[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Domain Name Price Increases are Anti-Internet
by Betty Tew Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I oppose the monopolization of domain name registrations. I believe that previous price controls set on domain names are best for the Internet and will prevent monopolization and corruption by organizations controlling the domain names. Any new policies should work for the good of all. ICANN must take into consideration price increases affecting all registrars and their customers. It SHOULD NOT make unilateral decisions without the Internet community having a voice. -- Betty Tew 919-362-5036 :::::::::::::::::::: B2B Content Marketing www.TewWrites.com

Please don’t make sketchy deal behind closed doors. Do you realize how many people use the internet and how many people and small businesses own domains? They can be pricey enough, so please do not make this deal to raise .com prices! Thank you for listening. Chris

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please do not allow Verisign to increase wholesale prices of .com domains.
by Jamal Khan Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Please do not allow Verisign to increase wholesale prices of .com domains. ------- [image: Namecheap] <http://mailtrackemailout1.namecheap.com/ls/click?upn=QqNWTFdMeHiLPmRAI5EzI5…> Help Us Avoid .COM Price Increases Hi there! We have important information <http://mailtrackemailout1.namecheap.com/ls/click?upn=QqNWTFdMeHiLPmRAI5EzI5…> 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 <http://mailtrackemailout1.namecheap.com/ls/click?upn=QqNWTFdMeHiLPmRAI5EzI5…> is open until February 14, 2020.* You can leave your comment on the .COM proposal using ICANN's form <http://mailtrackemailout1.namecheap.com/ls/click?upn=QqNWTFdMeHiLPmRAI5EzI5…> . ----- Jamal Khan (219) 241-1915

Hello there, Small businesses depend on .com to have a presence on the web. Having your own website and not just something on social media adds legitimacy and allows you to have your own voice… independent and on-message. In a way, it is an issue of free speech.

by Nick Busey Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

The changes ICANN has announced around .com price increases and Verisign being allowed to operate a registrar are atrocious. There are many individuals such as myself who run a few dozen domain names. Allowing the prices to go up 70% over 10 years will make many of these smaller sites have to shut down out of financial necessity. This is another step towards the death of the distributed internet. -- Nick Busey

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Big money influencing the free web
by JT S Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

ICANN, This raising of prices on .COM domains is unjust and threatens the balance of a free and open world wide web. If anything ICANN should be fighting to protect the global public's interests no those of giant corporations. Verisign should not be allowed to monopolize the defacto default domain. .COM has and continues to be the most popular and trusted of domains. To allow corporate interest to behave as a rent seeking organization and siphon money off of the web is an affront to the global information community.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] I am against Amendment 3
by Dustin Cooper Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

To whom this may concern, Raising the cost of .com domains, especially as laid out by proposed Amendment 3, is unacceptable. In a world where inequality is out of control, the last thing we need to do is charge more for access to technology that profoundly affects free speech. And those that are affected the most are the poor among us. So its a big no unless you want to offer free .com domains to those below the poverty level. If this amendment passes, then it will be time to raise up and fight back. Lets avoid more fighting and deny this amendment's time of day. Good day and do the right thing - Dustin

by Fredrik Krokstad Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

As an owner of several .com-domains, I feel it necessary to write to you in order to express my profound dissatisfaction with the proposed amendment 3 to the .COM registry agreement. Firstly, the fact that decisions which will affect the registrar- and consumer communities at large, are being made unilaterally and behind closed doors, is outrageous. Secondly, I fail to see how allowing Verisign Inc. to control the wholesale domain price in the coming years will benefit consumers. This proposal should be scrapped. Furthermore, representatives from the ICANN community and internet users should be appointed then allowed to participate in these decision-making processes in the future. Regards, Fredrik Krokstad

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Com price amendments
by Carl Kidwell Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Hello, I am an entrepreneur and software engineer. Over the past decade I have engaged in several small start up businesses and engaged in purchasing and maintaining .com domains to run my businesses. As with any start up I have operated at a loss . The cost of obtaining a domain is just one component required for an online business and increasing the price will reduce the likelihood that I will launch a new business website, or maintain ones that I own now. As you know our modern economy relies on a robust technology based startup culture- I feel allowing prices for domains to skyrocket as just one of the small components would stifle businesses and innovation and ask that you do not allow this or greatly restrict the rate at which costs can grow. The proposed 7% rate is far above inflation and the actual costs to maintain these names is already highly profitable.

I'm writing to record my opposition to the proposed changes in price increases for the .com TLD. I own several .com domains as a freelance website developer, developer in my community, and with clients and other prospects. To implement a price increase of something that is invariably not a tangible product in the eyes of the consumer (the website/app/presence at the domain is the product) without considering the needs of the internet community at large is irresponsible and sneaky.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Feedback on the Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Red Pepr - Registrations Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

I am a registrant of a .com domain name. Multiple domains, in fact. Increasing prices hurt my ability to maintain an online presence. This is not in my (or anyone else's) best interest. Therefore, I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. >From everything I read, 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. Kindly act accordingly. Thomas Forrester Middleton, Wisconsin USA

This is really not fair to the .com community that no one has been able to say anything on this agreement. Things are already difficult enough just trying to survive the internet frenzy, trying to make things work. The internet was in the beginning supposed to be accessible to everyone. It is going to become un-affordable for the small business to be online anymore. It's always the big guy try to kill the small guy. What are you trying to do take us out of business. Please reconsider your actions so we can have a little piece of the pie also. Thank you for your time and consideration on this matter. Regard's Michel

by Dr. M. Whitfield Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

What ICANN and Verisign have done is outrageous - a No-Bid Contract to apply additional fees as they see fit. ICANN is supposed to be a Government structured and monitored body, while Verisign is a 100% for profit corporation which has made Billions, each and every year over the past three decades. They are now both enriching themselves by manipulating a sheer monopoly which should fall foul of many laws and governmental oversight. Does this behind-the-curtain deal smell even slightly untainted to anyone??? Every level of the internet - from registrars to owner/users will be adversely affected by this exclusive arrangement and none of us should allow ourselves to be fleeced in this manner. Domain charges are already higher than they should be. Fees have increased over the years and we accepted it just because "it must have been justified." No more. Bring out the Guillotine.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Angelo Embuldeniya's Public Comment on Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Angelo Embuldeniya Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Dear Goran and Team ICANN, I am completely in disagreement with the proposed changes to the agreement with Verisign Inc. on .COM pricing. Through this email, I am formally communicating my protest at this proposed change which you have negotiated secretly with Verisign and without consulting or incorporating feedback from the ICANN community or Internet users. As a .COM owner, I am completely against this increase in pricing which will fully harm other owners (and the internet as a whole), given that .COM domains make up 40% of all registered domain names online. According to the agreement ICANN have negotiated with Verisign, they will be allowed to increase the wholesale price to registrars for .COMs 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. It is also essential to state the fact here that there is zero clarity by ICANN as to how the planned funding of $20 million dollars by Verisign to ICANN in support of DNS initiatives will be spent, and most importantly who will ensure that the funds are properly spent on domain infrastructure instead of lining ICANN executive team's pockets. I strongly agree with the perspective voiced by other .COM domain owners like myself that these proposed changes will have significant impact on the internet for years to come, and only ICANN and Verisign have participated in this decision. In conclusion, I say this to you Goran and your Leadership Team at ICANN that these proposed changes of amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement is: Not In My Name! Best regards, Angelo * P.S.* I have copied the three domain name registrars with whom I frequently transact with and purchase domains so they are aware of my formal disagreement to ICANN's proposed changes to the .COM Registry Agreement. -- *Angelo Embuldeniya* *Phone: *+1 (289) 925.2377 *Email: *angelo(a)linkforchange.org

Dear sir or madam I was alerted to the issue of .com fees being raised by my provider Namecheap. I see no logical reason why domain names should be charged at any higher rate than they currently are. The amount of website addresses globally must surely mean that revenue increases yearly in any case and is a highly sustainable business model in itself. Increasing the prices is a barrier to small businesses like myself and to non-profits organisations and charities. It serves no higher purpose to charge any more for domain names and is a disservice to people who rely on websites for their livelihood. I implore you to think with logic, compassion and emotional intelligence about the effects of this change on those who use .com websites. I also urge you to reflect on the true intentions for these changes. An increase in prices cannot be to improve functionality for users because the price has no bearing on that. Therefore, who does a price increase actually benefit? Selfish intentions always come with consequences. Yours faithfully Jacqueline McGinn Namecheap customer and small business owner

I am strongly opposed to the proposed price increase to .COM domains. "ICANN is a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with participants from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable." If ICANN is supposed to operate for the public benefit then how exactly does this policy help to promote public benefit when a major multi-billion dollar corporation is solely benefited? There is no financial justification to raise the price, it's the upkeep of a simple database the price increase is simply because they can as proven advancements in technology are driving the cost of operating a registry down, yet domain prices keep going up for registrants. Verisign is merely the manager, not the owner, of the .COM Registry. It is allowed to operate the extension by contract and should have no role in setting the price. There is no "public benefit" justification to these changes. It is simply a handout to a company with a de facto monopoly at the expense of registrants. This is on the heels of the .ORG contract debacle where ICANN ignored the overwhelming public sentiment against it, and moved forward in removing price caps. Now we also have the pending .ORG sale to a private equity company which involves several former ICANN leaders and connected parties. This deal is currently being investigated by the California Attorney General. ICANN is facing a crisis in credibility. Is ICANN actually working in the public interest or not? I have seen some reports that claim that ICANN is pocketing $20 million dollars over 5 years from Verisign as a part of this deal, in most sectors of business this is called bribery and should violate most code of ethics policies, regardless of how it's being branded as a support for ICANN's future initiatives because there is no specifics around how the money must be spent. I would be ok with this if I 100% knew it wasn't ending up in personal pockets. Thanks, Darrel S

I use the Internet but I am not a .com registrant. 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.
