[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Impact of increased fees
by Hafiz Waheed ud din Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear Sir/Madam, This increase is not actually going to benefit you in the long run but it will actually discourage people to use their domain names and instead they will start using other platforms like FB etc. In fact, they are already doing this. And at this point I think it will increase this transfer. But at the same time I understand that earning from this is also required for you. So just make this increase in price less. That's what I think is better option. thanks, -- Hafiz Waheeduddin

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] No to domain name price increase
by Gist Dom Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

The proposed price increase does not go well with the open internet goal. It doesn't have to be. The negotiations, and decisions happening without domain registrars notice or knowledge, and the nebulosity surrounding how the funds will be spent makes it a big NO!

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Stop Verisign deal
by Arkadi Pasternak Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Such changes will have significant impact on the Internet for years to come, and only you, ICANN, and Verisign have participated in this decision. Really? You need to allow others to participate in this discussion. Internet is public domain, or are we in China? If it's true what I read, your decision can bring me 70% price increase for each of my domains. And for what? The money you receive, who is going to monitor that those gains are going to support domain infrastructure instead of landing into your Executives' pockets or being overspent? Stop breeding corruption and open this to public. Arkai Pasternak

It is disappointing to know about the drastic price increase. It is just like a landlord increasing the rent when a brick and mortar business starts to prosper. Please register my protest against an unfair price increase. Regards Najam Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10

I am a registrant of several .com domain names. 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. -- Adrian Dmitra Stockholm, Sweden

I am associated with the secondary market in 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. Stephan Rügamer Berlin

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Price Increase
by Tomika Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I have a website that is a .com. I do not earn money from it, nor do I want to. It is a website for my personal needs. A simple blog that talks about my father, a victim of a horrible crime. I swore to him his story would be told and remembered on his website. He was lucky enough to see it and has since passed away. The site has been open since 2016. He passed in 2017. He is a victim without a voice. Through me, he has words. By raising prices on all sites, you deprive people, like me, of being able to simply have a voice. Cyberspace isnt just for personal profit. Its a voice. My dads site will never rank one on google. It won't make money. But it is something that I feel has a right to be affordable and available. Please reconsider charging more for all. Thank you. Tomika Endelderlyabuse.com

It is disgraceful how ICANN ignored previous comments! I want to KNOW how ICANN spends all those money. There's no transparency at all. I think it is time ICANN be dissolved and the service lead by a more effective group and/or automated technology. I'm against the new "Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement" Georgi Todorov

The new policy proposal of allowing verisign to continually increase .COM renewal process 8 out of 10 years is cost-prohibitive for young business and a very confusing and misleading practice.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .COM domains price
by Muhammad Faheem Akhtar Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hi, A couple of months ago I read the news about it.ORG domains and how all these things happened. ICANN did not listen to the public and now it is .COM domain. The internet was meant to be a public place not owned by a corporation. You guys, on which the public trusted all over the decades are now breaking it by selling removing the cap for money? As a public internet user, this is not acceptable and it will only hurt the public in the long run. It is also not guaranteed that Verisign or any other corporation will not steal domain from the organization to sell them at higher prices. Please stop.

Feb. 11, 2020

Hi, The recent changes imposed on price hikes for .com domains will have significant impact on the Internet for years to come, and only ICANN and Verisign have participated in this decision. This is totally UNFAIR and we want you to take this decision back. This is not a way to make money for sure... We the internet user community strongly reject this. We arent going to stop here if you dont roll back the changes.. Regards, Siddharth

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Disagree by the increase in the price of .COM domains
by Pablo Chancafe S. Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear I disagree about the increase in prices for .COM domains; not only for me, but for the hundreds of people and companies that use these domains for our companies, doing this will make less accessible to 80% of small and medium-sized companies do not have their own domain, on the contrary they should focus their efforts and together with wholesale companies that sell domains, try to reach hundreds of companies in all countries to have a website, that would help increase their income and not only with a price increase that will generate fewer people wanting to acquire a domain.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Amendment 3 to .com Registry Agreement
by Flagg M Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To Whom It May Concern, I urge ICANN to rescind its bid to increase rates on .com domains. Users like myself, a professor at a public university, depend on .com domain sites in order to disseminate our work to audiences. A true democracy depends on an informed electorate, and the results from research funded by American taxpayers are of value to the public good. Public universities struggling to meet the demands of a growing population cannot foot the bill for this effort alone. Corporations in positions of preserving and disseminating public knowledge have a responsibility to operate through due process; in this case ICANN’s clients and partners were not consulted adequately.
