To whom this may concern: I already pay over $235 in yearly domain bills, please do not raise them. I can hardly keep up with them as it is. Thank you

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Mike de Sousa Feb. 7, 2020

Hi, I am a registrant of many .com domain names. I do not however use these for commercial gain, but offer my publications freely, for example The Profit of Art: www.theprofitofart.com I wish to state my position as against the proposed price increase to .com domains as this would reduce the diversity of websites, especially those that are offered as a service for the Internet community. Kind Regards, Mike de Sousa www.mikedesousa.com Oakley, Basingstoke, England. United Kingdom.

I'm a registrant of hundreds of domains, most of them are .com. I'm opposed to the proposed price increase for Verisign. Their costs are continually reduced with scale and their profits are generous - to say the least. The public interest, which is supposed to govern ICANN's choices, is not served by increasing the profits of a company that has a monopoly on the most valued domain extension. Do your job and serve the public. Rob McClinton

I am a domainer (I invest in domain names as a business) or am associated with the secondary market. 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] Proposed change to RA re:price cap increase for dotcom domains
by eric＠pnxdigital.com Feb. 7, 2020

Feb. 7, 2020

The proposed change is obvious nonsense, and should be rejected immediately. Obviously when this was first announced very obvious and reasonable arguments against it were made, and yet the proposal persists. Does anyone’s opinion matter regarding this? It would seem not, but regardless I will restate the reasons why the proposal is a terrible idea. This increase will stifle innovation, and serve only to rip the internet from the hands of the people and give control of it to the wealthy few. The proposed price change serves only to increase corporate control over the internet. The facetious “remedy” allowing registrants to pre-buy registrations up to 10 years in advance is absurd and does nothing to address the problem created by the proposed increase. Eric

It is an unfair abuse of power for the price to go up so much when the actual cost of providing the service continues to decline. Jason Banks SONORA

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Price increases
by Dan Mounce Feb. 7, 2020

Feb. 7, 2020

Hello It is important to keep pricing low so that the public has equal access to domains. To increase pricing will further limit individuals from having access and will create an environment that is unfair to the average citizen. I am against any price increases as that will be unfair to common Americans. Thanks, Dan Mounce dlmounce(a)gmail.com 519 Shambley Rd Mebane, NC 27302 336.736.2757 If you have an urgent need please indicate so in an email. I will do my best to respond quickly.
