[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com increase
by Stephanie Gandy Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

To whom it may concern, I am opposed to the price increase on .com domains. Having a .com allows website owners to get visitors to their sites more easily. Making .coms a premium extension will create an unbalanced lanscape where smaller buisnesses and projects will be unable to compete at the same level as bigger companies and projects thus creating digital classes. The internet is the greatest thing that has allowed small and medium businesses to thrive. I urge you to please take this into consideration. Thank you

Hi, Namecheap.com tells me that you are looking to raise domain renewal rates, possibly by 70% or more over the next ten years. They also tell me that Verisign agreed to pay you $20 million dollars so that they could raise prices as they desire. Something smells here I wonder if president Trump could do anything about this? Does the news know about this? Please DO NOT DO IT! The note from Namecheap is shown below. Thank you. Michael Kleypas <http://www.xlhelp.com/> www.XLHELP.com Namecheap <https://mktg.namecheap.com/master/marketing/standard/logo/Namecheap-Logo_wt _tsp_344x64px.png> Help Us Avoid .COM Price Increases Hi there! We have important information to share with you that will affect the price of your .COM domains. What's happening? Last month, ICANN, the organization that oversees domain names, announced significant changes to the contract it has with Verisign, Inc. who operate the .COM top-level-domain (TLD). ICANN made these changes in secret, without consulting or incorporating feedback from the ICANN community or Internet users. Although ICANN has a history of making similar deals behind closed doors, and also of ignoring unified opposition against such action, we are focused on leading the fight against price increases that will harm our customers (and the Internet as a whole). This is a crucial time to raise our voices given that .COM domains make up 40% of all registered domain names online. What does this change mean? Wholesale registries charge Namecheap a set fee per domain name per year. 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 dont 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. Why is ICANN doing this? Alongside these contract changes, Verisign agreed to pay ICANN an additional $20 million dollars over five years to support ICANN's domain name system initiatives, without any clarity about how ICANN will spend the money, or who will ensure that the funds are properly spent on domain infrastructure. So, what can you do to help? These changes will have significant impact on the Internet for years to come, and only ICANN and Verisign have participated in this decision. If you want to make sure your voice is heard, let ICANN know how you feel about their recent decision. The Public Comment period is open until February 14, 2020. You can leave your comment on the .COM proposal using ICANN's form. Find Out More

I don't think anyone is opposed to the cost going up if it is necessary. Could you please explain what the cost increase is for and what it will go towards? If even a portion is being pocketed as profit, that is absurd and unjust. I thought the internet was supposed to be about spreading information and knowledge, not trying to get a quick buck. This is not ok. Regards, Ben J.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Domain costs prevent the impoverished from publishing online
by Brad Isbell Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

A domain name is required for meaningfully publishing content online. The barrier to registering a domain name is already high... it requires a credit card, which is difficult or impossible to get for some. Raising the price of a domain makes it even more difficult for the impoverished to participate online. As someone who has been personally affected by this in the past, I'm frustrated that you would propose raising fees. ICANN should reject VeriSign's proposal. Additionally, ICANN should consider providing one free personal domain registration to anyone who wants it, as a way to enable more people to publish online.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3
by Timothy Hood Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

ICANN does not own the internet. ICANN should be accountable to users, registrars and domain owners as well as the public at large. I object to Proposed Amendment 3 on the grounds that it has not been independently audited, provides no accountability for funds collected, nor does it provide a means to ensure costs to domain owners will not rise substantially and could not rise further through the use of loopholes in the proposal. Deals made in secret almost never benefit the public at large. Deals made at arms length and without undue influence and which have been vetted by independent parties are most likely to be fair and balanced. This proposal must be re-routed through a proper auditing process. In case it is not clear by my message, I thoroughly object to this proposed amendment and the process by which it has been made. Sincerely, Timothy Hood .com domain name owner and small business owner

by Meredith Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Hello, I am a registrant of a .com domain name (many .coms in fact.) I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. 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. That means maintaining the domains at an affordable and widely accessible rate. What is the purpose of having ICANN AT LARGE when public interests are not considered in the decision making? The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. Sincerely, M Lucio

I wish to kick against last month's ICANN significant changes to the contract it has with Verisign, Inc. who operate the .COM top-level-domain (TLD). These changes were subjective and did not consider common interests of .COM websites. It will harm us, stifle our business and constrain our online presence. I am not subscribing to lopsided business wiles. Why should ICANN make .COM domains less accessible and more expensive for everybody? It's far from imagination.

As an Internet user and .COM domain holder, please be advised that I am extremely concerned about proposed ICANN changes to your contract with Verisign and how you can spend the .COM fees. These funds should specifically be allocated to domain infrastructure - Make it better, not more expensive. We do need to limit and better yet prevent these fee increases. The Internet is for the public "domain" providing a platform that prevent .COMs from becoming less available and more expensive for everybody. Access should not be a "free for all" money making proposition. Please do keep the Internet accessible to everyone. Mark Torpey 4740 E.

As an entrepreneur and avid user of the internet I protest the deal brokered behind closed doors to increase the prices of .COM over the next decade. The barrier to entry is high enough, don’t make deals to allow for the inflation of prices on the core TLD. Increasing prices will just solidify power in those who currently rent domains and will reduce the innovation from young individuals with limited budgets. .IO pricing is already out of control, don’t let .COM be the next mistake. ——————————— Drew Short Software Engineer e: drew(a)sothr.com p: +1 (651) 285-4565 ———————————

Feb. 10, 2020

I feel this proposed fee hike for .com domain price increases violates the public interest and serves only Verisign. I can see why Verisign is concerned for profit margins considering they had overcharged for YEARS with inflated certificate signing and stifled public protections for privacy and security innovations. Conservatively I personally may have as little as 15-20 domains at any given time. Many friends and associates have many more. 30 to 50% of those domains are .com. Only through dedicated application, focus, testing and research can worthy domains be cultivated and monetized. A lot of time and energy goes into making a domain and business idea profitable. It is a chaotic process and there are no crystal balls. There are a lot of prevalent practices that we struggle with. But to hike domain fees only serves to kill innovation and prevent digital entrepreneurs like myself and others like my associates from successfully participating. All those costs add up real quick and provide a very real barrier to entry. We are only beginning to enter the era of the global digital entrepreneur. We need to be making it easier not harder. If Verisign can't find ways to value-add rather than take advantage of people - they deserve to file Chapter 11. STOP gouging consumers and the people who are working hard every day to make innovation happen!

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com price increases
by Bill Tackett Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Many small companies, small organizations and individuals own .com domains, not just large corporations. Allowing pretty much unfettered price increases for .com domains is going to negatively impact these groups, especially individuals. Needing to increase the cost to support additional and/or updated infrastructure required to manage the.com TLD seems reasonable but giving a for profit third party company the ability to raise the price for 8 years of a 10 year period is ridiculous. Please reconsider the structure of this agreement and limit the aggregate cost increases to something concrete and fair like no more than a 100% price increase spread incrementally over the course of a 10 year period. Thanks for your consideration. Bill Tackett

It is regrettable to hear that an organization so large is willing to risk losing it's broad range of customers because it did not explain how price increases would be carefully monitored and wisely spent. I would like to point out that world-wide organizations reliant on technology, which thought that they were too important to ever lose their customers did indeed die in an instant. Landline phones, vinyl records, cassette tapes, Pan Am, DeLorean: They all thought the world's eyes and investment would stay with them but they ended up with zero customers. I myself have moved away from .COM domains, as of today I only own two out of my previous dozens. Why, have I moved away from .COM: Your future customer's customers aren't interested in ancient technology. And typing in ".com" is ancient.

Keeping prices low understandably will not be in favor of your bottom line, but is that what you're waking up every day for?

I am a domain owner and I oppose the increase in .com price. If ICANN is going to relinquish it's role in pricing oversite, the management of .com should be bid out and not assigned to a single entity with no competitive pricing. In addition, the $20m kickback to fund undisclosed ICANN programs establish a poor practice of "pay to play" when dealing with ICANN. ICANN should be working in a transparent manner in the public interest and not looking to fund itself while allowing a private company to monopolize the registration process and prices.

by John Kitchen Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Hello, I am very disappointed to learn today that ICANN has made a secret deal with Verisign, to benefit both parties financially, to the detriment of internet users and in particular small businesses, worldwide. Small businesses rely on being able to utilize the .com TLD as a trusted way for their customers to reach them online. ICANN's self-serving deal with Verisign means that retaining .com domains, will be approximately 70% more cost prohibitive over the next 10 years. This deal makes .com domains less accessible and more expensive for everybody. It is a bad deal for everyone except ICANN and Verisign. This secret deal is contrary to ICANN's remit, which in part is to maintain, not reduce competition in the domain marketplace. Please consider scrapping these planned changes.

ICANN is supposed to be governing this system in the interest of the public not corporations trying to make more money. This is flat out greed. Please do not implement this amendment. Thank you.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 is a money grab
by Matt Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to voice my opposition to Proposed Amendment 3. Despite there clearly being potential financial gains to be had by raising the registration fee on .com domains, the global DNS registration system should be run primarily as a public concern. The only entities that stand to benefit from the proposed arrangement are Verisign itself, at the expense of the public. While price hikes such as this likely won't mean much to the larger business concerns that buy in bulk, it will impact the millions of small, independent businesses and developers that rely on the system as is to make their livelihood. The web, and global DNS, were envisioned to be run for the public good, and they SHOULD be run for the public good. Deals such as this are an abdication of that mandate; short sighted profit chasing at the expense of all else. Please do not adopt this proposal. Matt Mosley

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comment against Amendment 3
by Toriningen Gamemaker Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

To whom it may concern, Amendment 3 is a terrible idea with no justification for its existence. After all, you have provided none. Nor was this deal made with any input; not from the government, not from registrars, not from computer science or economic experts, and not from domain name owners, who are most affected by this change. The internet is supposed to be a bastion of free speech; this is killed if you raise prices arbitrarily high, as this agreement allows and encourages. High pricing makes it economically infeasable for the majority of people to maintain their own website. You are supposed to monitor the market and keep competition fair, to allow prices and agreements to the benefit of everyone, not price gouge for money to be used for arbitrary purposes (We don't get to see your yearly budget, so how are you supposed to be held accountable that the $30 million Verisign is paying you is actually going to infrastructure costs?) Also, why one company in particular? Why have an agreement to give one body total pricing control over a product, and allow them to sell that same product? With this amendment, Verisign has an unfair advantage in the market, exactly the sort of situation the ICANN exists to prevent! How can something so blatantly biased be drafted and passed about such an unbiased medium? Ah, yes, the deal was made behind closed doors. Historically, closed door deals do not benefit the majority: deals made publically have the opportunity to be refined by the experts at large before they are finalized. Whether out of maliciousness or sheer incompetence, closed door deals are a bad idea. So, how about you discard this amendment, and try again? Thank you for taking your time with this message. Domain name owner, Toriningen

Feb. 10, 2020

I 100% object to the exorbitant price increases you are proposing. They *far *exceed likely inflation and decrease the democratizing influence of the internet. Boo! Hiss! Absolutely NO! The $20mm over 5 years for initiatives regarding the security and stability of the domain name system. To whom will you be accountable for these initiatives? Who will ensure that you spend this money responsibly? How can I be sure you are spending this money responsibly rather than lining your own pockets? I do not want Verisign operating as a domain name registrar. They already have enough power and control over domain names! They don't need any more. STOP this. I send this in full recognition that AGAIN, you are likely to disregard what I say -- no matter how many voices join on my side of these issues, and how few voices support what you are proposing. Even though I recognize that this is likely a *complete waste of time*, I am taking the trouble to share my perspective with you anyway. How do I know it's going to be a waste of time? Because the last time you received public comment on your initiatives, you received 3500 comments in opposition and only six in favor, and ... you carried on. SHAME....

Feb. 10, 2020

Dear ICANN, One of the building blocks of internet businesses, my KitchenKnifeGuru.com <http://kitchenknifeguru.com/> site included, is low-cost entry and maintenance. When you put in place a plan to systematically raise the price of domain names for a sustained period of time, you undercut this low-cost entry model. And you make it harder for small businesses to compete with large corporate entities. Many of these small businesses, often designed for overlooked niches, benefit consumers more than larger corporations. Please reconsider your deal with Verisign plan to systematically raise wholesale domain prices over the next decade. Please benefit the consumer, by benefiting small businesses, and keep the price of domain names low. Thanks, Nate Ouderkirk

by Michael Simson Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

To whom it may concern, The power of the internet is the numerous ways that people can connect and share information, tools, and resources with one another. Through the internet open source projects have become more abundant and easier to scale. This has resulted in more people benefitting from advances in technology without prohibitive costs associated with corporate offerings. At the heart of this ability to develop projects online is the ability to start domains affordably. This proposed deal to increase the prices of .COM TLDs by 7% for 8 out of 10 years will inevitably and eventually take a means for creating equality and accessibility out of the hands of millions of entrepreneurs, hobbyists, activists, and many others who are price sensitive. I would attest that the internet is the last bastion of freedom. At the heart of it is the domain itself. Since the overwhelming majority of domains end with .COM there is a need to preserve and protect the access to establishing a domain with this TLD. Bring this proposal to the public. Honor the millions upon millions who have used this TLD to make the internet what it is today. Have the courage to stand against the pressure of capitalistic onslaughts and say no to the price increases that threaten our very freedom the internet has provided.

The .com domains have become the de-facto internet standard and raising the prices now feels like a monopoly raising its rates just because it can.

The amount of control maintained by ICANN is concerning when the public is ignored. The proposed changes are an example of exactly what is wrong with this power and control for something as ubiquitous as domains without including open feedback. More inclusion in this process is needed. It is very possible that additional funds are needed to process domains, but this should be vetted by others. The potential for abuse is high following the current process with only two parties involved. Please use wisdom before entering into agreements that can potentially harm those with lower resources.

Hi ICANN, I am writing to express my opposition to the new .com deal with Verisign announced last month. This deal will place an undue burden on small business owners and give Verisign an unfair advantage in the market relative to other domain registrars. As Verisign has a monopoly regarding the usage of .com domain names, their pricing must be kept in check. 7% per year is too much of an increase, far outpacing inflation.

Given that registrars are not providing any additional value, it is unfair to consumers who have no real choice in any reasonable alternatives because of ICANN's monopoly, to increase prices, especially in light of the fact that costs should only continue to decline as compute and bandwidth costs continue to decrease over time. -- Dossy Shiobara | "He realized the fastest way to change dossy(a)panoptic.com | is to laugh at your own folly -- then you http://panoptic.com/ | can let go and quickly move on."

by Lauren Cheney Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Stop this! Do not increase prices View in browser Help Us Avoid .COM Price Increases Hi there! We have important information to share with you that will affect the price of your .COM domains. What's happening? Last month, ICANN, the organization that oversees domain names, announced significant changes to the contract it has with Verisign, Inc. who operate the .COM top-level-domain (TLD). ICANN made these changes in secret, without consulting or incorporating feedback from the ICANN community or Internet users. Although ICANN has a history of making similar deals behind closed doors, and also of ignoring unified opposition against such action, we are focused on leading the fight against price increases that will harm our customers (and the Internet as a whole). This is a crucial time to raise our voices given that .COM domains make up 40% of all registered domain names online. What does this change mean? Wholesale registries charge Namecheap a set fee per domain name per year. 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. Why is ICANN doing this? Alongside these contract changes, Verisign agreed to pay ICANN an additional $20 million dollars over five years to support ICANN's domain name system initiatives, without any clarity about how ICANN will spend the money, or who will ensure that the funds are properly spent on domain infrastructure. So, what can you do to help? These changes will have significant impact on the Internet for years to come, and only ICANN and Verisign have participated in this decision. If you want to make sure your voice is heard, let ICANN know how you feel about their recent decision. The Public Comment period is open until February 14, 2020.
