[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comment about new .com domain policy
by Mahdi Mohammadi Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Hello, As holder of multiple .com domains, I am completely against this decision. The price increase does not make any sense. In the world of IT, everyday we see price decrease and more competition for infrastructure and services. Why price of .com domains should be completely opposite? Thanks, Mahdi

ICCAN and VeriSign shouldn't make changes in secrete without stake holder participation or without consultation from other service providers like namecheap and other agencies.These changes are going to affect alot of businesses especially upcoming entrepreneurs who ran small personal businesses online with little capital for as low as $70 per month.ICCAN and VeriSign should have conducted a research from different countries especially Africa where the economy is not fast growing. ICCAN should have used economics of scale of different countries before making changes.Business is not about making huge profits but it's about customer satisfaction and flexibility interms of financial benefits. Should ICCAN and VeriSign go ahead making changes,Thousands of businesses online will lose revenue and the people will lose confidence and trust in ICCAN and VeriSign. Secondly Making such changes will also increase level of unemployment in other countries because lots of young generation from University collevels or even those who never had chance to attend college because of financial challenges are doing small businesses online such as digital marketing and advertising services.Most importantly ICCAN and VeriSign may also lose business because of unfair changes or prices without consultation from expert's

The bullshit y'all are trying to pull in conjunction with Verisign, while impressively forthright, is not appreciated by the general public. Please do not alter how current price caps work. Best, Deniz Ozkaynak

What icann and Verisign allow themselves to increase the fees for .com domains sounds like covert donations for Icann. 20 million US $ without purpose, who does not think of the mafia or enrichment is out of this world. If this really happens, all .com owners should return their domains, let's see who makes money I will chirp my domain anyway Greets Marcus Thier

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] ICANN and Verisign contract amendments
by Irfan Tufail Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Dear Sir or Madam ICANN and Verisign contract amendments I write to convey my utter dismay on your decision to amend ICANN's contract with Verisign without public consultation. The Internet, as we have all witnessed, has, on one hand, brought freedom of expression in a manner and at a scale that is unprecedented in human history. On the other hand, It has made possible an equally astounding feat: an open and truly globalised market. Yet, your actions now put the very foundation of the Internet in jeopardy. Your deal with Verisign has potential not only to drive the domain registration fees higher, thus putting it out of reach for people like me, but, to add insult to the injury, will also make the Internet a less democratic and competitive place. Are we to witness yet again the interest of the multitude to be sacrificed to benefit the few? I wish it were not so. I wish for a friendlier and more open world for our youth. Would you then not stay your action?

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] price increase
by Elizabeth G 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 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. These price increases are unfair and were done in secret. They would change the internet for users for years to come.

by D E Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

I am against allowing rate increases for Verisign. As a monopoly they will act in their own financial interest and not the public interest. They will max out the allowed increase whether justified or not. Keep the Obama era restrictions in place. Daryl Edmonds

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] ICANN should work to keep costs down
by Tilman J. Bohl Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Dear ICANN, ICANN has been granted governance over the domain system. Good governance means with consent of the governed and in their interests. In this case, the governed end users would very much like .com domains to stay inexpensive and reliable. The proposed conflict of interest between Verizon the .com domain operator and Verizon the future reseller of .com domain registration, will inevitably squeeze consumers and hurt competition. As long as Verizon has a monopoly over .com domain operation, it needs to stay regulated like a monopoly, with price caps. As a domain owner and affected end user, T. Bohl

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .COM price increases limit people's freedom online
by Andra Zaharia Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Good afternoon, I’m writing to voice my concern over the proposed .COM price increases, an issue I believe will deeply impact people’s freedom on the internet. Small business owners are already struggling to maintain profitability and this will place an additional burden on them. Content creators, educators, activists, and other categories of vulnerable or underepresented people will have yet another barrier to fight when wanting to start a positive, constructive project. To maintain a profitable, booming internet, we need to lower the barriers to access, not build them higher. Please take all these voices into account. Your actions have real-life consequences for millions of people. Andra Z.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Silvan Bucher Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Hello, I would like to voice my opposition to Proposed Amendment 3. I believe that the global DNS registration system should be run primarily as a public concern. The only entities that stand to benefit from the proposed arrangement are verisign itself, at the expense of the public. These price hikes will impact the millions of small, independent businesses and developers that rely on the system as is to make their livelihood. Further, this could prove yet another point of pressure that convinces a small business to make their online presence exclusively in the Facebook walled garden and eschew the web itself. The web, and global DNS, were envisioned to be run for the public good, and they SHOULD be run for the public good. Deals such as this are an abdication of that mandate; short sighted profit chasing at the expense of all else. Please do not adopt this proposal. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. Silvan Bucher Luzern, Switzerland

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] changes to the contract with Verisign, Inc.
by Robert Ericsson Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Hi, As a consumer of domain registrations, I’m not supportive of the changes being considered for the contract with Verisign, Inc. My understanding is that this will result in potentially steep price increases for domain registration without clearly defined initiatives to support the security and stability of the system. In addition, it seems that this will give a great deal of power to Verisign, Inc. and place it in an overly dominant position within the domain registration hierarchy. Best regards, Robert Ericsson rob(a)l10systems.com

Please, do not create conditions for Verisign to be allowed to increase the wholesale price to registrars for .COM domain every year for 8 ou of the next 10 years. Remember, there are a lot of good humans among us, trying to have a good domain name to put into good use for everyone! Thank you.

Hi, i don't see why such a price surge is necessary. Costs for hosting get cheaper every year and there is no real invention or new technology happening in the domain registry space. I would understand if those price cuts would be turned into cheaper registration fees, not pretty steep increases.

To whom it may concern, I am concerned about the potential increase in .com prices over the next 10 years. I don’t believe that all stakeholder groups have been properly considered or given sufficient voice before this decision was made. This decision has the potential to affect countless people across the next decade, and therefore greater transparency and greater stakeholder consideration is required. Regards, Melody
