[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please don't allow the price hike of .com domain
by shriram＠rootguard.xyz Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hello, .com is a very popular domain and I am using it for more than 10 of my personal sites. The Price increase will hamper a lot of potential customers from low poverty countries such as India where I belong. .com is a great and most popular tld. A lot of new businesses wants to have the .com domain but this price increase will hamper them a lot. You are the people who has control over these things. You do a lot of good work. Please don't let this happen and tarnish your image. This is a disrespect to all the customers and proves that only money matters to corporations.

We have been fine so far without these add-ons you're trying to shove down our throats. How about making them add-ons one can add into their carts when purchasing .com domain instead

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Disagreement with the new amendment proposal
by Vidhyanshu Jain Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear Sir/Ma`am, I believe that people like me who are trying to make their presence on the internet and trying to sharing our knowledge without putting a price on it will be very much affected by the new amendment. I believe this will affect a lot of individuals who are just trying to share their experience on the internet without any strings attached. I also believe that this is going to have an adverse effect on small businesses. My cousin owns a website and she sells baking recipes as ebooks on her website and she doesn't have enough earning as it is and this will increase the cost of her website. She uses the money earned from her website for daily use. I understand that big companies will not have any problems but small individuals like her are going to face big problems. best. vidhyanshu jain

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Unacceptable Price Increases for .COM
by James English Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hello, The nature of technology is such that prices of domain names should decrease each year rather than increase. If you make a deal with Verisign, it should include yearly price reductions, and there should never be a price increase other than what might be needed to counter inflation. Thanks. James English

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

Feb. 11, 2020

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. Mustafa Raleigh, North Carolina United States

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Avoid .COM Price Increases
by Viet Nguyen Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hi there, *.COM domains make up 40% of all registered domain names online* .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. Please don't do that. Thanks, Viet Nguyen

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please don’t be greedy!
by Babington Design Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I have had quite a number of very small-scale, creative endeavor, solopreneurial domains for over 10 years each. I truly can’t afford the proposed price hikes on .com or any other domain registrations. Please don’t stifle my and others’ creative freedoms by any such greedy changes. Why would you take such harmful advantage of the hard-earned and often measly funds of low-income people? Please don’t increase the .com or any other consumer costs. Please care.

Feb. 11, 2020

These price increases seem excessive, and unfair to the little guy who's trying to start or maintain a business. Please come up with a better way to do what you need to do. Maintaining a website is costly enough already, and we need new businesses to succeed in this economy! Thank you Stacy Prince Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Opposition to amendment
by Jackson Ray Hamilton Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

> 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. > I am voicing my opposition to this amendment because it is likely to increase my domain renewal costs over the years. I want to contribute to the worldwide online community, but I also must keep a budget for my real-world costs, and the latter will come first for me. Attempts to increase the costs of domains will not net more profits for you, rather they will cause me to constrict my domain holdings and, in general, exercise more caution before committing to new domain stewardship — CUTTING into your profits.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] prohibit the sale
by Len and Lisa Mills Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To all whom it concerns : Public ownership of the Internet and its addresses is essential to vigorous health of our democratic society. The service providing web addresses, similar to those providing street addresses for postal service, must remain a minimal cost service. Such a service must not shut-out citizens communications and commerce because of the cost of a publically functioning address (known as a Domain). This service must not be placed in the hands of those who operate on the principle of "the highest price that will produce the maximum profits". Please re-examine the custody of Domain names and place them firmly in the public trust. Sincerely, Len Mills

by Dennis Kirui Feb. 11, 2020

The proposed change to increase .com prices over the next 10 years, is punitive and will negatively affect our small businesses. I am against this policy and vote for it not to be implemented.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Unacceptable!
by Sameer Ahmed Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hi ICANN, I do not support the price hike ICANN has incorporated in it's new contract with Verisign. These changes do not protect domain owners and are negatively affecting the Internet as a whole. That's probably why these changes are kept secret and implemented behind closed doors. Regards, Sameer

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Unacceptable if rises the price.
by Ismail Tabtabai Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

This amendment is unacceptable and boils down to the fact that ICANN is soliciting funds to account for its inefficiency in running itself as an organization that should get its funds from the people and not corporates that are bodies funded by profits.

Feb. 11, 2020

I think that it is quite unfair that you have chosen to go behind many people and organization’s backs to raise prices on domain names. Please reconsider your actions.
