[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Your proposed price increase
by Bob Spiel, MBA Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Dear Icann, In a day and age when the cost of technology continues to become less and less expensive as economies of scale are realized, it seems very odd that you would propose raising your own fees for the work you do in the Internet. Fee increases only fatten pockets while decreasing innovation. It’s a lose-lose in the end. Please keep things competitive for those who use your services every day. It’s the right thing to do, now and in the long run. [signature_1304327505] President – Spiel & Associates, Inc.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Favors Big Corporations & the Wealthy
by Robert Hill Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

This proposed change will increase the cost of registrations of domain names, including those of independent hobbyists like myself. I am not part of a corporation, I do not make money from my dot com websites. By allowing additional price increases for domain names, that will inevitably get pushed down to the buyers, you will be hindering the ability of individuals, especially those without means, to participate in the inherent democracy of the Internet. Large companies & the rich are able to absorb such price increases, but many individuals are operating on already-stretched budgets. Please reconsider the effect your policies will have on "the little people" and do not allow this. Thank you. -- Robert Hill rdhill316(a)gmail.com

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Amendment 3
by Anthony DeCrescenzo Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I am a registrant of over 100 .com domain names. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. This would have a negative effect on my business and STRONGLY oppose this move. No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices. Other GTLDS have been able to lower costs. 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.

I am vehemently opposed to your closed-door negotiation with Verisign that will allow them unfettered fee increases for .com domains. You’ve been bribed, we are watching, and believe it or not, Trump-like corruption WILL be punished. Dave Menefee

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] You are not fit for purpose
by Craig Brown Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I don’t understand why ICANN can be in charge of .com domain names where they can keep increasing prices when they can’t do the job of regulating the domain names ? I have told ICANN numerous times about criminal .com websites. Here’s an example from last November yet the criminal websites are still there. https://twitter.com/FoxieWebDesign/status/1199903345772646401 <applewebdata://DD9CCB86-00CB-4B54-82B5-208D0C43460C/design-kink.com> Craig Brown Designer 0409818316 <http://design-kink.com/> Design-Kink design-kink.com <https://design-kink.com/> Foxie Web Design foxiewebdesign.com <https://foxiewebdesign.com/> <http://facebook.com/designKink> <https://twitter.com/slinkyandsnudis> <https://google.com/+DesignKinkSydney> <http://youtube.com/followusstudio> <http://www.linkedin.com/in/craigbrowndesign> <http://instagram.com/designkink> <http://www.pinterest.com/DesignKink/>

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Price increases can only stifle internet growth
by Rick Vale Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

To whom it may concern, Reading over Amendment 3, it has become evident that its sole purpose is to make more money. With the internet being an absolute necessity for first world living in this day and age, increasing prices does nothing but line corporate pockets with more money and limiting access to new and innovative ideas and messages. Amendment 3 is a tax on freedom. The internet belongs to the world now. Any attempt to increase pricing and limit people’s ability to create new content and share new ideas in any way is an affront on the human race. I vehemently disagree with this amendment and hope that you can see fit to continue freezing .COM pricing into the foreseeable future. At the very LEAST, you should be including registrars in the conversation. If I have misread this amendment and it in fact does NOT allow for .COM pricing to be increased, I apologize and retract this comment. Thank you, Rick Vale

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Rate increase in .com domains
by monte agee Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

My first domain I ever acquired for my business was in 2001, and I still have it today. It helps single my profession out from the sea of individuals on social media. So it has a huge impact on my day to day and always has. I’ve recently added 2 domains to my small business this past year, Updated my website for my business from the ground up and I hope that I get to keep all of the domains in the future. I would hate to have to choose which one I would keep while dropping the others to leave open for competitors. I suppose I could just drop all of them and do it the old fashioned way. Word of mouth always seems to be the icing on the cake for the most part. Technology is only a convenience in the end. Regards, Monte

by Kanwei Li Feb. 10, 2020

Please don't increase the fees on dot coms. This goes against the free nature of the Internet and giving the one monopoly Verisign more control would be detrimental to everyone.

by Shafa B Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Hi Icann, Do not authorize the price increase for .com domains! Increasing the price does nothing beneficial for consumers and owners of the domains. Increasing the price would only harm owners of these domains. Thank you, Shawn

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] AGAINST DOMAIN PRICE INCREASES
by Jeremy Wright Feb. 10, 2020

I am against the increase in price of .com domains. There are already plenty of domains that are priced too high due to squatters and those with no intention of using the domains. Keep the internet open and away from private interests. Jeremy Wright

Re: [Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Changes to Pricing .com
by Kuan Yew Tan Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

It's been brought to my attention by Richard of Namecheap that there are proposed changes that may result in increased prices for the .com domain name. The lack of transparency for the additional funding and the proposed price increases without any valid benefits to the end user is not something that as a customer, I would endorse. Should you continue this path, me, along with my peers will endorse a different TLD e.g. .org or an alternative. Kuan Yew Tan
