[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .COM Price increases
by Philip Carlson Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

So long so many individuals, companies, and businesses rely on the fair price of the .COM to reach further than their street corners. Please don’t hurt us that need this space to promote our work and voice. Keeping the price locked in where it has been will help keep all of us successful in our lives. Philip Carlson FatherT.I.E.

Dear Sir/Madam: I am writing to oppose Proposed Amendment 3. Despite there clearly being potential financial gains to be had by raising the registration fee on .com domains, the global DNS registration system should be run primarily as a public concern. The only entities that stand to benefit from the proposed arrangement are verisign itself, at the expense of the public. While price hikes such as this likely won't mean much to the larger business concerns that buy in bulk, it will impact the millions of small, independent businesses and developers that rely on the system as is to make their livelihood. At worst, this could prove yet another point of pressure that convinces a small business to make their online presence exclusively in the Facebook walled garden and eschew the web itself. The web, and global DNS, were envisioned to be run for the public good, and they SHOULD be run for the public good. Deals such as this are an abdication of that mandate; short sighted profit chasing at the expense of all else. Please do not adopt this proposal.

I read with dismay that .com domain name prices are subject to significant price increases in the coming years. This is not acceptable and it's also considered to be an clear demonstration of exploitation. DO NOT ABUSE YOUR POSITION OF TRUST! Signed, Christoper Silverthorne.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com price increase
by Dave D Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

To whom it may concern, This change more then likely has no direct impact on you "high up executives" in any form other than beefing up your salaries to "go with the flow" of what the person paying you is asking for. Well for us "normal" people who live paycheck to paycheck this change that you decided to go forward with without asking any icann community members which is beyond bad business practices sure as hell impacts us. This increase is in an area you really have no business being in because we are the owners of the. Com domains we purchased. That's the problem with executive and politicians they always stick their nose where it doesn't belong and force people to make changes and live in ways they are exempt from. For once in your lives out yourself in another person's shoes and quit thinking with your wallet. People are affected.

ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. Verisign has no place in dictating prices. An argument can be made that adjustment for inflation could be made, but this agreement seems goes way beyond that. I oppose this proposed change. Thank you, Wyatt Ciomperlik

by David Grosser Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

This new deal with Verisign looks very shady. In the past, I respect ICANN as a neutral regulator of domain registry, but with the closed door deal with Verisign which allows Verisign to raise prices with little accountability and directs investment in ICANN, this smalls very problematic. It also harms my business. Dave Grosser You+EMR Your innovation made practical, with provider reality dave(a)youplusemr.com<mailto:dave@youplusemr.com> 612.516.6648

Dear ICANN, We operate two small businesses and have received notification of the pending increases to .com domain names. Small business is the lifeline of both consumers and the nation and any excessive and consistent increase in fees erodes our ability to operate profitable, which in turn affects our employees as well. We strongly object to the proposed agreement with Verisign which will have a detrimental effect to many hundreds of thousands / millions of businesses. We kindly urge your organisation to act in the best interests of consumers and small businesses and avoid these unnecessary fee increases. Thank you. Kind Regards, PAUL ANTOS AFP(r) BA, Adv Dip.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Do not approve the proposed increase to .com registration fees.
by Alana Nelson Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

As owner of multiple domains for my business, I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. It's far too high. No one other than Verisign wants increases in .COM prices. I would love to see a very clear explanation for how this increase is justified given they will not be providing additional services or benefits for the additional cost, and given their profits are high, which means a price increase is not necessary. I understand their may be a need for price adjustment over time, but I'm very interested to know how a 70% increase is being justified ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest, not in the interest of a single company that merely manages the registry. This price increase is anything but in the public interest. I suggest you put the service out to bid if Verisign insists on an increase this ridiculous. They should not be able to increase their profits at the expense of the public just because no other service is allowed to compete.

Feb. 10, 2020

I think we need to relieve ICANN from managing domain name ecosystem, it is a dinosaur organization tending to corrupted deals. We can do it without ICANN these days. Domain names belong to the international community, they should not be managed by a corrupted US organization.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] DO NOT RAISE PRICES
by Hector Barrera Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Do not raise prices. Domain names are already priced high and this revenue is by default annually rendering basically “easy” revenue for ICANN. The organization can function at low costs and continue to receive billions in revenue and growing. — Hector. 818.660.5610
