[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Objection to domain price raise
by Jas Rawlinson Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Hello I am writing to object to your proposed price raise for .com domains. Such a significant raise will impact negatively on many small businesses such as myself, and will also force many to migrate away from .com sites. I would like to ask you to reject this proposal. Kind regards, J Rawlinson

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

Feb. 10, 2020

Increase in .com price would seriously affects business for we developers due to hike in cost of maintaining and renewal of package which could lead yo bringing down of many websites. In addition, .com domains will be useless if the price is tho high because many website owner would close down their websites while many new website owners would not go for domain with high cost. Kindly reconsider your decisions. Atoyebi Olawale Regards.

I am disgusted that you are taking money to allow Verisign to raise fees and lining your own pockets. I own several domains, which I keep for fun. I don’t make money off any of them - I maintain the sites purely for fun. I will allow these to all expire if the prices are raised as outlined. Shameful! Jimmie Lightner

These price increases for .com registrations are ridiculous. I’ve just registered my website and I was going to but the dot com but it was $700 so I just registered a dot CO website for $10. You guys will lose more business with these increases. Bad move. Mike Sent from my iPhone

Feb. 10, 2020

Idea of intrnet always based in access to free information. How we recent dealings with Verisign were done behind closed door without any input from other industry members. Please keep the decision making process open and stop increasing the prices of TLDs without checks and balances. Regards, Adarsha sent from handheld, excuse typos.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Reconsider Price Increase
by Anvesh Jhuboo Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Hi, I hereby express my profound surprise and discontentment at the proposed price increase by ICANN. This will significantly impact how many domains I register per year. And with the price increase, I will have to stop the annual renewal of several of the domains I already own. I would hereby urge you to reconsider this decision on the price increase which will be unsustainable for many of us Thanks, Anvesh

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. Luke Elliott-Bateman Auckland, New Zealand

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposal changes
by Azani Fitten Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

The proposed pricing increase for domain names is heartbreaking. There are SO MANY regular citizens (like myself) who decided to step out of the box and follow what they’re passionate about by starting a business, blog, or website. One of the first and scariest steps to take when starting a new passion is creating a website and these price increases only add a barrier to an already intimidating part of the process. Not to mention, the price to start a website in general is already expensive, so increasing prices will no doubt hinder many potential consumers from even buying a domain name just because of the price alone. It’s sad that companies are putting such a hefty price tag on people’s passions!

I am a registrant of a .com domain name. 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. 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. David Sweetman Los Angeles, CA, United States

ICANN has apparently made changes in secret, without consulting or incorporating feedback from the ICANN community or Internet users and I'd like to see more transparency for this and all future changes alike. ᐧ

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

Feb. 10, 2020

To Whom It May Concern, I strongly oppose Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement. If Amendment 3 is approved, .COM wholesale domain prices could grow by more than 70% above current prices over the next decade. These price increases will be prohibitive to many users. It's important that the Internet remain a place where anyone, regardless of income level, can speak their mind by publishing a website. Many users will be forced to lose their existing domain names with the price increase, and many new users will be unable to purchase a new domain. It's crucial that the dissemination of information on the Internet remain open to all. This is why I oppose Proposed Amendment 3. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Marilyn

As a web developer and entrepreneur I am sending this email in regards to the price increases to domain names schedule to change via ICANN and Verisign. With so many expenses now with operating a website, increasing the domain prices does not need to happen. I strongly disagree with this process and request that you do not increase the prices. This decision will impact not only small businesses operating websites but also the people developing them. Do not raise the prices of domain names. Thank you, Craig Smith

The collusion between ICANN and Verisign should be ended immediately. Deals in the shadows does not speak well of either organization. Please put the greed on hold and discuss a plan with transparency.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Keep Domain Prices Down, Please
by Steven Neely Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

We currently live in a world where the internet is an integral part of our daily lives and society as a whole. This means that websites are becoming something more and more people need and will use. One crucial part of that is the domain name, which allows a website/service to be shared and accessed by the world (more easily, though many web hosts require a domain name to be applied to their hosting services). So I feel as though keeping the costs of domain names down is something that is pretty important, considering how it directly affects such a large portion of the world. Sure, the price increase may seem small, but there are many people who use the internet to create and share ideas and who do not have much in the way of funding to begin with. There is the potential to have many talented individuals lose their ability to maintain a website and internet presence. Again, while to many, the dollar amount may seem trivial, but you have to remember all ends of the spectrum, where there are some who could greatly benefit from a TLD, but aren't able to easily afford it.
