Stop ripping off consumers and wholesale registrars. This is not the way forward.

These shady behind-closed-door deals benefit nobody but your pockets. Kindly reverse this current agreement and make the process more opens and, you know, democratic. Or are you guys just another bunch of Trump cronies out for yourselves and screw everyone else?!?

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] No to price increase

This decision to raise prices of .com domains is not reasonable. The low price has helped the common people so much over the years and we should keep it as low as possible. I'd support reducing the cost even further, not increase a penny. - Satish

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] I oppose this amendment

As a registrant of several .com domains, I am against seeing the price of .COM domains increase. If Verisign is no longer willing to manage the .COM registry at the current rate, perhaps there are other companies that would jump at the chance for that revenue stream.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com fee increases
by Tina Mancini Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

While I understand that in business there are always cost increases I feel that ANY basically unilateral “license” to increase fees across the board, without any sort of clarity of what is to come is grossly unfair. Any “business” as large as the internet and “.com” needs to be transparent and are accountable to their customers, not to their own deep pockets. You need to let owners of the .com urls know what to expect in the coming years, rather than letting us build out sites and our presence only to potentially be outpriced by large cost increases.

We are against the price increase! It hurts the online business, and specifically the COM domains. We are AGAINST such move, in 2011, the COM price was 8$, now 14$ + global inflation! Internet is an information platform not a meat market, get over it!

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Opposed to .com price increase
by John Cooper Feb. 10, 2020

I am a registrant of several .com domain names. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. No one other than Verisign want 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 – it has no business dictating the price. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. John Cooper San Ramon, CA United States

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Against new contract with Verisign
by Chris and Sandy Boothe Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I am extremely opposed to the changes to the contract between ICANN and Verisign, particularly as it pertains to .com domains, of which our company has many. 7% increase per year is too high. Please explain exactly what ICANN will do with the extra $20 million ICANN will receive from these price increases. It is not fair for Verisign to operate its own registrar and what would prevent Verisign from reselling .com domains through another registrar? Please scrap the above parts of the new contract.
