[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] KEEP price caps for .coms
by Travis Hinkle Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I’m opposed to the lifting of price caps for .com TLDs. I believe that the internet is an open marketplace that should be as affordable as possible for everyone to use. By raising prices on domain registrations and making it difficult for smaller business and individuals to afford to maintain an online presence, you would effectively be hurting the global market, as well as many small business owners’ bottom line. Thanks, Travis

by Patrick Dinehart Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Please stop trying to raise prices. There’s not need for this. I do not support this legislation. Domains help everyone share information and is should be accessible to all. Thank you for taking my comments into consideration. Sent from my iPhone

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] ICANN and Verisign: Hello
by Alexander Tambovsky Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Hello, I think that you should first consult with the companies to whom you are selling domains at a wholesale price before making any changes. It seems unwise not to do that. I believe that there should be more clarity on how the money which is being provided by Verisign is to be spent by ICANN. Thank you, Alexander

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Registration of a .com domain name
by Ruslan Yanyshyn Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I am a registrant of a .com domain name. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. Best Regards Ruslan Yanyshyn

by Justin Dannemiller Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Not one entity controls the internet, and ICANN and Verisign should not be the only two who should be allowed to make decisions that have the potential to affect many internet users and increase cost of owning a website domain name.

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

Feb. 10, 2020

The .com domain is crucial for small business and young companies starting out and we should promote the lowest possible bar possible in order to encourage more commerce and ideas to percolate onto the net. This raising of prices will affect the ones who are least able to afford it. Please consider freezing fees for the next decade.

by Stan Morrow Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I am a registrant of a .com domain name. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. Based on the information given, this is already providing a 200 - 300% profit to Verisign. That should be sufficient. James MorrowBrooksville, Florida United States

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please don't increase our prices for .com
by Scott Ruth Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Small businesses like mine rely on .com sites to gain authority in a market with big businesses and can't afford major prices. Especially when there was no period to discuss or work to better arrangements with the community at large.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Verisign, Inc. contract changes
by Grace Judson Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I am writing to protest the changes to ICANN's contract with Verisign, Inc. It's my understanding that, along with a significant increase ($20 million over five years) in payment from Verisign to ICANN, the contract allows ongoing increases to the wholesale price for .COM domains. It's also my understanding that the payment increase comes without any restrictions or guidelines for how the money will be used by ICANN. As a small business owner relying on my website domain, I vehemently protest this agreement. It will unfairly penalize small businesses who are often operating on a tight budget and need their websites in order to stay afloat - and who will take the biggest hit, proportionate to their revenue and budget, to these price increases.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] I am opposed to ICANN's proposed amendment 3 to the .COM registry agreement
by Jay Hersh Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I am writing to voice my opposition to ICANN's proposed amendment 3 to the .COM registry agreement. As currently proposed the amendment is likely to force a raise in the costs of registration of .com addresses. As someone who has a small business which first registered its domain close to 20 years ago I have seen continued increases over this time but the current proposal is likely to raise costs more than in all that time combined. As such I feel that it is not in the best interests of the public. Jay Hersh 85 Old Farm Lane Hyde Park, VT 05655

by Valberg Már Öfjörð Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Gresstings, These price hikes you intend to implement over the next 10 years are at best a disaster. I own allot of .com domains and having to pay 70% or even more for them so to please Versign, is a bad play. I am not rich and I do not make money of my domains and there are allot of people in my position who cannot afford this price hike. I here by protest this injustice and ask that you rethink this decision, not everything is about money and these $20 million Verisign has promised you is not worth the .com community breaking down because of some greed. If this goes through, I will be forced to dump all of my domains in favor of cheaper domains and I will advice all my clients (as I am a web developer) to do the same.

by Jason Lee Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

To whom it may concern: As a small business owner, it is vial for my domain name costs to be kept low. Small business depend on cheap domain costs in order to stay in business to compete with large businesses. A price increase that you are proposing would make it difficult for new businesses to obtain a unique domain and branding for their business. Thank you, Jason Lee

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] NO to a price increase
by David Berten Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

This is a monopolistic. The burden of a price increase will fall on business and private individuals. Verisign will line their already full pockets with the windfall. Verisign is merely the 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. No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices. The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. I am a registrant of many .com domain names I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. David Berten
