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

Feb. 10, 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.

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

Feb. 10, 2020

Hello, I think that the registrations of the primary domain extension of the internet should not be a "for profit" enterprise. This includes the entire supply chain of the endeavor, including the manager of the .COM registry (Verisign). Ultimately, ICANN should dictate the prices, and any 3rd parties to the process should be made to be COMPLETELY transparent to their expenses (for the purpose of providing related services) and should operate on, at most, a 10% operating margin (again, for the purpose of providing related services). Prices should be negotiated in good faith by both parties every 3 years. If Verisign does not agree to this, then I'm sure there would be MANY companies who would be willing to take their place given the sheer amount of revenue involved. A quick way to solve this problem would be for ICANN to facilitate a .COM manager selection process every 7 years, and then we'll see what prices Verisign proposes. Thank you, Tom

Feb. 10, 2020

To whom it may concern, I am a registrant of several personal and business .com domain names. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified. An increase of 30% may seem small on an individual level, but could hurt the small business owner and individual with little disposable income. To keep accessibility and access available to the widest audience please do not increase 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. Please take the opinions of valid internet business owners and individuals and do not increase the .COM prices over 30% over the next 2 years.

I am a registrant of a .com domain name and I'm against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. If the cost to maintain the .com registry is less than $3 per domain per year and consumers are already paying double that cost, I see no reason why consumers should pay an increased price to buy a .com. Especially if Verisign already enjoys exclusive rights without a competitor. Thank you for your time and I hope you reconsider the price hikes.

Dear ICANN, I am a registrant of a .com domain name. This TLD has been around since the beginning of the internet. It is not a special-interest TLD but a basic part of providing service to all. The The current rate of $7.85 is already more than other basic and country TLDs. The public has an interest in reserving some basic domain names that are affordable to all, and not turning the internet registration system into a for-profit enterprise.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] No on proposed amendment to allow for annual price increases. This is an attempt to wield monopoly power.
by Raul Debuque Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Sir/Madame: I would like to register my vehement opposition to the proposed amendment. I am not convinced that costs are really rising or are headed towards rising in the near future, especially in the high tech industry where the trend we have seen since the invention of the computer that costs go down not up. What exactly gets more costly on a per registration basis as the number of registered domains increase? If you need more servers, hardware costs per unit computing power are going down. If you need more coders, I don’t see why a doubling of registrations requires a doubling of coders. So what costs is it that are rising or will rise soon? I highly suspect that this amendment is an attempt by Verisign to capitalize on their a government-mandated monopoly position, and is hence an illegitimate proposal and should be turned down. Yours truly, Raul Debuque

To: ICANN, I am a registrant of multiple .com domain names that I use for my business. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains.

by Jered Roberts Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Good morning, As a system administrator for a company based in Memphis, TN, I am for a free internet that allows people from all walks of life to have affordable access to domain registration. Raising the prices is not something that should be dictated by a nonprofit or an independent organization such as Verisign. This is a monopoly that cannot be allowed to exist. We saw this type of trend with telecommunications in the greater half of the 20th century and it led to exorbitant price hikes that the general public were either forced to pay or do without. Communication with other peoples is a right and that should not be limited due to financial ability. I am well aware of operating costs, but 31% seems less on the side of being mandatory and more on the side of being profitable. Be on the side of humanity, not on the side of wealthy corporations that would rob from the pockets of consumers. As we all know, businesses will offset this increase by passing the expense down to consumers through price hikes, effectively punishing the public for having little to no knowledge of the significance of this proposition. Below are my pre-defined options that were imported from the "internetcommerce.org" website; they feature a brief synopsis of my opinions on the matter. Best regards, Jered Roberts | System Administrator Caravan Supply Company | Memphis, TN P: 1 (901) 452-5681 | F: 1 (901) 881-3986 jroberts(a)caravansupply.com<mailto:jroberts@caravansupply.com> | www.caravansupply.com<http://www.caravansupply.com/> [cid:image002.png@01D5E00B.FB7F8C80] [cid:image003.png@01D5E000.ECC89D90] <https://www.facebook.com/Caravan-Supply-Company-122285781162230/> [cid:image004.png@01D5E000.ECC89D90] <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCqwRpaDua3wT-SW6ORw3tQ> [cid:image005.png@01D5E000.ECC89D90] <https://www.linkedin.com/in/caravan-supply-62b452172/> [cid:image006.png@01D5E000.ECC89D90] <https://twitter.com/SupplyCaravan> Get directions here: https://goo.gl/maps/w7SBHMwH1SB2 ================================================================================================== I am a registrant of a .com domain name.

by Kate Buckley Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

To Whom it May Concern: I am both a domainer (I invest in domain names as a business) and an aftermarket specialist (I broker high value names for my clients). I am firmly against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices, and 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. I trust you’ll do the right thing.

Hello, I care about reducing the barriers to the open web. As a registrant of several small scale .com domains, I am opposed to the proposed price increase to .COM domains. I do not think the increase is in the public interest, which is what ICANN is supposed to govern on behalf of. Rob Donnelly

I am a domainer (I invest in domain names as a business). I am a small business owner. My domain portfolio consist of over 3000 registered Tld's domains. Your proposed registration fee increase shall force me, against my wishes, to self liquidate my portfolio holdings if I am to remain in business. I can not afford shouldering what shall amount to a huge monetary increase and financial burden. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest for the greater good. Don't allow nor permit yourselves to all of sudden to be blinded by monet and allow yourselves to become greedy. Please look elsewhere to generate your additional income producing assets or profits. Try more public advertising educating and informing the public to generate greater awareness as to the value of domain ownership. Similarly and just like real estate, there is finite inventory for.coms. Priority Path Steve Greenspan Greenlawn NY 11740

As a small business owner I am VERY opposed to the increases proposed to Dot Com domain name registration and renewal. ICANN is upposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest ... not for the interest of Registrars. Adding costs to domain owners is not called for, and will be detrimental to many small online publishers. We hope that you consider the affect any increases will have on our industry and on the public. I am a registrant of a .com domain name. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains.
