[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Price Increase to .COM
by Primary Mark Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear ICANN, I am opposed to this radical price increase for .COM registrations, that has been proposed without broad industry support or consultation. The price increases will be damaging to Internet entrepreneurs and will stifle small business. Regards, -Mark Lindsey Web Designer and Web Business Owner

I have a small business running and I can barely pay my yearly domain renewal. My business is targeted at small businesses like mine to whom online presence will make a difference. Our income is not so much. Sometimes it is not even enough. We cannot afford the additional burden of added cost to our domain name renewal. Kindly keep it down and not implement your plan to increase price. Thanks

I don't find your decision and cost increase impacts behind closed doors to be a transparent and beneficial behavior of the organization's that .coms have looked to to manage the internet's best interests. It is wrong and corrupt that you have gone behind our backs to squeeze from us, your end users, unfair and lavish increase of fees year after year to line your pocket without any comissorating benefit or recompense to all of us who have funded you since this market opened. Instead you just bleed our money from us until we no longer have heart to continue. I don't know how I can survive with such backstabbing market at its head. I will indeed defend what is rightfully mine to use without k

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Opposition to the price increase
by Brian Elliot Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To whom it may concern, When I heard of the upcoming price increase for .com domains, I was very disappointed to hear. The affordable prices of .com domains has allowed me to create several businesses with very little capital, and has democratized that opportunity for everyone. I strongly oppose the proposed price increases. Thanks, Brian

The average cost of $15 is already high for something that you must keep paying annually. Please keep the prices low, and be transparent.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] I do not agree with the price increases.
by Daniel Argumedo Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hi, I hereby wish to report my discomfort due to the intention of increasing the prices of the .com domain registration services. I want to start by saying that this would bring serious consequences regarding the development of many students, small and medium entrepreneurs, since by increasing these costs, we will find ourselves in the painful task of using other types of free web domains or at a lower cost, such that we will expose our personal information. For the above reasons and those who believe all people who disagree with this increase, I formally request that this increase not be made. Thanks in advance.

by Joan Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Where do you get the right to unilaterally change the price on .com domain names behind closed doors without public input or approval? Seriously are you related to Donald Trump? This is Canada not some country run by a demigod. STOP this insanity! I will change my 10 .com sites to a .ca or .info if you do this and you will lose money instead of robbing online entrepreneurs like you plan to. How disgusting. Joan White

The plan to increase .COM prices sounds like a bad idea fueled by a conflict of interest. Verisign puts money towards ICANN who then sets industry rules and standards that benefit Verisign. It doesn't sound like a move that is being made to benefit the industry, the internet, or it's users. It sounds like a move to benefit two companies involved in the deal and that's about it. Andy

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Extremely disappointed
by Drake H Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear ICANN, I am extremely disappointed in the prioritization of revenue over the accessibility of getting a presence on the web. COM domains are one of the most popular and well-regarded TLDs. Millions of people and organizations, small and large, depend on them to conduct their day to day business. I find it grossly disgusting for you to be taking advantage of your stewardship of this resource simply because a large corporation offered you money. I hope that you will take your responsibilities seriously and not trade the accessibilty of the web for a few million dollars.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please don't increase domain prices this way
by Jeffrey Lipnick Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hello, I'm unsettled by the recent deal ICANN has made with Verisign. As someone who owns a domain name and potentially future ones, I'm concerned that this deal only benefits you and not your customers. By being able to increase prices 70% over the next ten years, you are going to make it more and more difficult for small business owners to afford good domain names. Please don't implement a change like this that will be a detriment to small business owners. Thanks, Jeff

by This Star Won't Go Out Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I understand that ICANN has announced significant changes to its contract with Verisign, Inc., and that these changes were made privately, without consulting or incorporating feedback from the community or Internet users. As the director of a nonprofit organization supporting families diagnosed with cancer, I STRONGLY OBJECT to the indicated price increases that will harm my organization, and those dependent on using the Internet as a whole. With .com domains making up 40% of all registered domain names online, this decision will affect most of us. While our primary domain is a .org, we have other programs registered under .com addresses--everyone knows that the advantage of using .com is a greater reach and public use. My understanding is that the agreement with Verisign will allow for increase in domain fees every year for 8 out of the next 10 years, and allow wholesale domain prices to grow by more than 70% over the next 10 years. This will absolutely price typical users like me completely out of the market for .com domains. It seems clear that ICANN is benefiting from these changes, yet there doesn't seem to be clarity about how ICANN will spend the money, or who will oversee that the funds are properly spent on domain infrastructure. I object to this decision, and feel it will create an unfair burden to many nonprofits, small business users, and community organizations that depend on the internet for outreach, fundraising, and more. A much more modest agreement should be considered, one that will not harm typical users like us. Lori Earl Executive Director This Star Won't Go Out 118 Billings Street Quincy MA 02171 TSWGO.org

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Keep price controls for .COM
by Sarah Rowlands Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

There are already too many fees associated with buying a .COM and having a website. Removing price controls for the majority of website domains means many small businesses will suffer, in an age where having a digital presence is of increasing importance. How is this benefiting ANYONE except ICANN? How will ICANN even spend the money? Keep price controls for .COM! Sarah Rowlands

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Contract with Verisign, Inc.
by Elise S Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I strongly oppose the recent changes made to the ICANN contract with Verisign. It is terrible for ICANN to make these changes in secret, without consulting or incorporating feedback from the ICANN community or Internet users. I cannot support changes that will make .COM wholesale domain prices grow by more than 70% over and above current prices over the next decade. I also oppose the other price increases the contract allows for. These changes will ultimately make .COM domains less accessible and more expensive for everyone. It is very shady for Verisign to agree to pay an additional $20 million dollars over five years to support ICANN's domain name system initiatives, without any clarity about how ICANN will spend the money, or who will ensure that the funds are properly spent on domain infrastructure. These changes should be retracted immediately. Thank you, Elise Sumulong

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Bad decision
by ian.muldoon＠gmail.com Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I think this is a bad decision for the future of the internet. Domains should not be prohibitively expensive for start-ups and small business to buy, and I'm afraid that's exactly what will happen with the proposed changes. Thanks, Ian Muldoon

This is ludicrous and I ask you impose more restrictions on than what's currently listed for domain pricing increases. As a small business, we can't afford the domain name increases proposed and would use a different tld if required
