by Christa Hoyland Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Business and individuals using the .com suffix cannot afford a 75% increase over the next decade. Keep the domain name suffix charge reasonable to allow continued e-commerce to thrive and grow. A concerned small business owner. Christa Hoyland Sent from Mail for Windows 10

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please don't raise the prices
by Bert Luxing Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Hi, I heard you are making amendments so that .com domains will steadily increase in price over the next 10 years. You know its hard enough for us bloggers to make a living as it is. I am appalled that you are accepting corporate money in exchange for "relaxing" pricing regulations. I beg you not to let this go through.

by Eve West Bessier Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Dear ICANN and Verisign, I am strongly apposed to the price increases for domain names. It's important that the internet remain diverse and accessible to all at an affordable price for domains, especially for small businesses and individuals.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Complaint regarding Proposed Fee Increases
by Jay Altman, DVM Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Letter to Icann This is to let the organization know that a fee increase of such magnitude, even spread over 4 years will be severely burdensome to our business. It will drive costs to a point in which we may have to scale back some activities. I think the increase is extreme and will affect many small businesses such as ours.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] changes need to be proportional
by Chris Dyer Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

In reference to the domain name contract. These proposed changes would be a burden for small business owners who's overhead is already at a premium. Domain names should remain a nominal cost to businesses that have small websites that make a big difference to their online presence. Being able to afford an online name should be in reach for even the newest entrepreneurs. Any agreements about domain names should think about the smallest user. Not the largest user or profit.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Amendment 3 feedback
by Bill Hildebrand Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

It appears to me that Icann seems to be putting their best interests first and even pulling some underhanded deals rather than thinking about the best interests of the people who buy domains. Many of us are just small business people who can't afford the big price increases that you seem to feel are justified for .com domains. I guess those millions you will be getting from Verisign have somehow made you decide that we don't count in your business dealing. Shame on you. Disgusting to say the least. I as I am sure many others are asking you to reconsider your deal and stop these price increases that will have a detrimental effect throughout much of the industry. William Hildebrand

by Monica Foster Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Totally and completely against it! Completely unfair to the consumer, there has been little to no transparency with regard to this decision. This is more like a sucker punch we didn’t see coming. I would ask you to please reconsider stealing from us. Thank you!

by Myh Myh Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Dear ICANN, Your users for the .com TLD was not merely for corporate (eventhough it is design for, as .com = company), but also involves Small Businesses and Individual who are using this TLD to endeavor and take advantage of the internet business or to promote themselves on the net. The proposed rate increment will affect all of us (Individual user and Small Business user), as we will have to spend more every time for the renewal of our domains. Meanwhile, most corporate or large companies, they don't even care about it, since domain renewal is a small portion of their total revenue (might be 0.01%). We the individual and small business are the most affected since we do not have much revenue as what large corporate have. I am requesting for ICANN to review your proposed amendment and give justice/fair treatment for all of us, especially in terms of domain costs (registration and renewal). Even ICANN fee is already tolerable enough for us. Increment over period of several years as agreed by ICANN with Verisign is unfair for us. Thank you.

I’m a small business owner and I would like to plead on my behalf on all other stakeholders with the TDL “.COM” which ahs helped make my business grow and helped me stay afloat with my customers, with little money. The increase would affect my business and even make transactions more hard to keep up with. I implore you to hold on and let adjust to changes before you make them.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Exactly what is the point?
by Josh Morales Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Exactly what is the point of the comment period? This country no longer makes decisions based on the collective will of the majority of its citizens; it does so based on who will make the most money, especially for the people involved in making those decisions. Prove me wrong by acting on behalf of the vocal majority, but why on earth would you do that when there is money to be made?

I am a domainer (I invest in domain names as a business). I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. If you have a steady price and there is no price increments during the next years, you will have more earnings as people will invest more in hand registrations. Furthermore as internet gains popularity worldwide and 5G networks are becoming a reality, cheap .com domains will be affordable for anyone in the world. The measure you are promoting will reduce .com registrations and people will register more domains in other tlds or cctlds instead of Com. Athens, Attica Greece

To Whom It May Concern: I am a registrant of several .com domain names and I am totally against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. Only Verisign want increases in .COM prices and 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. I trust ICANN to *govern the domain name system in the public interest*. When I registered my first domain (microseeds.com) back in the mid 90s, Verisign charged $75 to register a .COM domain for a two year period. I do NOT want to return to those days.
