by No Limit Productions Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I am the owner of web design and marketing firm. Together with my customers we are against .com increases and ICANN deals behind closed doors. Ignoring unified opposition that undeniably exists is unacceptable. ICANN community and Internet users should have an impact and voice. ICANN actions are dishonest and disappointing.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by RaShaun Eshalomi Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Hello, I am completely opposed to the Proposed Amendment 3. Only Verisign will benefit from this outrageous amendment. This will have a huge negative impact on the millions of small businesses already struggling to keep up, or the individuals with domains for personal use. ICANN is supposed to be governing this system in the interest of the public not corporations trying to make more money. This is flat out greed. Please do not implement this amendment. Thank you.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 is a money grab
by Matt Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to voice my opposition to Proposed Amendment 3. Despite there clearly being potential financial gains to be had by raising the registration fee on .com domains, 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. While price hikes such as this likely won't mean much to the larger business concerns that buy in bulk, it will impact the millions of small, independent businesses and developers that rely on the system as is to make their livelihood. 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. Matt Mosley

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comment against Amendment 3
by Toriningen Gamemaker Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

To whom it may concern, Amendment 3 is a terrible idea with no justification for its existence. After all, you have provided none. Nor was this deal made with any input; not from the government, not from registrars, not from computer science or economic experts, and not from domain name owners, who are most affected by this change. The internet is supposed to be a bastion of free speech; this is killed if you raise prices arbitrarily high, as this agreement allows and encourages. High pricing makes it economically infeasable for the majority of people to maintain their own website. You are supposed to monitor the market and keep competition fair, to allow prices and agreements to the benefit of everyone, not price gouge for money to be used for arbitrary purposes (We don't get to see your yearly budget, so how are you supposed to be held accountable that the $30 million Verisign is paying you is actually going to infrastructure costs?) Also, why one company in particular? Why have an agreement to give one body total pricing control over a product, and allow them to sell that same product? With this amendment, Verisign has an unfair advantage in the market, exactly the sort of situation the ICANN exists to prevent! How can something so blatantly biased be drafted and passed about such an unbiased medium? Ah, yes, the deal was made behind closed doors. Historically, closed door deals do not benefit the majority: deals made publically have the opportunity to be refined by the experts at large before they are finalized. Whether out of maliciousness or sheer incompetence, closed door deals are a bad idea. So, how about you discard this amendment, and try again? Thank you for taking your time with this message. Domain name owner, Toriningen

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] ICANN's contract w/ Verisign & .com price increases
by Matthew Weymar Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I 100% object to the exorbitant price increases you are proposing. They *far *exceed likely inflation and decrease the democratizing influence of the internet. Boo! Hiss! Absolutely NO! The $20mm over 5 years for initiatives regarding the security and stability of the domain name system. To whom will you be accountable for these initiatives? Who will ensure that you spend this money responsibly? How can I be sure you are spending this money responsibly rather than lining your own pockets? I do not want Verisign operating as a domain name registrar. They already have enough power and control over domain names! They don't need any more. STOP this. I send this in full recognition that AGAIN, you are likely to disregard what I say -- no matter how many voices join on my side of these issues, and how few voices support what you are proposing. Even though I recognize that this is likely a *complete waste of time*, I am taking the trouble to share my perspective with you anyway. How do I know it's going to be a waste of time? Because the last time you received public comment on your initiatives, you received 3500 comments in opposition and only six in favor, and ... you carried on. SHAME....

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com price increases
by Nate Ouderkirk Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Dear ICANN, One of the building blocks of internet businesses, my KitchenKnifeGuru.com <http://kitchenknifeguru.com/> site included, is low-cost entry and maintenance. When you put in place a plan to systematically raise the price of domain names for a sustained period of time, you undercut this low-cost entry model. And you make it harder for small businesses to compete with large corporate entities. Many of these small businesses, often designed for overlooked niches, benefit consumers more than larger corporations. Please reconsider your deal with Verisign plan to systematically raise wholesale domain prices over the next decade. Please benefit the consumer, by benefiting small businesses, and keep the price of domain names low. Thanks, Nate Ouderkirk

My comment is this: Your increase of .com prices is unjust, and it targets many people who are already vulnerable. Small business owners, freelancers, start ups - YOUNG PEOPLE! Dreamers! People who want to make a difference! That’s who this price increase hurts. And those are the exact people who are going to save the world, and change the world. As a 21 year old freelancer, my website is essential to my work. My business does not exist without my website. I do not have a livelihood without my website.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Disapprove of the proposed ICANN deal with VeriSign
by Michael Simson Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

To whom it may concern, The power of the internet is the numerous ways that people can connect and share information, tools, and resources with one another. Through the internet open source projects have become more abundant and easier to scale. This has resulted in more people benefitting from advances in technology without prohibitive costs associated with corporate offerings. At the heart of this ability to develop projects online is the ability to start domains affordably. This proposed deal to increase the prices of .COM TLDs by 7% for 8 out of 10 years will inevitably and eventually take a means for creating equality and accessibility out of the hands of millions of entrepreneurs, hobbyists, activists, and many others who are price sensitive. I would attest that the internet is the last bastion of freedom. At the heart of it is the domain itself. Since the overwhelming majority of domains end with .COM there is a need to preserve and protect the access to establishing a domain with this TLD. Bring this proposal to the public. Honor the millions upon millions who have used this TLD to make the internet what it is today. Have the courage to stand against the pressure of capitalistic onslaughts and say no to the price increases that threaten our very freedom the internet has provided.

by Randy Peterson Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

The .com domains have become the de-facto internet standard and raising the prices now feels like a monopoly raising its rates just because it can. I believe, because it has become an 'internet standard', the .com extension has lost many of it's rights as an domain name extension which a private company like Verisign can legally control control. -- Randy Peterson -This message is confidential.

Ladies and Gentlemen : It has come to our attention that the above referenced amendment as proposed and regarding .com registry terms going forward, was formulated and drafted in secret and without consulting and feedback from the ICANN community or Internet users. Given that the .com registry is essentially a monopolistic arrangement, we consider this to be an abuse of the public trust and register our strong view that these changes should be postponed until such ICANN community and Internet users’ views can be consulted and incorporated. Please do not ignore this and similar petitions you may receive regarding this situation. We appreciate this opportunity to have submitted this comment and thank you for attention.

by Todd Hoskins Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

The amount of control maintained by ICANN is concerning when the public is ignored. The proposed changes are an example of exactly what is wrong with this power and control for something as ubiquitous as domains without including open feedback. More inclusion in this process is needed. It is very possible that additional funds are needed to process domains, but this should be vetted by others. The potential for abuse is high following the current process with only two parties involved. Please use wisdom before entering into agreements that can potentially harm those with lower resources. Let's work to keep the internet open to all allowing the inclusion of everyone without creating unnecessary additional financial burdens to entry Todd Hoskins 2216 Hunter Drive Saratoga Springs, UT 84045

by David Kirshbaum Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Hi ICANN, I am writing to express my opposition to the new .com deal with Verisign announced last month. This deal will place an undue burden on small business owners and give Verisign an unfair advantage in the market relative to other domain registrars. As Verisign has a monopoly regarding the usage of .com domain names, their pricing must be kept in check. 7% per year is too much of an increase, far outpacing inflation. Please revise or kill this deal. Thank you, David Kirshbaum

Feb. 10, 2020

ICANN must continue to support a open, distributed internet, and this is another move away from that. More transparency should be the answer to the openness that the internet was built on, not secretive meetings. Similarly, low domain prices are required to allow ANYONE to be a part of the internet, as it has been since the beginning. I fear this move will cause ICANN to be seen as merely greedy, with no concern for the pillars the internet has been built on. Joshua Villwock System Administrator Corban University 503-375-7586

I'm concerned that the price increases in the .com domain and the contract with Verisign.

As a consumer of domain registration services, can recall the days where Network Solutions held a monopoly and charged USD $35 per year per domain. Compute and bandwidth costs have only come down in price over time. Given that registrars are not providing any additional value, it is unfair to consumers who have no real choice in any reasonable alternatives because of ICANN's monopoly, to increase prices, especially in light of the fact that costs should only continue to decline as compute and bandwidth costs continue to decrease over time. -- Dossy Shiobara | "He realized the fastest way to change dossy(a)panoptic.com | is to laugh at your own folly -- then you http://panoptic.com/ | can let go and quickly move on."

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Stop Domain Increase Price
by Lauren Cheney Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Stop this! Do not increase prices View in browser Help Us Avoid .COM Price Increases Hi there! We have important information to share with you that will affect the price of your .COM domains. What's happening? Last month, ICANN, the organization that oversees domain names, announced significant changes to the contract it has with Verisign, Inc. who operate the .COM top-level-domain (TLD). ICANN made these changes in secret, without consulting or incorporating feedback from the ICANN community or Internet users. Although ICANN has a history of making similar deals behind closed doors, and also of ignoring unified opposition against such action, we are focused on leading the fight against price increases that will harm our customers (and the Internet as a whole). This is a crucial time to raise our voices given that .COM domains make up 40% of all registered domain names online. What does this change mean? Wholesale registries charge Namecheap a set fee per domain name per year. According to this new agreement, Verisign will be allowed to increase the wholesale price to registrars for .COM domains every year for 8 out of the next 10 years, and the increases don’t stop there. This will mean that .COM wholesale domain prices can grow by more than 70% over and above current prices over the next decade. The contract also allows for other price increases, which could drive prices up further, ultimately making .COM domains less accessible and more expensive for everybody. Why is ICANN doing this? Alongside these contract changes, Verisign agreed to pay ICANN an additional $20 million dollars over five years to support ICANN's domain name system initiatives, without any clarity about how ICANN will spend the money, or who will ensure that the funds are properly spent on domain infrastructure. So, what can you do to help? These changes will have significant impact on the Internet for years to come, and only ICANN and Verisign have participated in this decision. If you want to make sure your voice is heard, let ICANN know how you feel about their recent decision. The Public Comment period is open until February 14, 2020. You can leave your comment on the .COM proposal using ICANN's form.

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. Many Thanks, Ron Crain

I am against any price increase that is above the National inflation average of 1.7% (One Point Seven). I simply cannot afford it. I have several Domain's (several for non-profits) and cannot afford any price increase. Sincerely Marvin Nauman

As it is, it is highway robbery to charge for domain name registration. Increasing it is an insult. Get real! The technology will adapt to render your cash cow obsolete! -- Sent from myMail for Android
