[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Domain price increases
by Ira Hsu Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Dear ICANN, Please do not allow Verisign to increase wholesale prices to registrars. I can hardly afford to register my own domain plus hosting services to maintain my own website. Allowing increased prices would shut down a lot of small website operators, meaning much of the internet's websites would go down simply because of cost. I also disagree with Verisign being allowed to become a domain registrar, this is an anti-competitive practice. Making these changes that benefit Verisign while recieving a $20 million kick-back is not right for the public and is extremely damaging to website owners like myself. Thank you, Ira

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by icann＠pixelrebel.com Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I have owned my domain for years. My email, my identity is tied to this domain. This agreement will make my personal domain registration too expensive to afford and force me to abandon my online identity and brand. This agreement renders registration (which is already expensive considering how small the overhead is for registrars) unattainable for the general public. Something stinks about this deal. Instead of accepting $20 million from Verisign, why not just raise your icann fee? I'd rather pay your organization directly than enrich verisign which has a monopoly on the .com TLD. Regards, Jamie Evans

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Opposed
by Thomas Huzij Feb. 10, 2020

Hello, I am the owner of multiple .com domains and I am opposed to the proposed amendment. It is not in the public interest to raise the price of .com registry services. The price of .com registry services should remain static at $7.85. Thank you, Thomas Huzij

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] opposition to increase in .com costs
by Lauri Elizabeth Feb. 10, 2020

I would like to register my complaint about the proposed changes to the contract with Verisign, Inc. which will increase the cost of .com domains over the next 10 years. I support price controls on domain registration so we can keep the internet affordable to small businesses.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Concern about lack of transparency
by John Nash Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Having been a very early participant in various parts of what became the internet, and a quite early registrant for a domain name (nashinfo.com -- where so many spam msgs arrive that the uottawa email is safer), I am concerned that the amended agreement between ICANN and Verisign could lead to increased prices without any improvement in security or service. I would be much happier if there were more transparency in the projected changes. John C. Nash

Without contractually setting a max price per domain name, there is no reason this should be allowed to pass. Shame on you. Max Kaplan

Hi ICANN, The internet belongs to the world. If you raise the price unilaterally, we will unite to sue you. *Thanks~* *Gilbert*

Hello, It is obvious that this attitude is not morally acceptable. I do not agree with this stance and I would not like users and owners to be penalized with this increase in prices. Thanks a Lot. Mu best regards.
