[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Just don't do it
by Máté Rácz Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

After the .org fiasco, why would you even consider messing with the .com TLD? Especially getting in bed with Verisign... Please don't do it.

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

Feb. 10, 2020

Hello, I am a registrant of a .com domain name, which is not used in a manner that generates sufficient income to support excessive cost. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains, as I can only justify holding onto this domain if the price remains low. No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices. They are merely your manager of the .COM Registry – they has no business dictating the price. 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, and this is clearly outside that mandate. Regards, David Van Ee Vancouver, BC, Canada

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] ICANN and Verisign Comment
by G Guy Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I know that you have to grow businesses and make new impacts but this decision will kill many people’s access to the same opportunity that you’re building for yourselves. Some of us are students, and very small business owners, who for years have relied on the system you were already operating within. It worked, it wasn’t broken and didn’t need fixing. I really hope you reconsider but if you don’t please remember that greed doesn’t fare well in the long run. I wish you the best as you consider your next business venture. -- Gabrielle *MA, BA (Hons) * www.gabrielle-guy.com

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Object to proposed price changes
by John Tarnoff Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I object to the proposed price changes for .com domain registration. As a small business owner and consultant with approximately 50 domains registered, these increases are unfair and unwarranted. They do not represent any reflection of inflation-related economics and seem to be arbitrary. This is simply price gouging that winds up impacting small businesses like mine with little recourse. I urge you to keep your current pricing, or move to increases that are based on cost-of-living data. John Tarnoff Reinvention Group LLC 4937 Loleta Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90041

Economies of scale dictate that this should be getting cheaper over time, not more expensive.

Not right to increase prices for just getting $20M USD. Instead a solution would be to seek funding from host providers and charge royalties over forever rather than sell priveledges for a short 5 years. Short term focus with problems for the future for your organization Sent from my iPhone

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Response to Increasing Domain Prices
by Nathan Rokusek™ Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

As a working student, fire volunteer, and local web developer, increasing the prices of domain names is another way for companies to ruin the opportunities for hard working individuals. I own 3 domains, both for personal and professional reasons. While owning these domains is relatively inexpensive, the increase in price will affect my yearly expenses. I hope you can understand that raising domain prices is completely and utterly wrong to do to hard working citizens. Thank You

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Against price increases
by James Lindley-Ellis Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I am wholeheartedly against removing price caps on .com domains and feel this will harm small businesses and individuals across the globe that rely on an online presence. These price increases only put more cost pressure on small business and families that have a family domain. I am strongly against increasing prices so sharply and quickly.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Disagree with Upcoming Verisign Deal for .com Domains
by Joshua Clayton Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Hi, I am writing in opposition to the proposed Verisign deal with respect to .com domains. I believe the current arrangement should be kept and strict price controls from ICANN should be preserved for .com domains. Verisign has no business exerting control or influence over ICANN, and the deal as proposed will be bad for consumers and anyone who holds a .com domain. Please do not proceed with the proposed changes. Thanks, Joshua Clayton, MD

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Don't raise prices of .com domains!
by Carson Cass Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

.com domains are the homes for many websites. By raising the price for them, websites will move away to newer domain extensions. This will make the internet suffer as a whole. With websites moving around it will be harder to find them.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] disappointed in rate increase
by Hillary Frank Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I'm writing to express my disappointment and anger over the contract changes ICANN recently made with Verisign, which will result in major price increases for NameCheap customers. I run an independent business and I hold several domains with NameCheap. This change would have a significant impact on my ability to retain some of these domains. I urge you to reconsider the contract terms.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Regarding Verisign Contract Changes and Potential Price Increases
by Justin Hayden Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Hello, This contract leaves open the door for significant increases in the cost of .COM domain ownership, something that is already prohibitive. If Verisign is willing to pay $20 million to be able to increase their prices, I can’t even imagine how much profit they’re projecting. This is clearly an attempt to increase profit margins from a service that is wholly monopolized and should be publicly funded and owned. Public funds researched, developed, and built the internet as we know it. This is an anti-competitive decision that undermines the accessibility to and affordability of the internet. Please do not hijack it further in order to make even more money for yourselves. Justin

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Way too much secrecy.
by Edgar Orendain Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Not outlining the use of the price increases, along with the incredibly suspicious increase to ICANN's revenue over the next few years spells absolute disaster/corruption in an industry that is to be leading the democratization of the internet.

by Jose M Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

The public stands in opposition to the recent deal between ICANN and Verisign. We adamantly reject the ability to arbitrarily raise prices through monopoly power. The consumers demand competitive prices for domain names to promote the free flow of information. This is essential to democracy. We reject the recent deal between ICANN and Verisign. -Jose Molero

As if it weren´t enough burden to us, people who don´t make money out of the Internet, to pay for a webhost, now we also have to deal with price increases in the domain names? Please, say NO to price increases on the domain names...
