[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] you are destroying opportunities for our future
by Rob Christian Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

America was originally built on the idea that the lower class should have the opportunity to work hard and better their lives. By jacking up the prices of .com domains, you are chipping away yet again at that dream. People like me need the ability to buy domains at affordable rates so we can run experiments in the open market, to reach consumers, and hopefully generate new and innovative businesses. Without the ability to buy affordable domain names, it becomes nearly impossible for me to reach my customers. Stop what you are doing and reverse course, unless you hate opportunity and you only care about your own profit. Continue what you are doing if you are fully corrupt and care only about your own profit. -Robert Christian, Founder/CEO Stoke Brain Inc, 925-321-8210

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Inequality of Access
by Aram Richard Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

This change will severely impact equal access to domain registration and highly favor larger entities with the ability to pay more for a domain. Another measure to restrict the internet and create fast lanes for those who have more. Sent from the very core of who I am as a person.

To Whom it concerns: 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.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Aaron R. Deutsch Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

ICANN, I don’t have time to compose a thoughtful, formal letter about your ill-advised plan to increase registration rates for domain names but as a web developer I’ve worked with hundreds of individuals and small business and I’m going to ask you to not raise the barrier of entry for owning a web domain. Leave the base prices where they are. Thanks, -- Aaron R. Deutsch Haus Interactive 143 E Ridgewood Avenue PO Box 5 Ridgewood, NJ 07451 347-560-4429 www.hausinteractive.com

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comments about proposed change
by Damian Gil Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I have read the proposed change and there is no public reason for anyone outside of Verisign to condone this deal. Prices overall should go down, not up. That's what happens in an economy with competition in it. Monopolies, yes, they rise their prices whenever they want. Raising the .COM TLD prices just opens the door to rise prices on every other TLD. That's not fair to the consumer. What does this do to the industry overall where resellers already charge a pretty hefty markup on parked domains. IF the deal was targeted to those entities who don't use the domain but only have it parked waiting for a buyer, I can see a reason since it would probably democratize the market a little more. But to do it blindly to all it's just a kick in the back for the consumers and just an artificial excuse to rise prices overall just because. I urge you to don't do this. Thank you. Sincerely,Damián Gil

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Not in Favor
by Matthew Lauber Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I am not in favor of this proposal. It is my view that lacking significant competition in terms of running this database, and with web customers unable to simply migrate their sites, the price controls ICANN currently places on TLD registrars are an important and necessary part of the system. Furthermore, the rate increases are dramatically out of proportion to expected inflation, leading to higher costs for consumers, and unearned profits for Verisign. Matthew Lauber

Feb. 11, 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.* This is a formal e-mail requesting that you take a serious look into Verisign with the price increase. They are turning million of dollars with .com already and they are trying to charge more from the public. This is not their only business but this may be there largest. Manuel -- Manuel Cátedra

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Domain Name Management Change
by Dave Keevill Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I use an avid Internet user and I am a .com registrant. To begin, I am against Verisign managing .com URL address sales. Verisign is merely the manager of the .COM Registry and has no business dictating the price. ICANN, as a non-profit acting in the interest of the greatest public good, should be governing the domain name system in the public interest. Letting private for-profit business dictate prices is the absolute antithesis of this. I hope you make the best decision for the good of the internet and the people, not the multinational corporations looking to bleed America dry. Thank you.

The effort of being a registrar has hardly increased over the years, quite the opposite. Domain names are a commodity that should grow cheaper every year. Raising the fees as proposed is simply greed, there is nothing to motivate it. Best regards, Lars Snith

Me and people like me will stop using .com addresses and switch to a cheaper alternative. There are plenty of other options. Its 2020, addresses that don't end in .com aren't considered shady anymore so there's no reason to stay with .com if the price is so high. Thats all!

Feb. 11, 2020

This endangers the free & open net. How can people expect to have personal websites, or websites for their projects, with higher prices?? I am sure that a properly governed nonprofit foundation would have no trouble raising the funds needed to ensure proper infrastructure. Please consider your public perception as you weigh your options.
