[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comment on proposed amendment
by Michelle Polacinski Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

This potential to increase domain wholesale prices makes the internet inaccessible for everyone. Domains are already very expensive and this could mean a slowing flow of information, a decrease in global education. As a domain owner, I am very concerned over these new proposed changes that do nothing positive other than put more money in ICANN's pockets. Please reconsider, for the sake of society, to enact these changes. Best, Michelle

I find this amendment very disconcerting and believe it will cause the .com TLD to lose popularity as more affordable solutions are available. Please reconsider enacting this amendment. Thank you. Matt S.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM
by Daniel Marku Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Hello , I am a registrant of a .com domain name and streaming solution company. 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. More than this price its not ferry , my proposal is you can lower the price from $7.85 to $7 not to increase. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest, not only to grow for themselfe, and make more money from our pocket. This is serious work we are not playing and you please don’t play with us.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] We do not support amendment 3
by mike dwyer Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I feel that ICANN has not used an open process to adopt this amendment. I am suspicious that the additional money to be paid to ICANN by Verisign is intended for uses that are not clearly identified. I fear that costs will increase inordinately for small operations like mine to keep a .COM domain name registered, and that there will be no recognizable benefit to me or to the broad, global Internet community. Please rescind this action until it has broad support across the Internet communities. Yours, Mike Dwyer Fort Collins, CO USA

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Do not raise the prices of .com registration without consideration to the consumer for such price increase.
by Mark Ebersole Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Sirs: We understand the the costs go up however, there is a reasonable limit. The proposal in place exceeds a reasonable limit without an explanation of the benefits to all parties. This cost increase appears to only benefit the two parties and no other party or entity can reap any benefit for this. The consumer is most hit and this almost guarantees a reduction of the internet and not expansion. Sincerely, Mark Ebersole MLE Tech Cedar Park, TX.

by Mohd Hadihaizil Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

As a registrant of hundreds of .com domain, i totally disagree with the price increase. the current rate is more than suitable for the .com registry to manage the domain. no increase of the .com domain needed, period!

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Domain Price Increase
by Michael Martin Feb. 10, 2020

I think the domain prices are fair the way they are. An increase will discourage people from buying them. In other words, it could hurt sales.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com price increases
by Trevor Brewerton Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Hello there, I have just heard from namecheap that there will be regular price increases over the next 8 years regarding .com domains. It appears that the proposed price increases are somewhat arbitrary, wit no justification being promulgated to support said price changes. Yes, things inevitably go up in price, I would simply like to understand your justification for doing so, after all, this will affect a large number of Internet users in terms of their own internal costs which I have no doubt some of whom will definitely have to justify their own cost structures.

by Sam Stowers Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Hi, As a small-time entrepreneur and student, having easy access to website domains makes my job much easier. Conversely, changes that make domains more expensive for shady reasons make my life, and everyone else's who's not an executive at Verisign or ICANN, harder. Please reconsider the .com domain price decision. Best, -Sam *SAM STOWERS* MINERVA SCHOOLS AT KGI '20. SLUMBER.TECH <https://www.slumber.tech/> *MINERVA*® ACHIEVING EXTRAORDINARY® minerva.kgi.edu

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

Feb. 10, 2020

As a .com customer and user I come under the customer contract agreement and that agreement states that as a customer I have a say and a right to know when it comes to deals as it will impact me. You have done none of the above. Not only have you broken this agreement you have also overlooked the laws set out by the UN. I do not agree to the increase to the .com prices and if you do this to me then you have just forced me into something against my will which is, at its core, a breach of human rights as outlined by the EU and UN. Under no circumstances do you have my permission or consent to set an increase on my domain. Do you understand this? Regards, Turlough Kennedy

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Verisign and ICANN new agreement
by Thomas Graham Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

We received an email from our registrar NameCheap explaining the "deal" Verisign and ICANN have worked out to benefit themselves and subject business owners like myself to pay higher prices for our domains. We would like to be on record as being totally 100% against this type of deal and would like ICANN to revisit these decisions along with the top registrars like NameCheap to work out a Win-Win solution, allowing us all to maintain Trust within the IT industry.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] The cost to small business of .com domains
by Wendy Reese Hartmann Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

"Verisign will be allowed to increase the wholesale price to registrars for .COM domains every year for 8 out of the next 10 years" While I certainly understand the need to raise prices to meet business demand, there is a limit to what that demand commands. As a small business owner, I have to be conscious of every dollar spent. A website is a necessary business expense. The domain should not be a deal breaker. ICANN's decision to make this deal with Verisign was done without notification to the ICANN community. One of the most important rules of business is to know your customer. This decision not only appears that you do not know your customer's, you simply do not care about us. That is tragic. Please limit the price increases. Give small businesses a chance to succeed. Give us the opportunity to play on an equal playing field. Wendy Reese Hartmann, owner Whole Being Inc Gotahold Brewing Company
