[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Amendment No. 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Dipl.-Ing. Florian Fuessl Feb. 13, 2020

Feb. 13, 2020

Dear ICANN, Reviewing the proposed amendment No. 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement I strongly oppose any planned steps moving away from the current status. The .COM TLD is the major DNS TLD used worldwide and ICANN should, therefore, abandon any attempts of Verisign to raise the income of TLD operator related earnings for the .COM TLD with no benefits for the DNS user base. If ICANN is not able to renew the existing price binding for upcoming periods for legal reasons I would love to see open competitive biddings for fixed periods for this major .COM TLD. Best regards Florian Fuessl — Dip.-Ing. Florian Fuessl Lerchenauer Str. 12b 80809 Munich Germany 📞: +1 (858) 564-4001 📧: ff(a)ffuessl.com

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Amendment 3
by Josh Hyde Feb. 13, 2020

Feb. 13, 2020

As owner and operator of a small web hosting business who purchases domains for resale, I'm against the proposed changes in Amendment 3. Raising the prices of .COM domains may be a small thing, but being able to offer my clients low prices is part of my business model and if the prices go up I'll be forced to charge them more in order to keep costs down. If the costs are to increase as proposed, I fear this will impact not only my business but the businesses of others who rely on cost-effective domains. Please reconsider making these changes. Regards, Josh Hyde

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comment about Amendment 3 .COM Registry Agreement
by Trevor Suarez Feb. 13, 2020

Feb. 13, 2020

To who it may concern, The .COM is the default domain ending in the USA and many consumers in America want to keep it that way. My name is Trevor Suarez and I am a Software Engineering student at the Milwaukee School of Engineering. On my spare time, I run a technology consultant company, which many of my customers are older friends and family who are somewhat technology illiterate. My job is to assist and educate these individuals about anything related to technology. I know there are many technology illiterate people in this country, many of which have gotten used to the .COM domain ending. The proposed amendment will increase prices of the .COM domain over the next few years. This will create two problems: 1. Companies and individuals will begin registering domains with odd endings, such as .pizza or .coffee for instance. This will cause confusion to many people. Take my clients as an audience which will be confused by all the domain endings. I understand the odd domain endings currently exist on the internet, but think of how common they will become. 2. It will increase the price to create using the internet. I own two domains myself, simply because it is a cost friendly. The internet is supposed to be a place where all people of all backgrounds can come and share ideas and information. Increasing domain registrant pricing will eventually be reflected in consumer pricing of simply using the internet. Please consider how the price hikes of the .COM ending will influence the price of using the internet, and other influences on the everyday American consumer. Sincerely, Trevor Suarez

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Keep domains affordable for the home and small business!
by Cory Robinson Feb. 13, 2020

It’s not fair to small and home based businesses including hobbyists, free content producers, not-for-profit websites, etc. - raise rates for big business, not the small ones.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Bad idea, I will have to eventually give up half of the 300+ domains I manage
by Lewis Perdue Feb. 13, 2020

Feb. 13, 2020

Bad idea, I will have to give up half of the 300+ domains I own. This will be a zero sum situation since I will let domains expire to keep my expenses even, Lewis Perdue, 811 W.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] movement and growth of the domain
by Mauricio Aranzazu Feb. 13, 2020

Feb. 13, 2020

The news about the increases and the management of the domains is impressive, really an increase of such a large proportion will not help entrepreneurship or the digital movement, what will happen in the future will be that large companies will be the ones who handle all domains and enterprises cannot pay and maintain their domain. They should reconsider the rising cost of domains and could be managed according to the movement and growth of the domain. Thank you and I hope that all entrepreneurs are heard.

by Kevin Aguirre Feb. 13, 2020

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. Kevin Aguire Modesto, California United States Sent from Mail for Windows 10
