[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comment for Verisign Contract
by Jamie Lehman Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

The ability for anyone on the internet to be free to go out and create their own website at an affordable price should be protected. The allowed increases by Verisign to the .COM top level domain prices pose a serious threat to this. ICANN clearly needs more money for system infrastructure, but allowing Verisign to provide this funding is not worth all of the strings attached. Increasing the 18 cent ICANN fee per domain to something more sustainable (like a few bucks instead) and asking dues from it's shareholders should be the way to raise money for more infrastructure, not letting Verisign have a largely unregulated Monopoly on internet domains.

Dear Sirs, I object to the proposed increases in .com (and any other) domains. Increases such as are proposed, will mean that I will purchase and use less and less domains, instead of increasing them and I am sure others will do the same, therefore cutting your income! I therefore recommend that you keep any increases to an absolute minimum in order to keep your income stream steady and increasing - and not decreasing as they surely will if you go ahead with the increases as proposed! Yours sincerely, S. Dittrich.

To whom it may concern I am against the proposed .com Price increases and proposals. This is unfair as you hold a monopoly on this. It's not like one can choose to go elsewhere.

I do not agree to this back hand secret deals when it effects every customer worldwide. The keeping increasing prices are just making them only available to the select rich few plus the company being paid money that isnt known what its for or if its dedicated to the investment of the domain system and that only not for people to profit from. This decision isn't made with the effects of millions of customers around the world. I am disappointed at the dark side secret deals that effect people worldwide

by Jessica Bairefoot Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I have 2 domains and I recommend namecheap to all my business affiliates. Because we redirect our given long website links for our customers. With namecheap we are able to customize our own link and redirect to the corporate link. This allows our customer to see our branded name while connected with ease. We usually are already paying for the corporate link..plus name cheap domain. Please do not drive up rates.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com Registration Price Increases
by Kevin Bender Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I’d like to express my concern and disapproval regarding the potential for .com domain names to increase in terms of registration cost. While I can understand the desire to increase the cost for registering .com domains, .com domains undoubtedly provide more potential visibility for smaller entities. If you want to encourage people to use other top-level domains, then you should do so by ensuring that the prices for those other top-level domains DECREASE to the point that .com domains are less attractive from a cost perspective. You SHOULD NOT increase the cost of .com domains to make them less accessible to smaller entities, however, as that only encourages abuse by larger entities with more resources by forcing smaller entities to compromise on visibility. I would, however, be in favor of .com price increases on the basis of how many .com domains a single entity owns to discourage domain squatters/scalpers from sitting on a bunch of domains for financial gain. Furthermore, I’d be in favor of .com price increases on the basis of total revenue so larger entities pay more for .com domain registrations while allowing smaller-scale companies and individuals to continue having access to the .com top-level domain.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Carlos Escobar Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I disagree with his decision to increase the value of .COM domains. This would negatively affect people who, like me, are from developing countries, where our economies are small and that access to a domain name could become extremely expensive, condemning many to lose the domains they already acquired. Personally as an entrepreneur this would be a blow to my business, so I ask you to give up that decision.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Not okay with the recent price increase deal made in secret
by Lisa Barrett Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Dear Sirs/Madams, I am writing to formally complain about the significant changes recently made in the contract with Verisign. These changes were made in secret, without consulting or incorporating feedback from the ICANN community or Internet users. Although ICANN has a history of making similar deals behind closed doors, and also of ignoring unified opposition against such action, this is not okay. I am writing to publicly denounce the price increases that will harm internet users and are anti-democratic. Cancel this decision immediately. Thank you, Lisa Barrett INSEAD MBA
