[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] No price increases for .com domains
by Amit A.Kumar Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Hi there, I strongly object to the price increases for .com domains and the poor process by which Verisign and ICANN have made these decisions. The cost of DNS infrastructure has gone down over time and Verisign is incredibly profitable with gross margins >85% - there really is no good reason for these price increases. Amit

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Don't give Verisign free reign to increase .com prices
by Rome Reginelli Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

As someone who owns a few web domains, I am concerned by the recent proposal to change the .com administration contract with Verisign. I understand that freezing the prices of .com domains indefinitely is not reasonable, since inflation is a concern in the long term. However, the proposed terms do not simply index wholesale domain prices to inflation or anything along those lines. To me, it looks like a possibly corrupt move to let Verisign raise rent on internet users in exchange for Verisign shelling out an extra $20 million to ICANN. Please don't give a government-granted monopoly more freedom to raise prices without adequate oversight and reasonable cause. --Rome R.

Hi, I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. Yen-Thanh Le, Vietnam

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Amendment Needs to Include More Stakeholders
by Alec Berger Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

The amendment to your agreement was negotiated with only ICANN and Verisign, and there are many stakeholders who deserve a chance to give their input. Major domain registration companies at a minimum, and the general public as well. I am agains the agreement as it currently stands and strongly suggest you craft it with input from all stakeholders, not just two. Thank you. Alec Berger awbblog(a)gmail.com

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Domain Costs
by Andrew Van Dellen Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Hello - I'm a hobbyist web admin, managing my wife's internet site for her educational coaching business. Teacher's don't make enough money as it is and every cost counts. Increasing any costs .com will jeopardize her efficacy. Don't raise prices for domains, think of the children! Thank you, Andrew Van Dellen

There is really no need for a price increase for .COM domains, it is already expensive for a lot of people, please reconsider!

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Secret back room deals on Domaine increases
by Kris E Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

This secret back room deal you made to increase domain prices over a period of eight years will make it very difficult for the millions of small businesses to afford to keep our domains. I have been in business for 20 years building my .com name recognition. It would be unfair for me to have to give it up because I may no longer be able to afford it. When will big businesses like yours finally put the people first over greed? We the people, the portion of the economy who make up 90% of the GDP are tired of being walked on and left in the cold. Enough is enough! Have you no ethics or dignity left? Karma will catch up with you. ~Kris Elig
