[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by William Hilsum 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. No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices. 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.

I am a registrant of a .com domain name. I find it unfair that a .com domain price will go up by such a huge margin, making it unaffordable for single, personal owners such as myself to own one. 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.

Hello, I am a registrant of a .com domain name. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. As the actual cost to manage each domain is in the neighborhood of 2.30$, the current rate of $7.85 already seems more than justified. To be frank, no one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices. As they have a monopoly over the. COM domains, they won't be using that money to better compete...this really looks like it's all about profits. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. I fail to see how lack of competition is in the public interest, but I'm sure you're stuck with the Verisign situation, whether you like it or not. If you're going to approve price hikes for a monopoly, however, you really need to make sure the public is sold on the idea by explaining how it will benefit us. This isn't socialism yet, thankfully, so you're still required to sell us on it. Otherwise we'll put someone else in charge, right? Thank you for your time, Ben Butler Los Banos, California United States

I am a registrant of multiple .com domain names. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains (or any other legacy TLD's). No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices. The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified, many CCtld's are much more affordable. Verisign is merely your manager of the .COM Registry – it has no business dictating the price.

After reading all the other previous comments I feel as if there is not much more that needs to be said. The increases start churning people significant profits, and those same increases give nothing back to those (often individuals such as myself) no additional benefit to the cost which is going to increase each year. So here's what's going to happen. I'm going to end up dropping my two .com domains, from there some hoarder will park them just because it was something that once existed, they're really not worth while for anyone, but in my case as like many others the net will be an ever increasing wasteland of abandoned domains that are all parked by others trying to sell domains. Pretty soon it'll be like a dark alley with a guy in a trench coat trying to sell you a domain! Anyways, jokes aside, this ability for everyone to start jacking up prices is going to be a slippery slope that's going to benefit no one other than the person that want's more money themselves with nothing in exchange for the increases. Everything is perfectly fine the way it is, leave shit alone... ---- Sent using Guerrillamail.com Block or report abuse: https://www.guerrillamail.com//abuse/?a=Qk55CAgOV6dYiwG5vX8SdxrDQM%2BexpoDi…

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. 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. The benefit of a price increase will go solely to the registry manager and is unlikely to trickle down to domain name users. At a time when economies of scale have lowered the price for nearly everything required to manage the registry, an increase is no more than a grab for more profit.
