[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Do not increase .com prices
by Ben Heller Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

The internet is a public good and it should be administrated for the sake of public good, not for maximizing profits no matter what. You are abusing the centralized nature of the domain name system for profit at the expense of the internet itself. Don't do it.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] ICANN org secret deals
by Seth Leonard Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

ICANN has been an Internet pillar for decades. In today's political climate, it is sad to see more backroom closed-door deals by big tech. This $20-million deal with no details on how monies will be appropriated by an organization that control over 40% of internet domains...something does not smell right here. This feels like anti-trust/monopoly behavior given the large percentage of the internet affected by this deal.

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

Feb. 11, 2020

To whom it may concern, I'd like to express my disagreement with the amendments proposed to the .com registry agreement which would raise the current price of .com domains by around 40%. This agreement with Verizon does not represent a route towards an open internet, more accessible and even more when this translates directly to economic discrimination. Best regards, Mariano

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com Fee Increases
by nul boy Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

The fees for .com domains need to stay inline with where they are now so that they are more accessible. increases only drive people away from this domain level.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] I don't agree with the increase in .com domain prices!
by Tintin Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hello! The price of .COM domain names is already very expensive. If the price rises again, it will be unbearable for ordinary people, which is very detrimental to the development of the Internet in the world! So I strongly protest against the increase in the price of .COM domain names! Best regards, Jian

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] About the price increase of .com domain
by Wendell Rios Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hi, As a small business owner in Brazil, I'd like to ask you to not increase the price of .com domains. Despite operating in Brazil we intend to expand our user base globally so the business can live and prosper, but today is very hard to make ends meet. Any increase in costs endanger the operation and the future of our small company. Thank you very much, -- Cordialmente, Wendell Rios wendellrios 11 3522-9450 http://printspy.info [1]PrintSpy Não deixe o desperdício com impressão reduzir seu potencial para crescer.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] ICANN and Verisign : new proposals
by Alex Goodall Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I am *very concerned *about the new proposals concerning the relationship between ICANN and Verisign, announced on 3rd January. Of most concern is the *autocratic approach *being taken. It appears that, once again, *ICANN is ignoring market feedback*, as it in mid-2019. Furthermore, as I understand it, these new changes have been *proposed in secret*, without any consultation with the ICANN community and Internet users. ICANN's mission should be *to best serve the needs of its customers* - and that can only be achieved* via consultations and actions based feedback*. Also, the idea of *Verisign becoming a domain registrar*, either directly or indirectly is *shockingly wrong*. That this concession by ICANN is accompanied by an additional *$20 million funding from Versign* over five years - with no clearly identified purpose for the funds - as far as I am aware - raises all sorts of *nefarious possibilities*. Whatever the reality, at the very least, *the optics look damned awful*. *PLEASE be more open and listen to the ICANN community!* *We have no alternatives*, so it is absolutely essential that you *listen, listen, listen* - and act accordingly. Thanks for your attention. Alex Goodall

I don’t think the proposed amendments are healthy for the market and should be amended, especially o curb the price increase. Also, there should be more transparency of the process. Sam Huusain

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] I don't support your initiative
by Stas Nitros Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I don't support your initiative. Your decision will affect the end consumer and they will have to pay much more. And it's bad practice to make decisions behind closed doors. If you don't feel empowered to be open, then give your authority to other managers or corporations who will be more open in making decisions and thinking about the end consumer.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Any proposed price increases will result in a dramatic migration away from .com to other domains. dont let your greed blind you to screwing people over on one of the last few places on this planet where we have some kind of freedom of expression. dont ruin the internet for all of us just because you are chasing extra cash in your back pocket.

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

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear Madam, or Sir, I am concerned about this amendment to the Registry Agreement because it will affect, not just me, buy any individual who would like their own domain name. I am 100% sure that no corporation will object to the 28% cost increase every six years as they earn money off their domain name and paying almost any amount would be acceptible to them. However, there are a great deal of small businesses that would see this as a burden as well as individual users out there that have purchased their own domain name and are using it for personal use, not commercial use. Several of us have multiple domain names, if for no other reason than to protect our own names from being used to run a website. I personally have about 6 that I use to protect myself and my family while also allowing my children to be able to have a domain name that is exclusively theirs. 20 year Cost analysis: $ 7.85 / year 2018 $10.29 / year 2023 (31% increase over 2018) $13.49 / year 2029 (72% increase over 2018) $17.68 / year 2035 (125% increase over 2018) $23.17 / year 2041 (195% increase over 2018) I am aware that the 7% is a maximum per year for each of the four years and, theoretically, there could be no increase or a sub 7% increase some years, however, I have little faith on this being the norm and, most certainly, CANNOT plan on it being any less than the full 7% in any fiscal plans made. I understand it would be extremely difficult for you to create a regulation that would charge businesses more and individuals less, however, that may be what is required at this time. This would leave a loophole for businesses to have an individual register their domain name, however, no corporation of any size will be willing to leave their domain names in private hands. This would also allow fledgling businesses (aka startups) to keep their costs low at first. Remember, many businesses have been started in individual's garages. You may also assume that all ".com" domain names are used for, or are supposed to be used for commercial purposes, however, this is not the case today. If this had been defined and enforced from the beginning of the internet, this would be a non-issue, however, to start enforcing it today would cause many many individuals to lose their domains. Yes, there are other top level domains they can move to, however, that doesn't alleviate the fact that they would be losing an asset they had invested much time, money, and resources acquiring. Please keep the annual fee very low or consider a more flexible charging system for the .COM top level domain that will keep it accessible to individuals and small businesses.

Feb. 11, 2020

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. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest.

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

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear Sirs, I am concerned to learn that yourselves and Verisign are contemplating the signing of an agreement that will result in substantially higher fees for .com domains. It seems that you did a similar thing with regard to .org, .info and .biz domains, and without any proper form of consultation. Is it true that you have agreed with Verisign for the wholesale price of .com domain names to increase by 7% each year from 2020 to 2023? And then again, by a similar percentage each year from 2026 to 2029? Will you really be receiving an extra $20 million over the next five years to "support your initiatives regarding the security and stability of the domain name system"? Where is this money coming from, exactly, and what is it to be spent on? Should not any price increases over the years reflect the actual increase in running costs for organisations such as yours? Have you taken into account the fact that nearly all .com domain names are owned by commercial enterprises, most of them small and vulnerable to price increases for items that are indispensable for the running of their business? I await hearing from you. Philip Gegan philipgegan01(a)gmail.com

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] No price increases for .COM domains or any other domains
by João Francisco Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

If you have a minimum of respect for people all around the world, you know that it is not fair what you are doing. You already have the monopoly and with such privilege, you should have twice the responsibility. So just put your profits aside on this and make sure you keep delivering value to people’s lives by providing affordable and fair prices to everyone in the world. Remember that JUST one dollar might be life-changing money to some people in many countries all over the planet. Be responsible. Grow up. Subscrevo-me respeitosamente, Yours sincerely, João Francisco

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Increasing domain price always means ruining the open Internet
by Paul Puzyrev Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I'd like to give my opinion on .COM domain price increase. I own a few domains of such kind and they all are non-profit. We count each dollar on our organisation expense. I suppose, there are a lot of people like me. Hidden deals on .COM domains look like there is a purpose to ruin the free opened Internet. We already see how Internet giants ruin smaller and medium projects. Internet is not monopoly, nor are .COM domains. Please keep them open and available to everyone.
