. One way it can do so is by being open and transparent. The proposed rate increase agreement with Verisign appears not to have been negotiated in such a manner. I question why it is even being proposed. If I read correctly, on page 30 of the 2020 Cash Flow Synopsis, it appears ICANN will have $455.6M in reserve funds. With this amount of cash available, the equivalent of three years' operating funds without any additional annual income, why is it necessary to proceed with the Verisign agreement? The term 'Internet For All' had broad meaning. The assignment and management of internet domain names is no small task. On your part trust and integrity must set a high standard. I hope you will reconsider Amendment 3. Yours truly, Carl Carl Highland, President Purple Coyote, Inc. 509-681-4444 carl(a)thepurplecoyote.com

I am very opposed to raising prices on domain names. Verisign paying $20 million to get registration rights is highly suspicious. Why? They have announced they will raise prices on domains AND they will become a domain registrar, reaping millions of extra dollars. The internet has grown because of little regulation. The more there are, the worse it is for everyone: web owners and consumers! john sacco 2109 Oak Park Rd. Rock Hill, SC 29730

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Bad news!!
by Abdullah Alawa Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear ICAAN's I'm sadly received the bad news about the agreement between you and Verisign inc. As someone who worked for 12 years in web development and web solutions field, I can say without any doubts that this agreement would have a bad influence on the industry and you as an organisation on long-terms. I hope you reconsider and cancel this contract. In addition to respecting and considering the community opinions and voices in your future agreements. I hope you do the right thing. Thank you and have my best regards. Abdullah.

I'm not in favor of allowing a series of price increases to .com domains. Doing so will have a chilling effect on small players and small business. Mary Weaver 1201 Sundew Rd Knoxville, TN 37914 -- --------------------- Mary C. Weaver marymezzo(a)gmail.com 865-437-8620

Dear Sir or Madam, I heard that the price of .COM will increase significantly. Please reconsider hearing our voices not to increase that much. We are a small business that is already struggling. With this increase will affect our business bottom line and other million of people. I hope you will reconsider it again. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. regards, Mike

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please don’t increase the fees for .com
by Kinya McDowell Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Domain name fees are costly enough. Every business requires a domain name. This should be a price that everyone can afford. If the fees increase over the next 10 years I may have to cancel my domain which will a loss of business. Thank you for your time.
