Dear ICANN, Don't abuse your monopoly status. Prices in the technology sphere should go down over time, not up. You may think no one will notice, but we are watching. DON'T DO IT! Regards, David Barkhordari Los Angeles, CA

I’m writing to protest prices increases to .com This is unfair singling out companies for profit. An increase every year for seven years only puts undo pressure on new business development. Please don’t. Belinda McDanel Aspiring business owner

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comment on >com Proposal with Verisign

Don't know if this comment will have any effect on ICAAN decision making, since ICAAN completely ignored the comments on the .org fiasco when 98% of the comments were negative in regards to their actions. This decision to raise prices 7% a year to basically line the pockets of one company is ridiculous. A $1billion dollar revenue increase to up one company's bottom line and ICAAN only gets $20mill out of it? Pretty shady. -- Jack Heape

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement

I do not agree with .com price increase. This is unfair to all their customers. We all know that having a website is not cheap, there are additional costs to having and maintaining a website such as hosting services, security certification, content management systems and time invested. Domains serve the purpose of allowing individuals to share helpful information across the world from their own personalized website at an affordable low price as it is now. Bumping up the price will make it less accessible and more expensive for us. There are many informational websites such as Wikipedia that are free and run off donations to keep the website live, these websites teach us valuable information and to increase the domain price is a slap on their face. It it unclear in the amendment on how the money that Verisign agreed to pay ICANN will be spent and who will ensure the funds are properly spent on domain infrastructure. It is interesting to know that this amendment rose after President Trump has addressed in the State of The Union that we will be implementing high speed internet across the country and in rural areas. So why the price increase when most likely there will be an increase use of website users? It sounds like a greedy business move to me. As a customer, professional web developer and web surfer, this is why I strongly disagree with the .com price increase.

This is a classic government land grab. While big companies won't bat an eye at the price increase, you are going to hurt the smaller individual who increasingly scrapes by in this unfair United States system. Smaller people will be squeezed of their original names, so the big companies can swoop in and feast. Again: big company vs. individual. Lots of people don't want to get super rich, they jusy want to enjoy life with their families. Shame on you! You must live pretty comfortable lives! Adam Goldstein

Raising .com prices won't create a more accessible or open internet.

I am opposed to this amendment. You are narrowing free competition for all. You are driving in the wrong direction. Stand up to big business. Edward S Sparks E-tech Systems
