[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Raising prices is the worst choice, ever.
by Andres Suarez Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Hardware prices go down, data-center prices go down, but someone wants to increase the prices of the .com domains to make a lot of money without working for it, causing a de-facto restriction of access to the network. ICANN should be campaigning for the IPv6 now, instead of maintaining parasites. -- Andres Suarez (need a new name)

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] ICANN / Verisign / .COM Changes
by Douglas Cox Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

The currently proposed changes to .COM domains between ICANN and Verisign that will inevitably lead to large price increases in these domains is extremely concerning and considerably unethical. There appears to be *no* description of how any funds from Verisign will be spent or even why this is necessary. We are currently drafting letters to all our congressmen to investigate how changes like this can be made with absolutely no oversight and asking them to investigate who these changes are actually benefiting. -Douglas & Carrie Cox

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Raised .com prices greatly will affect entrepreneurship
by Tom Sigler Feb. 12, 2020

Web based business have always been a cheap way for people to explore new business ideas. By increasing prices, you will stifle innovation and increase the barrier of entry for new entrepreneurs. I am definitely against raising prices for name registration! -Tom Sigler

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Georg Sievert Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

I am a registrant of a .com domain name. No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices, and ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. I have not received any supporting arguments for a price increase. This proposal conflicts with basic market logic - the price offering domains should approach zero as automation of this service increases.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Nick Tollefson Feb. 12, 2020

Congrats on getting a huge payoff from private parties, no other reason you would do any of this behind closed doors. Its operantly obvious that this serves no one but our cooperate overlords. Gotta love monopolies and unregulated capitalism ruining the internet. Please listen to the people and not the dollar signs that this is a terrible idea that will hurt the joe blows of the world. Best, Nick Tollefson NEWP IT?

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Regarding Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Adrian Del Grosso Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Hello, As a registrant of multiple .COM domains, and as a consultant who deals with .COM domains regularly, I oppose the changes to the pricing Verisign is allowed to charge as fees for registration of .COM domains. Furthermore, the fact that ICANN and Verisign discussed these changes in secret without public involvement (or even just ICANN community involvement) up to this point is appalling. Indeed for a body whose duty is to the public, it is anathema to me. This amendment doesn't pass even a basic sniff test - insufficient justification for the reasoning behind these fee changes has been provided to the public, .COM registrants, or even just the ICANN community. Please reconsider this amendment, as increasing these registration fees will only harm average Americans like myself, my clients, and will only serve to line the pockets of Verisign. The string of other recent ICANN changes, like with the .org price cap, plus this seem to indicate that ICANN is delinquent in its public duty and responsibility to people like myself.

If Verisign would like to stick its neck out pre-election when a liberal pro anti-trust candidate will likely be elected, please feel free.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Don't Increase .com Prices
by tolley.gil Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Please, do not allow this new contract to go through. Increasing the prices of .com domains, or any other online "real estate" will have a crippling effect on free speech over the internet. Right now, cheap domain names allow just about anyone to host a website and express their views. Jacking up the prices, which this new contract does for 8 out of the next 10 years, will only serve as a barrier to poorer people who are trying to own and operate a website. Please, just leave it alone. -Gil Tolley

Hi ICANN, I am Tinh coming from Vietnam. I am a student, I like to buy the domain .com and the other domain that are cheap. In fact, I am a student so I have not much money. I write you to say that I don't agree with your decision that the price the domain .com will rise. Thanks a lots for listening me. I hope that you maintain the price the domain.com or it is possible, I can buy them cheaper. Thanks a lots for your comprehension and your kindness! Best Regard, Nguyen Thi Tinh -- Que le Seigneur vous bénisse et qu'il vous donne sa joie!
