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

Feb. 10, 2020

Hello, I am a registrant of lot of .com domain names and we're actively using it for production. 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.

I am a registrant of a .SE domain name, but appreciate that much of my business relies on the .COM registry, which by far leads the market in domain name registries I am against the proposed increase of price to .COM domains — only Verisign wants this increase, and being merely a manager of the .COM registry has no business dictating price. Given the vast volume of registrations 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, not that of corporations. Mia Dobson Edinburgh, Scotland United Kingdom Sent via Migadu.com, world's easiest email hosting

I am a registrant of a .com domain name. I also worked on secure domain services for a gtld as the core engineer of the team for many years. I support the proposed price increase which allows for a 31% price increase through 2024. I would rather them be many thousands and contribute towards taxes and commerce, to see a return to the naming convention as it was intended. The floodgates are opened already.

Dear ICANN, now that we have "custom TLDs" that generate considerable revenue, it makes little sense to increase the cost of a well-established "default" TLD which most SMBs and startups default to. Please do weigh the public interest voices against this proposal carefully. Should Verisign not wish to continue under the same terms, there are registry managers ready to replace them with virtually zero effort on your part. As many have already pointed out, the current price is already questionable in light of the level of management automation and the volume of domains sold. If any changes are expected from a public-interest point of view, TLDs as popular as .com should decrease in price. Regards, Pavel Lovyn

Price increases should be fair and reasonable, a tiered layer based on business turnover would be more acceptable than a blanket increase, maintaining affordability to all. Kind RegardsJo Couch http://www.hydrangeahousehythe.com Kent Conversions Ltd T: 01622 815580 M: 07969 029965

ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. Domain is still an emerging technology in some third world countries and this price increment will hamper the supposed development and unification especially on grounds of affordability. Kindly reconsider this decision in the interest of many. Alex Abuja, Abuja Nigeria Sent from Outlook<http://aka.ms/weboutlook>

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Against price increases.
by chen quanhui Feb. 10, 2020

Against price increases. I am a domain name investor from China. I don't think it is suitable for price increase at present. The domain name industry is sluggish. Price increases will exacerbate the current situation. .com has a significant number of registrations in China. But China's mobile Internet is developing rapidly. Many people no longer use the computer to access the Internet. The demand for com is gradually decreasing. At this time, the price increase will only accelerate the reduction of .com registrations in China. 反对涨价我是来自中国的域名投资者。认为目前不适合涨价。域名行业低迷。涨价会加剧目前的状况。 .com在中国有着相当大的注册量。但是中国移动互联网发展迅速。很多人已不再通过电脑访问互联网。com的需求量正在逐步减少。此时提价只会加速降低.com在中国地区的注册量。陈全辉 Chen QuanHui Hunan,China

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] The .COM Registry Agreement should not be monopoly-controlled by Verisign
by Bruce Henry Lambert Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Aloha. I am an internet user with many .com websites used personally and for business & investments. My colleagues and I are outraged that ICANN has allowed Verisign to maintain a monopoly over the .com registry. Verisign is predatory and able to unreasonably raise prices only due to their corrupt relationship with ICANN allowing no competition. Why are other potential suppliers frozen-out? Surely ICANN does not enjoy being accused of collusion and corruption, but by not allowing open competitive tender, the no-bid .com registry contract allows THEFT from me and millions of others. This multi-billion dollar gift should not be controlled by Verisign. The windfall profits enjoyed by Verisign are evidence the price of .com registrations is too high and should be lowered. ICANN has not been truly responsive to past public input about the .com and .org registry contracts. Each registry is essentially a public trust arrangement, and not the private property of Verisign or ICANN. Domain prices for .com & .org should be DECREASING. Please make it happen.
