[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Are you for the public good?
by Amir Ebrahimi Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Looking at https://www.icann.org/stewardship it makes me wonder if the council is holding itself accountable. Considering that the ICANN will receive $20M from Verisign and that there is no clear indication of how this money will be spent I think it's incumbent on a worldwide council FOR the world to clarify why this is happening.

Feb. 11, 2020

To whom it may concern, I have been informed through my domain name provider that you are drafting a contract that will significantly increase the cost of .com domains. Please reconsider this action as it will have ramifications in the free market system. You may very well be shooting yourselves in the foot, and be harmful in the long run. Be considerate of what is in the best interest of the customer as you make decisions for what is best for your business. Respectfully submitted, Mark Perry

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. Daniel Ritiu Târgu Mureș

I am writing to add to the comments urging you to reconsider any drastic increase to the pricing of the .com domain. There is simply no need for the increase and to do so anyway would be a sad example of corporate greed.

Hi, I really hope that is not true what's some said about the fact you want to increase domain registrar price. It’s already expensive enough Thanks Marc-Antoine

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Am I wasting my time?
by Randy Oostdyk Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Will anybody even read this? Considering the DECLINING costs of technology, I would expect the cost of domain registration to be going DOWN. Considering there's no competition, raising of the wholesale cost of registration is tantamount to monopolistic abuse. I hope that ICANN, in serving the public interest, would take heed to the overwhelming opposition of the public to the price hikes that will be allowed by this amendment. Thank you.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3
by Links,Aaron Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I do not consent to any proposed price increases to the .com TLD registrations. Agreements made via opaque (opposite of transparent) discussions between ICANN and Verisign indicate corruption at worst and incompetence at best, and a lack of oversight of these two organizations. This proposed amendment needs to be discarded and transparency implemented for the public to see, and participate in, before any more changes are considered.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comment On Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Daniel Koh Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I oppose this agreement on the grounds that Verisign is the sole 'authority' of the .com TLD. Being able to raise prices arbitrarily, without due cause and without increased competition, would not be justifiable for consumers. Furthermore, Verisign would have undeniable conflict of interests in being able to directly sell .com domains while being the sole 'authority' of said TLD. Thank you, Daniel Koh -

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please reconsider increase of .com prices
by Øystein Ivar Malt Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hi, I wanted to raise concern about the changes to the .com contract, lifting limits on prices for domain names. I do not think your decision is in the interest of the internet community, or businesses operating websites with a .com address. Please consider that while the price increase might not make a huge difference to entities in developed countries, it might severely affect the ability of individuals and SMBs in poorer countries to create websites aimed at a global audience. Such a situation would clearly be in the interest of neither diversity nor democracy, and could only cause larger divides in the global community. Further, with the reduction of hosting cost over the last decades, I do not see how you can justify increasing prices for such a fundamental, international internet service. I implore you to reconsider. Kind regards, Øystein Malt

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Feedback on contract change for .com operator
by enquiries Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hi, As a small business owner, I have a couple of .com sites which I have registered & currently operate. As regards the rule change, I think the normal rules of business should apply: - What I am getting and what does it cost? - If I don't like it, I can walk away/refuse to support the initiative The fact the .com domain operation is a currently a monopoly should mean that the caretakers (ICANN) should take even greater care to ensure that that its constituents (registrars or better, the actual .com website owners) are supporting its initiatives. Failing to do this other areas of life/business normally end up with the monopoly being broken up. So, with the information I am aware of, I am not happy to support measures ultimately resulting in higher re-occurring domain registry costs. Best regards, Robert Alfonsi

Dear ICANN, I am a registrant of many .com domain names and I am totally against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. Verisign is a greedy evil. 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. Edy Budiman Indonesia

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comment on .COM Amendement
by A DR Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear Sirs, It's with great regret that I read about the ICANN intention of raising rates for the dot com domains. And moreso without consulting users prior to drafting such amendment. Some news have surfaced indicating that ICANN would cash some $20m in the process. For what purpose? How is this going to benefit end users like myself, a small business owner? As many people have already done so, I urge you to reconsider this decision and simply put it aside forever. Thank you Kind regards, ADR
