[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .COM Price Increase comment
by Molly Peacher-Ryan Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 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 wants 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. Molly Peacher-Ryan Memphis, TN, USA

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Keep the caps on .com pricing
by Jen Van Noie Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

By increasing internet usage pricing, you will lose many valued .com customers. I will be one of them. There are many ways to use technology in this fast-changing world. By increasing pricing for the small business owners who depend on their .coms to earn a living, you are taking advantage of the honest & hard-working people who have relied (some solely) on the internet for their businesses. Like I stated, increasing pricing will deter those who have used .com domains from utilizing their websites, and we will find other inexpensive ways to create successful online businesses. Keep the price cap & do not raise prices. Enjoy the day, Jen Van Noie Wakingwithjen.com

Feb. 12, 2020

I am self employed and an author and teacher. I have multiple domains to maintain. I work in the field of human services for children and adults with disabilities and autism. I make very little salary, but am happy to serve. However, when price gouging happens and affects so many people, and when it is done without stakeholder input or even notification, I must protest. Raising rates incrementally at a reasonable amount is logical. Greed is not.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Concern RE: price increases
by Xavi Matos Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

I think the internet is only as free and public as it is affordable to maintain a presence on. I don't know what rationale there is to allowing .com domains to increase in price drastically. It seems like this will allow domain bullies and trolls further power to leverage squatting into financial gain, and will pollute the .com TLD.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comment on Proposed Changes
by R. E. Stearns Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

To whom it may concern: I’m an author, and my website is the only business card that matters. I must have a website to communicate with readers, provide basic information to reviewers, and remain contactable no matter what is happening with social media sites. And for my website to be found, I need to have a .COM address with my name in it. My publisher does not provide one for me. I have to maintain that for myself. However, as an author, I make practically no money! I get my domain from a wholesaler and I absolutely cannot afford massive increases in my .COM domain price. Please consider me and other artists and authors like me, who trust you to help us share our art with the world, and keep .COM wholesale domain prices affordable. Thank you for your time, R. E. Stearns https://restearns.com

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] ICANN changes to Verisign contract pending action - opposed
by Peter Mueller Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Domain Administrator: I would like to state my emphatic disapproval to this current effort of changing the contract you presently have with Verisign. I think your proposal is too extreme and without reasonable check and balances. There is inadequate funding oversight, and there has been no open and transparent discussion with the millions/billions of impacted stakeholders - individuals like myself, the actual users of the internet and website hosts. Please stop. Respectfully, Pete Mueller

I find the upcoming changes in the new deal between Verisign and ICANN are wrong. Important big decisions like these that will affect millions of internet users should not be down to only two companies.

Hello- I am a registrant of a .com domain name, and I find the management of the registry a useful service. However, I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. No one other than 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. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. This price increase is not in the public interest, especially as .COM domains are supposed to be accessible to a variety of people in a variety of economic brackets. thank you, lisa nevada -- *lisa nevada*

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] 7 percent increase is ridiculous
by Jim or Cat Pippitt Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

To whom it may concern, I am opposed to the proposal to increase .COM fees 7% / yr for 4 years. The fact that this change was quickly and quietly proposed rather than coming forward with figures demonstrating a pressing need suggests this is just a money grab. If you need to tie it to inflation, fine. If you really need extra $$ prove it. Otherwise carry on as before.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please stop the .com price increase
by Rali Minkova Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Hello, I own several .COM domains as a small business owner, some of which are also for personal use and are not monetized in any way. I am strongly opposed to the price increase concerning all .COM domains. This is highly unjustifiable and not in the interest of all of us who own domains as part of a small business or as a personal hobby. The current of $7.85 is already far more than justified and already steep enough – a price increase will only be in the interest of Verisign, rather than in the best interest of the public and all domain registrants. Please do NOT agree to the proposed price increase. Sincerely, Ralitsa Minkova

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Opposition to proposed further economic pressure on Internet Users
by Alan Rosenbloom Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

In case you at ICANN have not noticed, the middle class is struggling in the U.S. while the cash continues flowing to the few. This situation is particularly dire on our young people who are facing the mentality of ever increasing costs on virtually every commodity, including massive school loans. Furthermore, to save the planet that we are actively destroying, we need ideas from all perspectives, not just from those that benefit every time that more resources are extracted. The Internet is the greatest seat at the table that we can keep open for those enterprising enough to have impactful and constructive ideas. Your job is to regulate the domains, not to find excuses to tax them in the name of regulation. This may help your bottom line, power and prestige in the short run but it will also handicap the flow of ideas, which is far more valuable than any service your executives can construct to justify higher rates. Please do not start down the road of allowing greed to overrule reason. *DO NOT go forward with this amendment. You DO NOT have my support for this change. I am strongly opposed to it.* Alan Rosenbloom
