[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by 36 hertz mastering Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

As a small business owner I would like to voice my concern at the proposed changes to the contract it has with Verisign, Inc. who operate the .COM top-level-domain (TLD). Website running costs are already a large portion of my business and to have these changes forced on us could have a significant impact on my business I find it alarming that this proposal has been conducted behind closed doors without consulting or incorporating feedback from the ICANN community or Internet users. In this day and age the price of domains should be becoming cheaper not being forced higher by a monopoly Kind regards Michael Watch -- *36 Hertz Mastering* - www.36hertzmastering.com <http://www.36hertzmastering.com> Digital mastering specialists - *Mastering from £10* *Find us on:* Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/36hertzmastering> / Instagram <https://www.instagram.com/36hertzmastering/>

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] My comment on the contract between ICANN and Verisign
by Alyssa Maac Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I believe that the internet is for everyone. And that it is necessary now. It’s almost a commodity. If a lot of people cannot afford education, they only find the internet as the cheapest accessible place. What would happen if that is taken away too? A lot of websites wouldn’t be able to sustain their content and in the end, shut down. I hope you consider this. Don’t exchange a single huge gain for a long-term loss, as less and less people would get .COM domain. Sent from Mail for Windows 10

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Public comments concerning Amendment 3
by Mitchell Freitas Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

It is entirely disappointing to continuously see attempts of major corporations attempt to bypass the opinion and consent of its major users for monetary benefit. I strongly oppose amendment 3 and strongly condemn ICANN officials for taking such steps to pass an agreement that would be detrimental towards the progression of human society by means of the internet and domains. The TLD .COM has for decades been a means for individuals to change their own lives, and shape the direction of society, through what they create. By passing this amendment, and inadvertently allowing the price hikes to registrations of .COMs you are stifling innovation and stifling the dreams of global citizens who use this address as a means of hope for a better life. Do not pass this amendment. Do not move forward with this deal with Verisign. Remember that you serve the global public first, before any shareholder or government.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Andrii Nikolaienko Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear Sir and Madam, I am writing this letter to show my opposition against price increase on .com domain name. I am a registrant of a .com domain name and I don't see a reason for the price to change. Is it going to help individuals who want to have their website on .com or a big company Verisign to get more money out of their business? ICANN should regulate the domain name system in the public interest. Best regards, Andrii Nikolaienko Kyiv, Ukraine.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] NO on Amendment 3
by Amy Kotas Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To whom it may concern, I disagree with the proposed amendment 3, which would increase the cost of .COM domains over a period of time. Without a doubt .COM is the most valuable and trusted domain level, and by making it less affordable you are reducing competition. Tech prices typically go down with scale, and there is no justifiable reason to increase the prices. Sincerely, Amy Kotas Brattleboro, VT, USA

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3
by mechanique＠wmol.com Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I wish to state my absolute opposition to Proposed Amendment 3 and to any agreement that allows an increase in registration fees of any top level domain that exceeds inflation. According to the Memorandum of Understanding, mid 1998, between the U.S. Department of Commerce and ICANN, ICANN was to be a non-profit entity with a primary focus to maintain the DNS system in the public's best interest and "promote ... development ... of mechanisms to solicit public input..." I am having difficulty understanding how the deal quietly negotiated between ICANN and Verisign, which allows .com registration costs to increase 70% in the next ten years, is consistent with this mandate? Or how the exchange of $20 million from an entity with such a vested interest to that with oversight of that interest avoids a strong taint of impropriety. Chuck Gustafson

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Nikos Kantarakias Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To whom it may concern This email is about expressing my opposition for the planned .COM price increase. 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.

Small businesses and web enthusiasts will be negatively affected by any increase in the price of domains. This will have a negative impact on innovation and web security as enthusiasts will be forced to use less secure, obscure top-level domains!

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please Reject Amendment 3
by Deanna Cleary Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To whom it may concern, I am a small business owner and registrant of many .com domains. I strongly urge you to reject the Verisign increase to the wholesale price to registrars for .COM domains. Price increases without reasonable justification will dramatically increase the value of .com domains, drive up business operating costs, and potentially make even having a website cost prohibitive for many small business owners such as myself. Please keep .COMs affordable and stop unjust price hike. Sincerely, Deanna Cleary DNC.media

The increase in the price of .com domains leads us to think about other alternatives and other locations (countries) where we feel safer and at fairer prices. We regret this situation.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comment
by Mahmoud Mabrouk Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear ICANN Board, I am writing you to express my objection to the changes contract you have with Verisign, Inc. to operate the top-level domain .COM. These changes in the contract will result in a price increase of the .com domains. As an African student in a third world country, I believe that such an increase will be felt mostly by the already disadvantaged people of developing nations. People in third world countries still lack an equal and free access to the internet. Increasing the prices of the most used domain (.COM) will be a step back in the democratization of the internet in the world. I hope my comment will make you reconsider the changes to the contract with Verisign to not allow any increase in the prices of the .com domains in the forseable future. Best regard, Mahmoud Mabrouk A Tunisian Student

Hi,.com is the most used tld in the world. Many people use them because of the acceptable price.So many people need their domain to make great projects. You could send out a contest which is the best .com website. This would be great publicity and you don't have to increase the prices.You are a very big company, you don't need that but people need their domain!Thanks________Max SpiessDesign ExecutivePowerPointVorlagen.atGroisbach 85AT-2534 Alland, Niederösterreichwww.powerpointvorlagen.atmax(a)powerpointvorlagen.atMobil: +43 681 813 64 524Wir erstellen Ihr individuelles Angebot für einen Auftrag mit PowerPoint!
