[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Protesting Lack of ICANN Transparency
by Rik Sebastian Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

The behind closed doors decisions made by ICANN in relation to Verisign threatens to impose profit-driven transactional costs that will increase the costs of domain holders and with no benefit to the public. These moves clearly appear to have been done strictly to enhance the bottom line of controlling organizations without consulting those these actions effect most, the individuals and businesses of all sizes that hold domain registrations. I oppose these changes and request greater transparency with the public in the future. Thank you, Rik Sebastian

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] DOT COM PRICES ARE HIGH ENOUGH ALREADY
by Paul Kigozi Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Hello ICANN, Do not be the enemy of freedom of access to knowledge and information. This increase in prices of .com sites is a negative contribution to the internet movement. Internet users from developing countries are more comfortable with .com domains and look at the alternatives such as .me or .io as fads. We may appear insignificant in number to you but we account for your untapped markets. Drop this increase, we are not comfortable with it. Regards, Dot com site owner, Kigozi.

Re: [Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Behind Closed-Doors dealing pertaining TAX PAYERS Moneys
by Ralph Montague Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

We are starting a nationwide political campaign to wrestle away the power given to ICANN, including the ability to do behind-closed-doors deals with private companies. The proposed increases to the (dot)COM TLD are simply preposterous and abusive. ICANN unwillingness to disclose the use of these funds (derived from sales to Verisign) indicates highly questionable accounting practices and under-the-table deals. We are asking the State Dept., and the Department of Justice to open an investigation in the all income and compensations received by all members currently working directly or indirectly under the ICANN umbrella.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Oppose .COM price increase
by John Romine Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I am a registrant of .COM domain names. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM. No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices. The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. Verisign is merely your manager of the .COM Registry – it has no business dictating the price. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. John Romine

Sirs, I would like to comment that such an increase as you have decided to dot will harm our businesses, I understand that your costs are going up but the increase you are planning is out of proportion, please consider my opinion. Best, Jesús Hill
