Please do not raise .com prices. There is no need, and it’s just rent seeking. I am a registrant of a .com domain name, karlnoss.com. 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.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comments on Prices of registering and renewing domain names
by Catherine Doucet Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Greetings, We are a start-up company selling European designer home furnishings, tableware, accessories and lighting products online to end consumers and interior designers. We need to own a lot of different domain names to protect our brand. We have very limited financial resources. Increasing the price of registering and renewing domain names would be a barrier to entry for small businesses like we are. Thank you for your consideration. *Catherine Doucet* *CEO* *DESIGN QUARTERS* www.designquarters.com 263 7th Street, Hoboken, NJ, USA

I am a registrant of several .com domain names. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. I am retired, and help small businesses get .com domain names and build small websites to help small operators get a website online. Prices have already gone up substantially and will soon out pace the ability of some small businesses to keep their websites. I have tried using some of the other cheaper priced domains such as .us and .monster and find they do not propagate across the www as they should. Perhaps that is because people with huge accounts and .com domains don't like someone using the same name with a .us or .monster domain and coerced their registrant or servers to slow down some ext. Or maybe create a new tld ext that will remain less expensive like .comm or .kom, yet they are not .com the main tld ext everybody types when they have no idea what they are looking for.

I am an owner of a disadvantaged, small, woman owned business. We use several domain names to identify to our clients the product mix. It would be a significant impact if the rates went up. Do not do that please. 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.

As a small disadvantaged, woman owned business, I have several .com names that represent my different practices and it would have a significant impact on whether I would keep the ones that I have if the rates went up. Please do not do this.

by eCorp Feb. 10, 2020

24 years ago in 1996 before ICANN and when a clear monopoly was forming, we needed iCANN. ICANN is now a loose cannon and the biggest risk to the digital asset class know as URL's. How many no bid contracts when pricing should be going down and security up. Open up the contract and see what happens? Why not, are the people making the money to scared or just in to much control they dont care? Its sad ICANN is supporting such price increases when they know opening it up will lower the prices and do it better. Oh ya, profits to Verisign and the big old white guys guys running the Gov back door contracts sponsoring Verisign. I am a registrant of a .com domain name since 1996, strongly against the proposed price increase to .COM domains, (Dont claim national security for increase as that is BS). Verisign has one of the highest margin business, why is iCANN supporting even more? Oh ya, we forgot ICANN is for the corporate company who funds them not the community as originally planned. Its just not right, then open the contract for bidding or give some of it back to the source that is providing it like Training, etc. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest, not Verisign bottom line or claim national security. Do what is right and hold Verisign Accountable to keeping margins still over 60% and still over a billion in pure profit.. Break it please as its the biggest risk to our centralized system of power and ICANN has not proven itself with whoever has the biggest checkbook. chad folk Austin, Texas, Florida United States

Dear ICANN, I am a small business owner. I work with clients around the country in the web design and marketing field. Please do not raise the price of .com. I remember in the 90's they were very expensive. If anything, they should cost less, since there are so many other TLD and GTLD options available now.
