[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com domain costs
by Avi Leavitt Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Please do not allow Verisign to raise costs of the .com domain registration. Raising prices will stifle innovation and lead to overall less usage of the domain. Thanks, Avi

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Price increases
by Stephen Jarman Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hello, I find the level of price increases laid out in this amendment to be wildly out of line with reality. Can you justify the need for the increases, or is it just a money-grabbing exercise? Best regards, Stephen Jarman

Please stop the massive price increases on registered .com domain names! This increase affects so many of us small businesses. We don't want to take on increases costs or delegate the cost to customers. This is harmful to the community of users. Choose an alternative for your gain. Kind Regads, Christine Woryn

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Seven percent solution?
by Todd Bernhard Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Seven percent every year is a lot. It’s more than inflation and in an industry where technology gets CHEAPER every year this comes off as a money grab. Sent from my iPhone

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] I am opposed the proposed price increase to .COM domains.
by Matt Fitzwater Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I am a .com registrant. I am strongly opposed the proposed price increase to .COM domains. Verisign a profit driven corporation, plagued with controversy is the only entity that would benefit from the price increase. The current price is already far more than justified. In order for the world (which includes the poor) to be innovative, we need reasonably priced domain registrations. -- Matt Fitzwater

by Varun Adiyeri Parambath Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I am a registrant of a .com domain name and 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. Do not handover the rights to Verisign. I hope this email is taken into consideration. Varun Amsterdam, Netherlands

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed amendment 3 to the .COM registry agreement
by Henry -The Talkshow Host Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Thi is not people/customer centric in any way. Please stop this amendment that ultimately leads to an increase in the prices that will be paid by us the customers. Verisign has already made so much money and if they want to be generous with 20million, they can and do not need us the customers to pay for that too. That is just selfish. That is not being generous or thinking about us. It is very greedy and unfair.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Feedback: Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by mail＠domainhostproxy.com Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear ICANN, It’s very short-sighted to raise prices of the .com domains and we strongly disagree with this move. As a customer with so many domains across many registers, we have to strongly agree with NameCheap.com <http://namecheap.com/> and we support the position NameCheap.com <http://namecheap.com/> has taken, higher prices affects everyone and especially people that less well off and poor, if anything we say reduce the price of the .com and provide more support and margins for domain registers so that they have room to offer discounts to clients. Higher prices will have a strong and significant impact on the growth of the .com domains and make it less affordable to the end-user. We hope you take this feedback into account especially keeping in mind small business owners and start-ups. Thank you. Sincerely, DHP Team

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.

by Kassem Ezzeddine Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

The claim is that money will be spent on enhancing the technology available, that I understand, but isn’t the money coming now enough for doing whatever enhancements and upgrades. Yes I’m sure the big companies won’t mind a price increase, but for the average guy or small business, whom you should be supporting and thinking of first, this is a deal breaker. People and small businesses do take these small fees into consideration when planning an online venture. Don’t be greedy and keep the web more accessible to the masses rather than working to make it less accessible. Thanks

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Closed door contract with Verisign
by Sushant Gargya Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

It is unacceptable for ICANN to sign contracts with Verisign behind closed doors that affect Internet/.COM domain users. It is not in the best interest of the public when decisions are made in private that affect the general public. I humbly request that the vera sign contract details be made public. Also, if ICANN Can provide additional details about the extra $20 million that Verisign will give to ICANN in terms of the purpose of the extra funds and how it will be used by ICANN to improve the infrastructure. Thank you. -- Thanks! -sushant Mobile device/Please excuse brevity. “The earth has its boundaries, but human stupidity is infinite " - G. Flaubert "Balance is sort of a ridiculous concept.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Unfair price increases
by Angie Drach Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

These price increases that are planned with out a democratic audience seem a bit out of place in today’s society. It also seems like greed and arrogance are in the way. This isn’t supply and demand, this is 2 business being assholes because they can. Domains should be for all to weigh in on. It isn’t ICANN or Verisign’s invention that was copyrighted and trademarked to sell, no it’s a digital means that the entire population has buy in on. The domains need better structure and support, leading the rest of the World Wide Web into a great cyber future. Regulating prices and how they are governed is a far better solution that will advantageously impact the Internet for years to come. This unregulated price increase needs to be rethought to reflect the users. Just a user, Angie Drach Grisha219(a)gmail.com

Hello, I would like to comment that I, along with many other owners of domain names who I know both in Europe and in Canada, oppose this decision to increase the pricing of .COM domain names that would come as a result of your planned amendment.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Price increases on .COM and transparency
by milMedia Support Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Greetings, I run a small web design and hosting business in Killeen Texas, USA and am concerned about potential price increase for .COM. Web design and hosting has become such a low margin activity in this day and age even slight increases puts at risk the clients desire to outsource or keep in house to keep costs low. Small incremental increases to keep up with costs is one thing but the information I have read appears that you can charge up to 70% higher in under 10 years seems astronomical. I request that you work with the internet users, not just those who can enrich themselves, and be very transparent. Please have an equal blaance between the operator Verisign, ICANN, and the community, with equal voices for all. Thank you.
