[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Concern about price increases and transparency
by Tom Engel Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

To Whom It May Concern - I have no problems with slowly increasing prices to support new initiatives. But you occupy a position of power that should reflect transparency in the decision making process - that will ultimately affect millions of domain users. Stop this process as of right now, and start over with full transparency as to the process, discussions and goals. Tom Tom Engel - Principal Consultant Vantage Point HR P.O.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Keep .com domains accessible!
by Elizabeth Marie Smith Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I am deeply disturbed by what I've heard recently about the proposed changes to the ICANN and Verisign contract. The price changes alone are outrageous and will bar millions of people, including families and small businesses, from owning and maintaining their websites. Additionally, allowing Verisign to operate as a registrar is counterproductive and will reduce the quality choices available for registrars on the consumer's end. And finally, what is this $20 million dollars for? Infrastructure? Security? The CEO's pocket? We deserve to know! I understand you've ignored us in the past. Don't do it again. Thank you, E. Smith

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Disapprove of amendment as proposed
by Ryan Acebo Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I disagree with the lack of openness regarding the proposed changes and the intent to tie a closer relationship with Verisign with an uncapped and uncontrolled fee structure over the next 10 years. The .COM registration fees are currently out of control and only getting worse. There’s no evidence that the proposed amendment will promote a stronger DNS solution or promote a healthy marketplace. I’m disheartened by this proposal and others that ICANN are considering (like with .ORG domains) as it seems like there are nefarious decisions being made without public discussion for a global service. This proposal implies that ICANN is resolving its responsibility and giving it to a private company. Vote NO on the amendment. Thank you, Ryan

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] please do not allow COM prices to go up
by Riad S. Wahby Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

My comment is simple: allowing COM prices to increase appears to be a pure money grab. There's no reason these prices should increase---the margins are already very high on domains and costs will be *decreasing*, not increasing, in the future. Taken together with recent (mis)behavior regarding ORG, it's hard to believe this is anything other than corrupt. Please don't do it. -- -=rsw

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please maintain price caps for .com domains
by Lynn C. Loi Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

ICANN was created in part to introduce competition between domain name registrars, and it has enabled everyday people like me to have a chance at creating a small impact on others in the world by sharing our resources and helping them get results. Not maintaining price caps will counter the flourishing of the creators on the internet, and drive more power into the hands of the few. Please reconsider this move and maintain price caps for .com domains. Thank you. Lynn

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

Feb. 10, 2020

To whom it may concern, It is widely viewed and is my personal opinion that this amendment is not in the best interest of the consumers and is in the best interest of a few private corporations. This amendment should, at the very least have more input from the companies and users before it is implemented. David Wible M 850-218-7180 W 510-394-2530 Emerald Water Designs, LLC
