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

Feb. 7, 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. David Seelos Los Angeles, California United States

To whom it may concern, I am writing you today to protest the proposed price increase to .COM domains. As a company, Verisign already enjoys some of the highest profit margins in the domain industry. (Or any industry, for that matter.) The company maintains a monopoly on the .COM registry, and incredulously, is proposing a price increase as its costs of operation are actually going *down!* (This contention is bolstered by the many other registrars who maintain that, given an opportunity, they can run the .COM registry at much lower costs.) As if to add insult to injury, this is a company that is supposed to be operating in the public interest. All parties would agree, with the possible exception of Verisign themselves, that the burden of a .COM price increase at this time on individuals and small business would most decidedly NOT be in their best interests. For all the reasons noted above, I urge that the proposed amendment be rejected. Sincerely, Marty Santa Monica, CA

I have been a domainer (I invest in domain names as a business) for over 20 years and I routinely sell domain names on the secondary market. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains because it would hurt people like myself from being able to sustain our business in the domain industry. The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified for .COM domains and increasing the price would further cut into the domain registries profits (which are small now). Also, much of our business involves websites using .COM domains and with if the cost rises so will our expenses which will hurt our efficiency and profitability. Verisign is merely your manager of the .COM Registry and should not be able to dictate the price for .COM domains. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest so please do not allow these greedy rake hikes which will further cripple the domain industry.
