[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] COM has no specific need for price increases
by Sam Newbold Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

.com is the largest registry and thus benefits from the largest economies of scale. If there is a need of price increases it should be the registry to need such a price increase. Thank you, Sam Newbold

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Why
by Geoff Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

If allowing .COM price increases (or any TLD price increases for that matter) are so important, I would love to see some reasoning for it. Solid facts. The advancement of technology and the internet structure as a whole should allow us to CUT prices, not raise them. How can ANY business in ANY industry be able to cut it’s prices when more of their products are ordered, but in this scenario it sounds like it’s the complete opposite? Pretty sure price rigging is illegal for a reason… Until there are solid facts as to why prices should be raised, I am AGAINST raising .COM prices. It will only prevent more people from purchasing them and to look at alternate options (and there’s plenty). -Geoff

To whom it may concern, I am strongly opposed to the proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement, due to the fact that it will raise the price for .COM Registry Services. Sincerey, Sergey Goldgaber

Hi, I would like to voice my opposition to Proposed Amendment 3. The current rate is more than fair for the registration of a .COM url, the price of domains should always be kept low in the public interest especially when it is a monopoly like is the case for .COM domains. Kind regards Sean

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Don’t increase .com prices
by Carie Garrett Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Please don’t increase .com prices. As a small business owner we feel every price increase in our family business. We want to be able to keep the domain name that we have spent years building as our small business home on the web. Carie Garrett

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Wholesale price increase for .com users
by Mark Ruffing1 Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Hello, I have a band for which I recently purchased a domain name. My resources for an internet presence and marketing are very tight, but I decided to set up a website because it was affordable. I just heard about the possibility that large-scale domain name price increases were approved by ICANN. I want to register my opposition to that initiative. It is unreasonable and will cause an adverse affect on individuals and small businesses, like myself. I ask that you reconsider this strategy and not go forward with these price increases. Thank you. Sincerely, Mark Ruffing Next Life Band

I am a registrar of .com for personal and business use. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices. Verisign is merely your manager of the .COM Registry – it has no business dictating the price. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. Best Regards, Guillermo Lucas

Madam/Sir, here are my two comments: (i) As a registrant of multiple .com domains I am strongly against the proposed price increases. I see no reason why price increases should ever exceed the rate of inflation and even that's somewhat questionable given the singular position Verisign has in the .com TLD ecosystem. (ii) Would ICANN please stop this practice of secret negotiations at the end of which they're trying to shove their "deals" down our throats. I believe we deserve better than that. -- *Virgil Bistriceanu - President and C.T.O.* *theSleepless, Inc. <http://thesleepless.com>* mobile: 847-219-9142 email: virgil(a)thesleepless.com <mailto:virgil@thesleepless.com> profile: LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/bistriceanu/> fax: 312-278-0427 - yes, fax is still around
