I'm an individual who owns a personal .com site and don't like the idea of enabling wholesale price increases. The cost of my domain name is high enough as it is! Thank you.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please do not allow the amendment

I have a hobby website that I do not make money on. I continue the .com because maybe, someday, I will make some money on it. I already pay too much per year to justify keeping it. If the costs go up significantly, I won’t be willing to continue paying for it. I am certain there are a great many people in the same situation.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Profiteering changes
by Robert McGowan Feb. 10, 2020

I’d like to suggest that forcing up the price of domain registration for nothing other than profit and a dubious $20 million backhander is unethical and anti competitive. Yet again the end user pays for big business profits and the squeezing out of competitors. Robert McGowan

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] AGAINST .COM PRICE INCREASE
by Stephanie Dilley Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I am a registrant of several .com domain names and I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. The price increase will benefit only Verisign. Verisign is the manager of the .COM Registry but should not have control over the price. Please allow ICANN to govern the domain name system. Thanks, Stephanie

Wanted to voice my opinion on the matter that would likely lead to increase in domain pricing in the future.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .COM top-level-domain (TLD). Amendment
by Atif Majeed Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I don’t support ICANN amendment. I strongly condemn the increase. It‘ll only increase the extra burden on small and startup businesses. I request you please not to increase the price of .COM top-level-domain (TLD). Thanks Atif

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

Feb. 10, 2020

A great many small businesses rely on the brand they've created using their .com web sites. To raise the prices significantly puts an undue burden on these businesses with no benefit to them being shown. What benefit do the website owners, or users, gain from this type of increase? This seems to be ill-advised without further notice to the community. Thank you, Rich Doty

As a low income disabled individual, I rely heavily on my personal .com domains for many aspects of my life. I've had my domains over a decade now and increasing the price 70% would force me to cut some of them. Please reconsider taking Verisign's money in return for increasing prices for the likes of myself. I doubt big businesses are going to care about these price increases, but they are not the ones most impacted by this. Thanks for reading! -Justin

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Silent Price Hikes?
by John Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Dear ICANN, I am a small online business owner with multiple .com domains, this price hike is very detrimental. It also also allows for unfettered price hikes in the future for all other related domains. How can you allow this to occur without consulting the public? Regards, John
