[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Prevent .COM Price Increases
by Nithin K Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Com domains should be easily available to everyone. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. No one want increases in .COM prices other than Verisign. The current rate is already far more than justified. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. Regards, Nithin K Web Application dev Bangalore India

I’m very opposed to .COM price increases. Internet users love the current price, and I believe the internet users would be outraged to see a change. Dallas Rodriguez Multi-domain owner

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Set .com domain price increase limits to the rate of inflation
by Wireball - David MacCarter Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

In regards to the wholesale price increases to domain registrars for .com domains, it's probably best to adjust them to no more than the rate of inflation. 7% annually on 3-year cycles with 2-year hiatuses will outstrip the rate of inflation by an ever-increasing margin. That runs the risk of killing private and smaller sites in the long run. On a side note, I'm curious if the actual expense of domain administration is remaining steady (adjusted for inflation), or if the economies of scale are gradually reducing per-domain administration expenses. -- - David MacCarter, Wireball - webmaster(a)wireball.com (Sent from Nine android email)

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Stop the price hikes
by Emily Hutnik Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Price hikes behind closed doors and $20M with no oversight as to how it will be spent. This is a betrayal and a clear cash grab. This will hurt small businesses and professionals the most which is absurd. Thank you, Emily Hutnik

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com proposal
by Mary Girgis Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To whom it may concern, I disagree with the .com agreement. According to this new agreement, Verisign will be allowed to increase the wholesale price to registrars for .COM domains every year for 8 out of the next 10 years, and the increases don’t stop there. This will mean that .COM wholesale domain prices can grow by more than 70% over and above current prices over the next decade. The contract also allows for other price increases, which could drive prices up further, ultimately making .COM domains less accessible and more expensive for everybody. Kind regards, Mary

Everything you've agreed to behind closed doors may be best, but how about some transparency to the process first? The way it is being communicated cast a shadow of doubt. Clarence Klopfstein

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Price Increase to .COM Registry Agreement
by David Cohen Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I have 8,000+ domains. I'm a WORKING PERSON building for my kids. Primary concern is growing evidence that ICANN no longer governs "in the public interest." Not listening in any but lip-service fashion, allowing Verisign to continue expanding greed. Wondering if ANYONE at ICANN is seriously considering the downside of yet another raise, after so many other TLD's have gone up D Cohen Brooklyn, New York United States

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] I do not agree with proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Teyfik Terzioglu Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hello,I do not agree with the proposed amendment.These changes are not necessary and will create a price surge in the registration fee of .com domains.No one except ICANN and Verisign will benefit from this amendment.Instead of making the internet more accessible for everyone you are trying to create more obstacles for the consumer.Where does this end? This amendment is exactly what a commercial organisation would do. And your organisation should supposed to be a non profit organisation??Are you sure about that or is the wikipedia page not updated?Verzonden vanaf mijn Samsung Galaxy-smartphone. **************************************************************************** No legal consequences can be derived from the contents of this e-mail neither is sender committed to these.

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

Feb. 11, 2020

Hello, I am concerned and very unhappy to find out that .COM prices will drastically increase for several years. This makes my doing business harder! I'm also very unhappy that this Verisign agreement has essentially been made without no public accountability. That's not right. People who are affected by these attempted unilateral changes should be part of this decision. I vote NO for this proposed amendment. Thank you, and please reconsider this decision.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Objection to .COM Registry Agreement proposed changes
by Roger Neate Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To whom it may concern, I am submitting these comments as an objection to the proposed changes concerning management of the .com top-level domain. The process by which the changes to the .COM Registry Agreement were debated and agreed to is opaque. I have no insight into the justification for the potentially onerous fee increases that Verisign will be permitted to make under the proposed agreement. In addition, there is a lack of clarity about the $20 million dollar payment to be made by Verisign to ICANN, how that money will be spent, and how to ensure accountability to the people affected by these changes. The proposed changes to the .COM Registry Agreement should not be adopted without significant additional public input. Sincerely, Roger Neate

Changes to the internet whether it be TLD, DNS, or protocols should never be done behind closed doors and without community oversight. All changes should be properly documented and with complete accountability. Without this the internet will degrade and eventually be destroyed as an open platform. Brian

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3
by Dean Lind Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I want to briefly write and say that I am vehemently opposed the the .com registration rate increases you are proposing. As a small business owner who registers domains on a regular basis this will have a very negative impact upon ongoing growth. It could even lead to the demise of many businesses. At the very least such increases will have to be passed on to my customers. I'm already operating on a thin margin and this could cripple even that. Please reconsider this draconian proposal.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] The price should not be increased
by Derek Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I am a registrant of a .com domain name. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. 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. Derek Wei China
