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

Feb. 10, 2020

Hello, I am a registrant of lot of .com domain names and we're actively using it for production. 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 am a registrant of a .SE domain name, but appreciate that much of my business relies on the .COM registry, which by far leads the market in domain name registries I am against the proposed increase of price to .COM domains — only Verisign wants this increase, and being merely a manager of the .COM registry has no business dictating price. Given the vast volume of registrations 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 that of corporations. Mia Dobson Edinburgh, Scotland United Kingdom Sent via Migadu.com, world's easiest email hosting

Dear ICANN, now that we have "custom TLDs" that generate considerable revenue, it makes little sense to increase the cost of a well-established "default" TLD which most SMBs and startups default to. Please do weigh the public interest voices against this proposal carefully. Should Verisign not wish to continue under the same terms, there are registry managers ready to replace them with virtually zero effort on your part. As many have already pointed out, the current price is already questionable in light of the level of management automation and the volume of domains sold. If any changes are expected from a public-interest point of view, TLDs as popular as .com should decrease in price. Regards, Pavel Lovyn

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Against price increases.
by chen quanhui Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Against price increases. I am a domain name investor from China. I don't think it is suitable for price increase at present. The domain name industry is sluggish. Price increases will exacerbate the current situation. .com has a significant number of registrations in China. But China's mobile Internet is developing rapidly. Many people no longer use the computer to access the Internet. The demand for com is gradually decreasing. At this time, the price increase will only accelerate the reduction of .com registrations in China. 反对涨价我是来自中国的域名投资者。认为目前不适合涨价。域名行业低迷。涨价会加剧目前的状况。 .com在中国有着相当大的注册量。但是中国移动互联网发展迅速。很多人已不再通过电脑访问互联网。com的需求量正在逐步减少。此时提价只会加速降低.com在中国地区的注册量。陈全辉 Chen QuanHui Hunan,China

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] The .COM Registry Agreement should not be monopoly-controlled by Verisign
by Bruce Henry Lambert Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Aloha. I am an internet user with many .com websites used personally and for business & investments. My colleagues and I are outraged that ICANN has allowed Verisign to maintain a monopoly over the .com registry. Verisign is predatory and able to unreasonably raise prices only due to their corrupt relationship with ICANN allowing no competition. Why are other potential suppliers frozen-out? Surely ICANN does not enjoy being accused of collusion and corruption, but by not allowing open competitive tender, the no-bid .com registry contract allows THEFT from me and millions of others. This multi-billion dollar gift should not be controlled by Verisign. The windfall profits enjoyed by Verisign are evidence the price of .com registrations is too high and should be lowered. ICANN has not been truly responsive to past public input about the .com and .org registry contracts. Each registry is essentially a public trust arrangement, and not the private property of Verisign or ICANN. Domain prices for .com & .org should be DECREASING. Please make it happen.

by Rishi Lodha Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I am a domainer (I invest in domain names as a business). 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. How can a particularly organization have monopoly over something that’s used by millions of people throughout the world? A 30% price increase would make life difficult for many domain investors and also discourage many from registering .com domains, especially people from developing countries.

by Leo Huang Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I am very happy to see the price increment. Those who buy domains in bulks and resell them at hundreds and thousands of dollars more need to be stopped. And this can be the first step. Currently, the manager of .COM Registry did NOTHING to stop them from profiting from those "investments." Who needs hundreds of domains if not for extracting profit from normal users? Have you noticed that they have sent tons of automated messages to this mailing list already? A thread was opened by Mark from NameSelling.com with hundreds of automated messages following it in the exact same format. LOL Regards, Hexhu

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] DNS Price Increase
by Laurie Stearn Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

[13:21] Schtearn Randomizations Domain names going up at 7% per year is ridiculous - here is my comment: Hi there, I have read some other comments, and the following one, for example is very much in the spirit of public reaction to such a change. “Hello, 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. At worst, this could prove yet another point of pressure that convinces a small business to make their online presence exclusively in the Facebook walled garden and eschew the web itself. 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. Best, John Riccio Buffalo NY” Although the upkeep of domain registrations is important, to be fair it must be compartmentalized as to the purpose and nature of the names in use.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] against Amendment allowing Verisign to increase prices
by Theo Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I currently own many domain names which I have owned for several years. I own my own name for personal website as well as names for my freelance consulting business. I am totally against this Amendment that allows Verisign to increase prices up to 7% per year for the next 4 years. Verisign was already given a monopoly position with regard to the .com registry and permitted to charge $7.85 per domain. Exactly what service do t777777hey provide for this service? In 2019 Verisign had gross revenue of $1.2 billion and a net profit of over $600 million. That's a 50% net profit margin. I must say, not bad. They are doing just fine without this raise in prices. The internet is a public good and this should be kept in mind when determining what a for-profit company who is in a monopoly position is allowed to charge for its services. While I do believe Verisign should be allowed to make a profit since that is why they are in business and enables them to provide a quality service, I also believe that in this case a 50% net profit is more than fair for providing a service that is a public good. What other industry that provides a public good has that high a margin? Also, what other regulated industry is permitted to raise its prices up to 28% over a six year time period, especially since inflation is so low now and likely to stay this way for a while? Allowing Verisign to raise its prices at the expense of the people and in opposition to the public good is just a corporate give-away. ICANN, please do not allow this to take place and do the job of protecting the people's interests. Thank you. theo m. Cliffside Park, NJ _______

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comments on Amendment 3, specifically the Price Increase clause
by Paul Kraus Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

As someone who has been managing servers on the public Internet since 1995, and as someone who maintains public DNS servers for a variety of domains, and as someone who understands the costs associated maintaining TLD and root DNS servers, and as someone who remembers the cost of .COM domain registration in 1995 ($35/year/domain), I do not question the need for price adjustments over time. I question the 7% value. There is no indication as to how that value was decided upon. I would like to see justification for that amount. The amount _may_ be justified, but there is insufficient information available to draw that conclusion. Having seen very large and rapid increases in registration cost for other TLDs ( .HOSTING and .HAUS specifically ), I think it is critically important that one of the earliest TLDs ( .COM ) not suffer such rapid cost increases, so I am in favor of a relatively small year to year increase rate consistent with coverage of operating costs. I have seen other comments about keeping domain registration costs reasonable for individuals, that is part of what the large expansion of TLDs was supposed to accomplish. Looking at my registrar, I see plenty of options for TLDs that renew for under US$20, which seems reasonable to me for an individual. Thank you for considering my comments.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Opposing Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Nate Hashem Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I am submitting this comment to OPPOSE the proposed Amendment 3. The global DNS registration system should be run as a public good. It is not clear who the beneficiaries of this Amendment 3 are aside from Verisign. Verisign reported $300 million in revenue and $198 million in operating income last quarter. These price hikes are hardly necessary and will only serve to enrich this private sector company at the expense of the entire internet ecosystem that relies on .com domains for their web sites. It could be argued this is also not in Verisign's own interest as well, as higher .com registry fees will push small businesses and entrepreneurs away from the open web and make it more appealing to operate within the various walled gardens like Facebook. The web, and global DNS, were envisioned to be run for the public good. Deals such as this are an abdication of that mandate. Please do not adopt this.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] ICANN and Verisign
by Andy Gee Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Is ICANN going to ignore the overwhelming sentiment of comments opposing the Verisign encouraged price hikes? After all that is what ICANN did last time public comments were taken with .org and .biz domains. https://www.icann.org/resources/agreement/org-2019-06-30-en Is ICANN really subservient to Verisign? Verisign seems to think ICANN is quite malleable: Quote: Verisign's CEO ( James Bidzos ) : We believe these discussions with ICANN are nearly complete. While it will be inappropriate at this time to provide more details, I can say that we were satisfied with the results so far. As noted, this is an ICANN process and we expect that before long ICANN will be publishing for public comment the documents we have been discussing. Is ICANN's collection of these comments merely a legal formality? Was this proposed policy change influenced at all by the $20,000,000 Verisign agreed to build into Verisign's renewed contract with ICANN? If the answer to any of the above questions is "yes", we have to ask another two questions: Is ICANN displaying signs of corporate greed? Would ICANN benefit from a top-down restructuring?

Considering that internet/domain names have become a necessity at this point, what's the reasoning behind the proposed price increase? I am against this steady/blind price increase.

Other than a pure money grab, there's no reason to increase fees. The technology has not changed nor has the cost of providing the service when you consider the number of .com sites. This needs to be voted down. Michael Griffith intendlove.com

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement

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. Given that Verisign does not provide any new service. It's a free milk cow for Verisign. Verisign built the software off registration fee so technically ICANN owns the Verisign software to manage 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.
