[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Robert Nangle Feb. 8, 2020

Feb. 8, 2020

I am a domainer (I invest in domain names as a business). 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.

Dear ICANN, I am a domain registrant. Please stop the corruption. Stop the Verisign Monopoly. Stop hurting domain registrants. Put the .COM REGISTRY for open competitive bidding so that domain registration prices can actually drop to $2 per domain. Do NOT allow Verisign to raise the prices. Prices must go lower. If you continue your corruption and keep letting Verisign raise the prices then we will go sit on hunger strike in front of Whitehouse, Congress and Supreme Court Of The United States of America. 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. We are determined to stop the monopoly and corruption. We will not be scared anymore. Get ready for lawsuits. Enough is enough. Ram Kumar Macomb, Michigan United States

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please do not approve Amendment 35!
by randy wem Feb. 8, 2020

*Re: Amendment 35: **The U.S. Department of Commerce stated that ccTLDs, new gTLDs and social media “have created a more dynamic DNS marketplace”, and as such, it’s appropriate for Verisign to have pricing flexibility.* *Regarding NEW DOMAIN REGISTRATION, this logic may hold true. * When someone is registering a new domain, they are free to choose among the various domain extensions. Thus, competition between extensions helps to keep them all fair. *Regarding DOMAIN RENEWALS, however, this logic absolutely does not apply. * The individual registrants have put years of work into increasing the value of their domains -- leaving us virtually hostage to any RENEWAL increases. As domain registrants, we are not able to just switch to a different extension if we can find a better deal. If anything, it may be best to strip Verisign of the . com management monopoly and allow multiple registrars access to . com management. *How bad could things get if Amendment 35 passes?* When I began as a web developer in the 1990s, Network Solutions (a Verisign company) was the only available registrar for . com domain registrations. The domain registration/renewal price was $35/year and our agency would often have to call Network Solutions for tech support. The 'on-hold' time was typically around 8 hours! So, the first person to the office every morning would call Network Solutions only to be put on hold. We would put it on speaker phone and go on with our work. That way, we could batch our questions together throughout the day and ask them all at once when Network Solutions would finally pick up by the end of the business day. As soon as Network Solutions lost that registrar monopoly and other registrars began competing, domain registrations immediately dropped to $6/year, if I recall correctly. And the new registrars answered phone calls promptly. In my experience Verisign, left unbridled, will destroy the . com extension and the internet as we know it. *Please do not approve Amendment 35!*

Keeping the domain name prices low is what keeps the Internet open and available to all. I do not support any amendment which allows for annual price increases for the domain names which are owned by anyone.

.com domains are the backbone of the domain ecosystem, if there is one thing that must remain stable, it's its price. Random increase would be catastrophic for so many businesses and individuals, please do not allow this to happen.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] The proposed .COM registration price cap increases are ill-advised and will result in reduced revenue
by Paul Rauschelbach Feb. 8, 2020

Feb. 8, 2020

Hello, Registry consolidation and technical improvements should have dramatically reduced the cost of domain registry administration, not increased them. Rewarding the risk to the investor and public of the leveraging used for registrar consolidation with guaranteed high rates of return, with no guarantee of improvement to services (an aspiration to secure DNS is not a promise, and the registrars have been dragging on this already), is irresponsible and against the interest that the ICANN is meant to serve. You will just as likely see a decrease in registration revenue when the speculative registrations decrease as a result of higher registration fees. This proposal and the similar .ORG TLD changes create a general suspicion and ill-will toward the ICANN, and demand further scrutiny of the management and structure of this public trust. A 2% annual increase is the most that should ever be proposed, or a better case for any higher increase, with effective oversight of such uses and real consequences for failures or breaches. Sincerely, Paul Rauschelbach <paul(a)palindrome.com <mailto:paul@palindrome.com>> SF 415-271-9216
