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

As everything coming from the State, ICANN is a corrupt monopoly dedicated to control and steal from productive individuals. Not only you don't have any right to increase already disputable fees, but you should not exist at all.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] AGAINST .COM cost increases
by Brian Haney Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

This agreement is 100% against the general public interest and unacceptable. According to this new agreement, Verisign will be allowed to increase the wholesale price to registrars for .COM domains every year for 8 out of the next 10 years, and the increases don't stop there. This will mean that .COM wholesale domain prices can grow by more than 70% over and above current prices over the next decade. The contract also allows for other price increases, which could drive prices up further, ultimately making .COM domains less accessible and more expensive for everybody. Please consider the long reaching ramifications this will have as we wok as a society to make the internet more accessible to more people, this deal will result in fewer people having genuine access because of the financial barriers involved.

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

Feb. 10, 2020

To whom it may concern, This amendment is a ridiculous and blatant misuse of authority clearly meant to line private pockets. As a .com registrant of a non-profit corporation who relies on low and predictable costs to sustain my charitable initiatives this is especially concerning to me and completely unacceptable. In summary: - I am a registrant of a .com domain name. - I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. - 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.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Domain Name Price increase
by B. Ayesha Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Dear Madam, or Sir, I am concerned about this amendment to the Registry Agreement because it will affect, not just me, but any individual who would like their own domain name. I am 100% sure that no corporation will object to the 28% cost increase every six years as they earn money off their domain name and paying almost any amount would be acceptible to them. However, there are a great deal of small businesses (including myself) that would see this as a burden as well as individual users out there that have purchased their own domain name and are using it for personal use, not commercial use. Several of us have multiple domain names, if for no other reason than to protect our own names from being used to run a website. I personally have about 6 that I use to protect myself and my family while also allowing my children to be able to have a domain name that is exclusively theirs. You may also assume that all ".com" domain names are used for, or are supposed to be used for commercial purposes, however, this is not the case today. If this had been defined and enforced from the beginning of the internet, this would be a non-issue, however, to start enforcing it today would cause many many individuals to lose their domains. Yes, there are other top level domains they can move to, however, that doesn't alleviate the fact that they would be losing an asset they had invested much time, money, and resources acquiring. Please keep the annual fee very low or consider a more flexible charging system for the .COM top level domain that will keep it accessible to individuals and small businesses.

This proposal is outrageous. The internet is a utility. it's a public good. Stop treating it as a profit center. Seriously, your jobs are at stake. people may not care about trump but they sure as heck care about internet access and the cost of it. Rick DeShon

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

Feb. 10, 2020

I think it’s tremendously unfair that two entities, Verisign and ICANN, have sole power to establish the cost of registration for .com domains. Domain registrants should know exactly what they’re paying for and for how long. Running a business is hard enough without having to withstand increases based on the whims of two entities.
