[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com price increasing
by Earth Julia Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Very appreciated for service with registration domain names. But can't understand for what I have to pay more money for domain .com? For 1 field in database which is nothing in total. I think price for any domain names can't be increased. Otherwise it's just speculation on people needs. Thank you.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Do not accept Amendment 3
by Daniel DeCovnick Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Amendment 3 is a giant kickback scheme that will only lead to increases in prices for consumers, helping no one. I urge you to vote against its adoption.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com price hike
by Kenneth Koh Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Let's be frank. Nobody likes price hike. So when we were told that .com price is going to increase, nobody likes it. Nor anyone will vote for it. But we all know inflation is unavoidable. So, if the price increase in .com is in line with inflation rate of say 2%, I think that is justifiable. But from the news I'm hearing, Verisign is given the freedom to increase the price by as much as 70% over 10 years. That is too much. Regards, Koh Yih Ming A .com user for 15 years.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Don't raise .com
by Stephen Davis IV Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Raising the price of .com is going to seriously harm those of us who are trying to secure their digital footprint without paying a ridiculous amount of money. These changes would seriously change my ability to buy domain. I whole heartedly disagree with this decision

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] My Opposition to Amendment 3
by Amit Ramani Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

It is the year 2020. We do not need price increases for .COM domains. Maybe in the year 1995, not 2020. I am voicing my strong opposition to the price increases. These price increases are un-needed. The current pricing should be amended to reduce the .COM registration and renewal prices. Sent from Mail for Windows 10

I simply don’t want to see the prices adjust from the model we currently have. In the way that people would support a small businesses.

I am against the office increases on . Com names. If anything, barriers to entry would be lowered, not increased over time

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

Feb. 11, 2020

I am absolutely opposed to the Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement and appalled by the obvious lack of transparency. This proposal is a perfect example of today's elite making business decisions that put more money into their executives' pockets while also benefiting their stakeholders by gouging their customers. ICANN's lack of concern for those purchasing .com domains is disgusting.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Maintain Price Caps
by Rogers, James R. Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Please maintain the existing price caps for TLDs. Accepting a "donation" from Verisign in exchange for permitting increased pricing is highly questionable.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] what purpose does this price increase entail?
by Steven Vallarian Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Nothing. Nothing at all. The creation of a cost for an idea is near zero, and the amount already collected for .com is more than plenty. Taking more for no good reason is not a good reason to do so!

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

Feb. 11, 2020

Hi Team, I see no reason for a price increase. The current pricing drives around $1,146,800,557.55 (1.1B) in revenue. That is a ton of money. Running a price increase increases it about $80,276,039.03. That is $80 mil! Just in one year without having to help invent a better internet. There is no reason for a price increase as the .com is an ever growing TLD. Just because there was a previous pricing structure doesn't mean that it is the way to go. I vote "no" to the pricing change. The other initiatives to prevent security abuse is fine. Pricing no, security yes. Please amend this to exclude the price change. Revenue should come from an innovation standpoint, not a price increase. Thanks!

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.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] No to Proposed Amendment 3
by Ian Clark Smith Feb. 11, 2020

A price increase for .COM benefits is unnecessary and provides no additional value to anyone except Verisign. Such policy is harmful to the web and ICANN's mission.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] I do not agree at all
by José Sevane Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I do not agree at all with the proposed increase of the .com price. This is just about Verisign trying to get some easy money. The .com price is already too high but never is enough isn’t? It’s all about money, well, we will see how democratic ICANN is. To be honest I don’t expect absolutely nothing from ICANN, I think they will get some good money from this too. That’s why they are trying to do it. And who will read all this comments anyway? I don’t know, enjoy the robbery ICANN. Regards. Jose Fernandez

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .COM TLD Amendment
by Gavin Siver Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Please do not enact this amendment. I understand deals have traditionally been made in the privacy of company quarters, but operating websites are extremely expensive. While large corporations can absorb these costs, the price increases allowed for the 8 out 10 years for .COM registration will disproportionately affect the medium and start-up businesses in the web space. Medium and start-up businesses will then refer these charges into to their clients. Large corporations use large web adminstration companies. Medium and start-up sized corporations cannot afford those costs, and will not inherit the wholesale increase, but rather a surcharge upon that making website adminstration less feasible for businesses wishing to provide competition to the few large players in the field. Please reconsider the .COM TLD price increase. The other changes I take no issue with, but sincerely believe the price increases are improper and immature.

I am opposed to the proposed 7% annual price increases for .com domains. Within 10 years, .com domains could cost as much as 70% more than the current wholesale price of $7.85. I am opposed to allowing Verisign to operate as a domain name registrar. Allowing the company that controls almost 80% of registrar pricing for domain names to compete directly with all domain registrars will harm competition, choice, and domain name services.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] NO to .COM price increases
by Todd Miller Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I submit that the agreement between ICANN and Verisign should be modified to significantly limit, or better yet put a moratorium on, price increases related to the .COM domain registry. This is nothing but a pure money grab on Verisign's behalf, signed off on by ICANN. There is no transparency into the need for any such increases in fees, and no accountability on how the money is spent or what benefit it will provide to the wider COM domain community. I respectfully ask that the agreement be thrown out until a much more transparent and restrictive price increase policy can be implemented. Sincerely, Todd Miller
