[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Don't let corporations ruin ICANN
by Jesse Salens Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I am writing to voice disagreement with your recent decision to allow Verisign to increase pricing in exchange for them “donating” money to ICANN. While I support ICANN’s attempt to improve the system overall, this boils down to a bribe in exchange for making an incredible amount of money by jacking the prices up beyond the reach of the every day person. I remember when .COM domains were $70 a year and this made it unreasonable at that time to purchase a domain for my own personal and business uses. I also object to allowing Verisign to become a registrar. This operation blends the lines too much between operator and seller. The system we have now works and prevents anyone from becoming too powerful again. I also commented on your attempts to lift price controls on .ORG, .INFO and .BIZ and hope that this time you won’t just be wiping out my comment. I support price controls for domains to make the internet a fair and level playing field for starting a business or even just running a personal website. Don’t allow corporate interests drive us back to an unaffordable state. Regards, Jesse J.

Good evening, I am a veterinarian and have several .com websites that I have purchased. I disagree with this amendment and the changes that you are trying to make which will impact the prices of .com websites. I understand that these comments mean nothing to companies and organizations like yours, as at the end of the day it had to do with how much money YOU pocket. I kindly urge you to consider the people and the users of the domains when it comes to making deals behind closed doors.

The gross misuse of power by ICANN to change the price of .COM domains without input from the community or .COM domain owners. The internet is a place that should embrace communication not making choices behind closed doors that lead to a revenue increase by 20 million dollars.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Prices increasing
by Jonathan Nuñez Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I know prices can’t remain the same forever, however, the way it’s been done isn’t right, increasing prices behind doors without letting everyone who gets affected know isn’t the right thing to do. Make things right by letting people know about what’s going on and create a fair pricing structure. -- [image: photo] *Jonathan Nuñez* Founder, John's IMSecrets john(a)johnimsecrets.com www.johnimsecrets.com <https://johnimsecrets.com/flywheel-review/> My latest post:Flywheel Review: A Better Hosting Solution? <https://johnimsecrets.com/flywheel-review/> <http://JohnNunez2905> <https://www.pinterest.com/JohnNunez2905> Create your own email signature <https://www.wisestamp.com/signature-in-email/?utm_source=promotion&utm_medi…>

by Tian Wang 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.

by Matthew Beall Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

This move is very monopolistic and anti-competitive and such a move invites a legal challenge by governments investigating such practices. Not to mention that these practices are not operating within Article III of transparency and are not helping to provide an equitable and open internet for all. Matt Beall Sent from my iPhone

by Dylan MacDonald Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I strongly object to .COM price increases. $15-$20/year is already a ridiculous price to pay for a completely automated process. Why should the prices increase at all let alone every year for at least the next eight years? Dylan MacDonald San Francisco, CA

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Do Not Raise .Com Prices
by Stacy Caprio Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hi, It is unfair to raise .com prices, as websites that already have them have to continue to pay to renew unless they want to abandon their site. It would decrease site quality and spammers would take over the web buying sites that owners may no longer be able to pay for and keep up. Raising the prices would not accomplish anything except hurt those who already have .com's. Stacy

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] COM Price Increase Concerns
by Scott Henderson Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hi, I just recently was notified that you made a deal with Verisign that will allow them to make significant price increases for .COM domains. I am retired and live on a small pension and what other money I can earn from various internet marketing activities. It is hard enough to make a dollar or two against my competition and now the people who control my preferred domain extension are causing further drain on my financial resources. Yrs I can choose to use other extensions that ar much cheaper, but c’mon, everyone knows that for the most part .COM’s are the most respected and trusted. I do hope that you reconsider this action which will have a big impact on small time users like myself. Thank You for reading my comments. Scott Henderson

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] We say NO to .com price increases!
by Rhonda Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I am a registrant of many .com domains, and am against the proposed price increases to .COM domains. Verisign merely operate the .COM top-level-domain – it has NO business dictating prices. How do you justify increasing the .com domain names fees? What is this huge budget spent on? How was it possible to run the organization 10 years ago when the domain names were significantly lower amount—and now these huge increases? ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. You are not supposed to be a corporation and push your profits to the maximum, but rather keep the internet safe and accessible place to all. Taking this step makes it accessible to a lot fewer people. The price should remain the same, and even decrease over time, with more people buying domains. If this goes through, I will definitely be dumping most of my .coms AND encouraging other online entrepreneurs, influencers and marketers to do the same. Your proposal is absurd and frankly, unacceptable. Miss Gioia

Fees to consumers should not be raised without consumer input. Especially when ICANN doesn't actually oversee .com domains. Verisign is simply lining their own pockets and are not interested in what is in the public's interest.Paul Stewart
