[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] We Need More Transparency
by Jeffrey Hunt Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

After the recent change with .org's, I am surprised that ICANN would be risking additional bad publicity in a secretive deal with Verisign that is feared to increase .com prices. More transparency should be the answer instead--with inflation, raising prices would be a necessity at some point, but the general public is likely to respond negatively unless data transparency can account for the increased cost to provide the same service. Without that data and transparency, this move is likely to be perceived as driven by greed. I would hope for the sake of all involved, either this decision will be reversed or it will necessarily include a level of transparency. Thanks for your consideration, Jeff Hunt, owner of multiple domains

by Johannes Angeldorff Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

To ICANN, As a domain owner, owning around 300 domain names, I am very worried about the deal between ICANN and Verisign, which I understand may raise the domain registration prices over the next 10 years. Domain names should be available for a reasonable price, and that price should not be raised without very good reason. Please reconsider.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Opposition to proposed agreement with verifying
by Ryan lewis Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I present my opposition to the proposed agreement with Verisign. This deal needs structure as to how the money will be spent within icann who will over see the spending of that money an many more transparency clauses placed in. I also strong object to the agreement on allowing them to change the price this many times over the next 10 years. If this happens it could cause unrest and start having legislative consequences as the continued agreement that the internet is a public utility. It would also raise the cost of entry for many companies or would be start ups that would unreasonably be hindered by the price increases. Thank you for the time.

by Anders F Heie Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Please do NOT allow price increase to .COM domains, it's obviously a pure profit incentive that ICANN has been paid to allow. This is NOT in the public's interest and is at-best a scam. There is no inherent cost associated with maintaining domains that is even CLOSE to the price of a .COM domain today, and raising prices will just place an undue burden on small businesses. STOP IT.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Opposition to ICANN Changes
by Amber Kani Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

ICANN representatives, this amendment will generate cost prohibitive changes to the purchase of .com domains that will eliminate opportunities for individuals, underserved small businesses, and charitable organizations to maintain their online presence. Without the ability to predict rising costs of domains, individuals and organizations will struggle to offset the expense. These changes also come with limited fiscal oversight and clarity into decision-making processes. As a citizen and domain holder, I urge you to take a more fiscally-responsible and transparent approach.

My understanding is that this agreement was agreed to without any knowledge of the people who sell domain names to the users or the users themselves.

No way would I be continuing to register a .COM domain name with this price hike next year, I would easily and be too willing to switch to some of the more well known, cheaper and more ‘sensible’ domain names out there, meaning Verisign and ICANN would be losing a lot of business, not just by me but by lots of other people and businesses too.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Increase
by hje7di Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

To whom it may concern, Please for the record I object and disagree with the proposed increases in .com price and also the unfair position of Verisign and the new agreement between them and ICANN. We are a small business that struggles everyday to have the chance of exposing people to our products. Price increases affect smaller businesses disproportionately to large companies. Those companies will then enjoy knocking off smaller niche businesses that reduce the publics choices and benefits. Small businesses have many products, services and contributions to the world at large. Also small business accounts for many URL registrations and when they are forced out this volume will not be replaced by their larger competitors. There is a fair and equitable pathway even if less taken. "The time is always right to do what is right." Martin Luther King jr. Sincerely, L.T. Brady

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Richard Chritz Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Good Afternoon, I believe the proposed changed by ICANN regarding who can manage .com domains is anti-competitive and against the duties placed about ICANN to help keep the internet public and open. While these changes won't affect large businesses and corporations it will affect the many more small operators that helped create the internet as it is and will even more politicize another part of our culture that doesn't need it. Please consider the damage you would be creating upon everyday Americans and small businesses. If you do proceed I guarantee the legitimacy and authority of ICANN will not only be challenged by US political parties but also other nations of this world. I'd rather keep this service open and liberated than trust it with a Profit-driven corporation like Verisign who has continuously proven itself to be an unfit operator. I will do all that I can to prevent this change from happening. Sincerely, Richard Chritz Lakewood, CA

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Anne Baanen Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

As owner of several domain names, I strongly oppose the proposed amendments. ICANN has repeatedly implied that new TLDs allow for deregulation of the domain registration system, since customers are supposed to move to a new operator if they don't like the policies (e.g. pricing) of their current TLD operator. This argument does not hold water, even granting the assumption that the free market behaves according to the public interest, since the market in question certainly is not free. The simple fact is that one cannot change a domain name: one can only delete their old domain name and start at zero from a new one. This implies that the market is not free at all: each TLD operator is a monopolist in their own namespaces. Deregulation of this non-free market cannot be in the public interest, so I urge the ICANN to reconsider their current destructive course of action.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] ICANN/Verisign .com revisions
by C H Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Good day, I have been informed of the intent to change .com domains between ICANN and Verisign and would like to hereby submit my disagreement to these changes. Without more clarity on how finding will be spent and with the risk of .com domain names rising to disproportionally high levels across the next 10+ years, I do not believe this agreement will be at all in the interest of customers who are at the receiving end of this initiative. As such I would like to request a revision of the changes to protect consumer interests and give us more clarity on what impact the changes will realistically have on us. Best wishes, Claudia Horak

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] please don't increase the cost of .com registrations
by Frankenmint Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

As an individual and small business owner, I find that a large increase in the cost of the domain names as high as 40% is both stifling to innovation and hurtful to other aspiring content publishers and entrepreneurs. In my opinion you are increasing the barriers to entry by increasing the cost of .com domains. Please consider different avenues of accruing funding. Looking at wikipedia…they sneeze the money being pledged by undercutting consumers and they do so through donations. Is there a means by which icann can work with the namecheaps hostgators godaddys bluehosts et. al. to come up with a solution to secure the funding? Thank you for lending me your eyes and ears.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comments on Amendment 3
by Rick Smith Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

ICANN - I own some .COM domains. I just found out about your proposed Amendment 3. I also just found out that the public comment period has been open since Jan. 3rd and has only 4 days remaining. Had it not been for my registrar, Namecheap, I would have never known about this. I don't know what the issue is with all the secrecy. Perhaps it's the sweetheart deal of $20 million you're getting from Verisign. In any case, your proposed changes to the .COM TLD pricing structure benefit no one. Well, I suppose the changes benefit ICANN and Verisign but they certainly don't benefit anyone else. The price increases don't benefit the registrars because they'll just have to pass the price increases on to the registrants. And the price increases don't benefit the registrants. They'll either have to eat the price increases or pass them along as a cost of doing business to their customers. My suggestion is that you do the right thing and keep the .COM pricing structure the way it is. Rick Smith

I saw the proposal to raise the .COM registration fees. Please do not pass this amendment. Many small businesses depend on affordable access to domain registrations and this maneuver will make it even harder for small businesses to compete with much larger corporations.

To whom it may concern, The internet serves the function of a public utility these days, and to that end it is important that it remain as accessible as possible to people who wish to operate a website. It is very important that verisign not be allowed to increase the price of .com domains, the most popular and most well-known TLD, with such reckless abandon as has been proposed. -- Audrey Dutcher she/her/hers http://rhelmot.io/

I'm writing to voice my opposition to ICANN price increases. As a small business owner, I'm already faced with small budgets and tight margins. Small businesses make up 99.7% of US employer firms and are the predominate registers of dot-com domains. Do not remove price caps. It hurts small businesses.
