[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Don’t increase the .COM price
by Sunny Kumar Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Once again, you’re making back-room deals to benefit corporate interests over the needs of all internet users. I am OPPOSED to the removal of price controls. ICANN should represent ALL Internet users and not just pursue its own profits. -- Sunny Kumar Blogger | Affiliate Marketer [image: facebook icon] <https://www.facebook.com/5unnykum4r> [image: linkedin icon] <https://www.linkedin.com/in/5unnykum4r> [image: twitter icon] <https://twitter.com/5unnykum4r> [image: youtube icon] <https://instagram.com/5unnykum4r> email: 5unnykum4r(a)gmail.com TheGuideX , Connaught Place 110001, New Delhi.

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

Feb. 11, 2020

To whom it may concern I was shocked to hear that the proposed amendments to the .com Registry Agreement were discussed only between ICANN and Verisign. This lack of consultation smacks of corruption and is clearly not in the best interests of internet users. Please review any need to go ahead with such a strange and unfair process without involving a much greater number of stakeholders. Yours sincerely Kylie Wallace

Feb. 11, 2020

I use the Internet but I am not a .com registrant. 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. FIg Lee Los Angeles

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Amendment 3
by Peter Palumbo Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Please do not approve Amendment 3 allowing an increase of 24% over the last 4 years of each 6 year period. Though I understand increasing costs of services, there is no reason for that increase to be greater than the rate of inflation. That would be at most an increase of 3.5% over the last 4 years. Please do not do this. Creators and small businesses need the ability to access fair price domains for increased innovation. Thank you for your consideration.

This is unacceptable and I will have to shut down all my personal websites as well as my small business site of these increases go through as it is already a financial burden for anyone below the middle class who can’t even afford to list their wares on Etsy.

As I have received information from my mail hosting service provider, I am particularly disappointed at this action between ICANN and Verisign and I find it an unethical business practice. I am based in Africa and financial resources in this part of the world is hard to come by and internet access and other activities linked to the internet will be impacted greatly. I do not want to pay more than I am currently paying..

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Dot Com Price Increase
by John Robinson Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hello, I'm writing to discourage adopting Amendment 3. The ability to register tlds at a reasonable price is essential for keeping the internet a level playing field. If the dot com tld eventually becomes prohibitively expensive for individuals, we will witness even more corporate consolidation of power. Further, the amendment was drawn up without input from registrars. While the deal with Verisign might seem lucrative for your organization, it would ultimately be detrimental for the internet at large. Thank you, John Robinson 1131 Virginia Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30306

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Oppose .COM price increases
by LJ E Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I oppose the approval of increased prices for Verisign who would 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. Leslie Estes

by Claudio Bizzotto Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To whom it may concern, I oppose amendment #3, which will substantially increase the cost of /.com/ domains in favor of an organization that doesn't contribute to the Internet community in any significant way. Selling out to Verisign behind closed doors? Again? Have some self-respect, ICANN. How can you be so cheap/sissy? Your kids must be proud of you...

Consultation is important raising the domain price isn't a viable option and only makes it harder for other generations to enjoy what we have. Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the needs of the future generations....

Hi, Been informed of your proposed changes by my domain name registrar. My domain is an academic one that just has my research work and CV. This is not like a business domain that earns money. Such hikes are bound to hurt me thoroughly, also considering that I don't earn anything meaningful in academia. Please make such considerations before making drastic changes. Thanks. James

by Chuck Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To Whom it May Concern Regarding apparent price increases without a full and transparent needs justification is totally unacceptable. As a domain holder/buyer, I demand a full, public justification of any price increases over and above a reasonable and customary inflationary increase.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Opposition against .com price increases
by Dan Velasco Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I would like to voice my opinion, I strongly oppose the price hike of .com for the next 10 years that iCANN and verisign have agreed on. This does not benefit the consumer. It hurts the consumer, and it hurts the internet. This price hike is unnecessary. Costs have not gone up, thus there’s no reason to raise prices. The internet belongs to our society, to the people, and it should be accessible. When you increase the price of .com this will snowball into price increases with everything linked to the internet because .com is a big part of the internet. This will hurt and decrease accessibility to the internet by the consumer. And the internet is of and for the people. Plus iCANN has received 20 million dollars from verisign and they have not disclosed what it’s for. It’s only a sign that there is some undisclosed business that will hurt the consumer and only benefit iCANN and Verisign. Please put a stop NOW to this proposed rate hike of 10 projected years. Please save accessibility to the internet. Thank you.

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

Feb. 11, 2020

I am a small business owner and registrant of a .com domain name that is vital to my small businesses success. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. The internet is supposed to be a place to allow people to come together and democratize voices, not filter out voices to only those that can afford the luxury. 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. In our modern society, the public interest is regular being railed against by corporations, lobbyists, and special interest groups. Please stand up and support the public interest (fulfill your role and protect against corporate greed). Ryan Richmond, Virginia United States

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] verisign situation
by Loot n Booty Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

greetings, I realize the people that pay and use the internet have absolutely no control in this matter. it is typical practice in business to create a need for people , suck them in and then screw them to their limits. Wal-Mart is an example of that , but that will be in the near future. all I can say about this that you are doing to us may hopefully get regulated as some of us begin to lobby to the government that this likely is a monopoly and therefore subject to legislative control. that is my hope. but I personally have no hooks in me like the hundreds of millions of registered .coms that you will inevitably fuck senseless, I can drop my .coms they don’t mean enough to me that would allow me to be fucked like that! so you give in to your dark side, take the bait and hope it doesn’t bite you in your own ass! ciao!

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Objection: ICANN Allows .COM Price Increases
by Updatednet Support Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

ICANN This result is that the company that controls almost 80% of the registrar pricing for domain names will compete directly with all domain registrars, maximizing its control of domain name pricing to the detriment of other competing registrars. While this might result in lower prices to consumers, fewer registrars will harm competition, choice, and domain name services. Regards, Support

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please DO NOT enact this amendment!
by Daniel J. Lewis Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I was appalled to learn about ICANN and Verisign's impending changes to domain registration. I hold almost 100 .com domains, and the new amendment could lead to a 70% price increase for my domains in only 10 years and with no apparent added value. Domains should be getting cheaper, not more expensive! It's also insulting that this was no brought to the Internet community far in advance. It really gives the impression that ICANN and Verisign have conspired to increase their own profits and create a monopoly over the domain market. Please, for the good of the Internet, do not go through with this amendment! Faithfully, Daniel J.
