[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] iCANN, Verisign Deal
by Alex Ewetumo Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I very much do not agree with the massive price increase and two sided discussions going on just between you and Verisign. Any price increase should consider the thoughts of users like me. Please review and open up this process for transparency before this is done. Alex Ewetumo

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Rejection
by Rami Al Halabi Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I would like to express my rejection to this ammendment and the additional cost it will incur on small businesses and personal domain owners without any clear understanding about where the funds are being spent. This is and unfair exercise of monopoly by ICANN and Verisign. I hope this doesn't go through and become a class action lawsuit in the future. Rami Al Halabi Sent from Gmail on Galaxy Note 9

I believe that fair prices should be set for .com domains. Please fight to ensure that individuals and small business owners can continue to maintain.com addresses going forward. -- Kaleb M. Pask mobile: 817.313.4007 <http://www.teampask.com>

" to preserve and enhance the security and stability of the Internet" " the domain name marketplace had grown more dynamic and concluded that it was in the public interest that, among other things, Verisign and ICANN may agree to amend the .COM Registry Agreement to permit an increase to the price for .COM registry services" It's strange how it seems like the public (re: see all the comments submitted) seem to think that it's NOT in our interest as domain name holders for ICANN to agree to allow the monopoly Verisign has to profit even more. I do NOT agree with this amendment. By increasing the price of .COM you are making it harder for less-privileged individuals to obtain a domain name and creating a strain on the public. This is not in the public interest. This does not enhance the stability of the internet.

Strongly opposed to the increases in costs for .com domains. While I might be a small user of said domains, it will definitely affect myself if the increases indicated are allowed to increase. I am sure there are other ways to raise funds if they are really needed. Thank you. Sincerely, David Buckner 1207 N Minnesota Ave Shawnee, OK 74801 405-788-5259

I believe this amendment should not be adopted. Such a change should never be made unilaterally and in secret. This amendment would hurt small businesses and individuals disproportionately hard. Please do not adopt it. Sincerely, Tim Kampa utf8=✓ authenticity_token=GqIzS3YWey1OOnnkzsYda3hrI1eXl9JuzMTDMqOosxZiRJpUBgzZEkO+Jqj40xnLU9cgibnT8kCAcWFHMwwaDw== terms_of_services=yes commit=Continue

Hi, Please do not increase fees for .com domains and other domains. There are many hobbyists and small businesses out there who do not have the extra cash to pay for expensive domain names. Thank you for understanding. Stay awesome, Zell

You are killing the goose that laid the golden egg. Wake up, don’t increase prices just because you can. It will backfire.

I object to the agreement that would allow .COM domain price can increased anytime within next 10 years. I surely will not continue to use .COM domain if the agremeent isnt canceled.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed .com Price Changes
by Ben Avenell Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear Sir/Madam, I am a registrant of a number of .com domains. I would like to publicly state that I believe the potential proposed price increase on .com domain names to be unjustified and immoral. If such a move were to go ahead, there’s a strong possibility that I would not renew nor register new .com domain names because of it. That’s not a threat; I am a registrant of many other top level domains and have no strong preference for .com that would override a price disparity such as is proposed. Thank you for reading and I do hope you do the right thing. Kind regards, Benjamin Avenell

To whom it may concern, By making this change it will affect many small businesses, volunteer-driven projects, fundraisers, and individuals alike. It will make .com domains less obtainable and harder to maintain. At this point, the only reason I can see for this action Is selfish greed. Please reverse this diction to allow small community sites and many other small sites to continue with the tight budgets they run on. Thank you, Dakota Slicer

by Kristina Mari Cepeda Feb. 11, 2020

If prices go up, the consumer will obviously be hit with increases, which just prices us less well-off people right out of such services. It isn't fair to do this to consumers, so stop.

.com's are the back bone to the entire internet. It should be affordable and cheap for all users to join in. So no to the proposed ammendments and yes to keeping .coms affordable

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed price increase
by Meg Smith 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. 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. Meg Smith New York City, NY

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] I Oppose .COM Price Increases
by Jeff Marshall Feb. 11, 2020

Why were the terms for the .COM agreement negotiated in private? The price increases for this TLD can significantly hurt my small business, especially in this economic climate where I would be pressured out of business by larger ones.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Outraged
by Jonathan Bright Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

The public is outraged that this decision has been made without any input from anyone other than ICANN and Verisign. Domain price increases over the next several years will increase barriers to entry for many small businesses and force businesses to incur increasing expenses without any benefit to them. These changes will have significant impact on the Internet for years to come, and only ICANN and Verisign have participated in this decision. I sincerely hope you will consider the public at large in this decision without moving forward. Jonathan Bright

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] This is unacceptable
by Karthik Vijayakumar Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I have been a consumer and creator on the internet for over two decades. The internet has only become more open and accommodating to people over these years. Getting a domain name for a business is the first step for any business to register its online presence. Many of these businesses are small. A good number of them are reluctant to get online, but agree to do it after seeing how it’s helping other businesses. Increasing the prices of .COM domain names, which are the fundamental domain name for businesses, takes internet back by many years. It will make the internet less attractive because many cannot afford these high costs. As a leading authority in the internet, ICANN is setting a wrong example for other internet-enabling companies to follow suit and increase prices. Please stop this. Don’t take internet back to the dark ages.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] My comment: Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Long Hung Nguyen Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Increasing the price of domain names at this rate certainly will inhibit the business of me personally, of many business startups in my country and in other developing countries. Increasing domain name costs will lead to increased hosting costs, bandwidth costs are out of the influence? The price increase was mentioned just in time when the whole world was afraid of the danger of 2019-nCOV virus spreading. It will certainly cause many economies to suffer the most, especially in Asia, which is the region with the top internet development. I and many of my clients have shared with us about the difficulties when all everyone stopped working for 2 weeks and continued at home for at least the next 1 to 2 weeks. In my opinion, the author of the price increase initiative should replace this decision with any other initiative that will more positively affect the regional and global economic situation, helping the community to overcome this problem early in the time to come.
