by Julius Salonen Feb. 10, 2020

I am a registrant of a .com domain name among others. 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.

by Nicolas Bernard Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

To whomever it concerns, I am a registrant of a .com domain name. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. The Internet was a space of freedom, and that it should remain. To ensure this freedom, anybody should be able to own a domain name, the only entry barrier being technical competency (which is lowered every day thanks to new management services). A domain name price should never be a barrier preventing people from owning their place on the Internet. If the proposed price increase is due to Verisign finding that the dot com registry is a hassle, I am sure you should be able to find another organisation willing to handle that without needing to increase the price. Better yet, maybe you should anyway ask for another handler for the dot com registry, one that could make these domain even cheaper and, more importantly, one that should be non US based. Regards, Nicolas Bernard Arches, France

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Opposition to .COM Price Increases
by Stephen Johnson Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I see no justification for why .COM prices should increase. Verisign is already reporting operating margins around 60% and pays their CEO (*one person*) over $9 million *per year*. The idea that they are struggling to cover their costs is ludicrous. TLD's should be managed for the public good, not the greed of corporate executives. Sincerely, Stephen Johnson

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

Feb. 10, 2020

I am writing to express my opposition to proposed Amendment 3 of the .COM Registry Agreement. I am the registrant of multiple .com domains. Given the current issues with the proposed .ORG takeover, it would be inadvisable to consider any changes to other TLDs until those issues are resolved. Furthermore, were it not for those issues, the proposed .COM price hike is unjustified. Although I am not privy to Verisign's financials, I have seen it estimated that their costs per domain registered range from $1 to $3.50. This gives them a current profit margin of ~60%. Given that ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest, not in Verisign's interest, and that a profit margin of 60% is extremely high in any indistry, ICANN should instead be proposing to lower .COM prices.

Good morning, I am a registrant of a .com domain name and am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices and the current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. Verisign is merely managing the .COM Registry - it has no business dictating the price.

I am a registrant of a .com domain name. I find it highly offensive that ICANN has made itself into a business model where former officials who set policies allowing domain price increases are then able to profit off of their past decisions by buying into registrars. I fear my comments will not matter, because it seems clear that ICANN has become corrupted by a profit motive that was not supposed to exist. I hope you return to operating in the public interest. I included some language from an online form of the Internet Commerce Association below because I think they have it exactly right on this issue. Again, please return to being an organization that helps the public as originally intended. 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.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Herbert Shin | Comments to the Proposed Amendment 3 to the Registry
by Herbert Shin Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Dear ICANN, Thank you for your time to read my comments. To explain briefly about myself, I am a senior engineer at Verizon working in the field of ML and software engineering. I understand that, compared to Verisign, I am but a simple registrant of .com domains; but I want to at least voice my disagreements with the price inflation in the hope that the majority is thinking along the same line. The way that I see it with my limited knowledge of the internal discussions, this proposal is on par with the removal of net neutrality by the FCC. Yes, there will be numerous fake/repeated comments flowing for the advocacy of this proposal. Yes, perhaps the price hike may benefit the registrants - although I fail to see how. And yes, perhaps the 31% price increase through 2024 is justifiable and in the interest of the public (which I hope the board would elaborate with more details to the public for their understanding). But in the higher scheme of things, are both FCC's proposal and the ICANN's proposal in the best interest of the people and not the few? Are we also sure that the price hike - and the subsequent hikes in the future - will not extinguish the ability of the young, future generations of coders due to new and escalating financial burdens? Since 1978, the cost of college tuition was artificially inflated by 1,120%, medical care by 601%, housing by 380% while the pay for the workers decreased by the average of 5~10%. Although this statistics is circumscribed to the United States, I think this numbers aren't foreign to other countries. I may be able to afford this new changes, but I cannot speak for the future generations who would be required to have to bear the burden. Now I'm not saying that I want to prevent any price hikes in the future. If it is justified, reasonable, and best communicated to others, I may be able to come to an understanding. One thing is sure. If the price hike is no longer affordable to me, I won't be able to purchase new domains for my programming ideas and concepts - and simply watch the financial giants slowly take over the Internet. Sincerely, Herbert Shin herbert.shin(a)verizon.com h(a)init.bar

Feb. 10, 2020

Hello, I am a registrant of a .com domain name. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. As the actual cost to manage each domain is in the neighborhood of 2.30$, the current rate of $7.85 already seems more than justified. To be frank, no one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices. As they have a monopoly over the. COM domains, they won't be using that money to better compete...this really looks like it's all about profits. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. I fail to see how lack of competition is in the public interest, but I'm sure you're stuck with the Verisign situation, whether you like it or not. If you're going to approve price hikes for a monopoly, however, you really need to make sure the public is sold on the idea by explaining how it will benefit us. This isn't socialism yet, thankfully, so you're still required to sell us on it. Otherwise we'll put someone else in charge, right?

Feb. 10, 2020

After reading all the other previous comments I feel as if there is not much more that needs to be said. The increases start churning people significant profits, and those same increases give nothing back to those (often individuals such as myself) no additional benefit to the cost which is going to increase each year. So here's what's going to happen. I'm going to end up dropping my two .com domains, from there some hoarder will park them just because it was something that once existed, they're really not worth while for anyone, but in my case as like many others the net will be an ever increasing wasteland of abandoned domains that are all parked by others trying to sell domains. Pretty soon it'll be like a dark alley with a guy in a trench coat trying to sell you a domain! Anyways, jokes aside, this ability for everyone to start jacking up prices is going to be a slippery slope that's going to benefit no one other than the person that want's more money themselves with nothing in exchange for the increases. Everything is perfectly fine the way it is, leave shit alone... ---- Sent using Guerrillamail.com Block or report abuse: https://www.guerrillamail.com//abuse/?a=Qk55CAgOV6dYiwG5vX8SdxrDQM%2BexpoDi…

Hello, I am a registrant of a multiple .com domain names. 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. Please don't increase .COM prices. Vladimir Lasky Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

Good day I use the Internet but I am not a .com registrant. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. Hiking prices for domain names makes them unaffordable for poor or third world registrants, increasing the divide between haves and have-nots. DNS is a system that relies on everyone using a single, authoritative source. Increasing prices could act to split the internet based on location or income level.

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. If the cost of managing .COM names were increasing, I would have no problem with a gradual price increase, or finding a company other than Verisign to manage the registry if they could do it cheaper. However, based on the costs we know, and the costs of the new gTLDs, that does not appear to be the case. I'm highly disappointed that ICANN is relinquishing control of its responsibilities.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] I'm against this ridiculous proposal
by 二宝 Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

This is an official email, please read it carefully. Dear ICANN member, hello I just learned through my domain registrar that the com domain price is going to increase. In my opinion, I strongly oppose this ridiculous proposal! We know that a domain name is a symbol of a website's appearance and the cornerstone of the Internet. In my impression, the domain name should be a symbol of the Internet. The representative of the domain name, the com suffix actually intends to increase the price, and it is increasing every year. I can't understand the positive effects of this ridiculous proposal in addition to bringing profits to Verisign. Negative effects, I can cite a lot. For example, we are advocating free internet today, and we hope that everyone will build a website and become part of the internet. But this approach is clearly the opposite. I hope ICANN can reject this unrealistic proposal after serious discussion.                                                                                                                                                                                                Chinese personal webmaster,Liu Ming

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.

The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. As far as I can tell Verisign is already running a steady profit on the .com registry. Any increases in efficiency and decreases in cost, is already at the benefit of Verisign. Verisign is merely your manager of the .COM Registry – it has no business dictating the price.

I am a registrant of several .com domain names. 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. I ask you to please reconsider this proposal, and consider all users of the internet, rather than Verisign. Thank you!

Dear Sir or Madam, I am a registrant of several .com domain names and I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. The current rate is already far more than justified. Verisign is merely managing of the .COM Registry and it has no business dictating the price. Please remember that ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest.

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

Feb. 10, 2020

I am a registrant of multiple .com domain names. I am OPPOSED to the proposed price increase to .COM domains, if anything they should be lowered because it costs less each year to manage .COM: the current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest, not to the benefit of Verisign. Adam San New York, NY (via cellphone, random spelling ahead)
