[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by John Carolan Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 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. John Carolan

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Amendment 3 - price increase NOT OK
by Jonathan de Reede Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Hi, I'm opposed to the price increases as outlined in the amendment 3. It seems the result could lead to a 70% wholesale price increase which is NOT OK. Dot COM domains have to be affordable for everyone. Also not really in favour of having a commercial company running these services for Icann. Please make sure only a very limited price increase can be made over the next 10 years. Kind regards, Jonathan de Reede

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Refusing ICANN domain price increment
by Loai EL-Gendy Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

It seems these increases will cripple a lot of new .coms and stop the growth of the business which is needed to have strong economies. I for one am against these increases. It is hard enough to get started in this time and age with all the increase and regulations put forth by the so-called regulators and policy elites. I find the upcoming changes in the new deal between Verisign and ICANN is wrong. Important big decisions like this wich will affect millions of internet users should not be down to only two companies to decide. The internet consumers, both users and the industry as a whole should be listened to in big important deals like this. In many countries there are competion rules that wouldnt allow near monopolies like this being created. Please listen and respect the rest of us users and keep important deals like this transparent and open for inputs from all users of the net. We are one world. Lets work together and. Lets not let greed rule. --- Thank you and best regards *Loai El-Gendy* *+201092309390*

It is disappointing to hear that ICANN is raising prices on .COM domains at a time when the Internet continues to become more centralized and dominated by large corporations. Now more than ever we need to continue to keep the internet as open to all as possible. Please do not proceed with this action.

Hello: As a fan of the Internet and a domain owner, the proposed amendment is not in favor of Internet users or domain owners, nor is it a fair or best practice. No more deals behind closed doors! No more ignoring and suppressing public comments! Scheduled price increases for .com domains is BOGUS! You are also getting $20 million from Verisign with ZERO public disclosures or accountability for this sum! This attack and power grab on tiny players with .com domains who are barely scraping by to earn a living IS WRONG and UNETHICAL. Reverse your course. Pamir Kiciman Sent from Mail for Windows 10

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] 7% increase is not in the public interest
by Michael Sweet Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Running a domain registry is like running a public utility - such a company should be able to make a steady profit but operates for the common, public interest. Verisign is clearly able to provide their services and still make a reasonable profit at the current price-per-domain. A 7% per year increase in domain pricing is not in the public interest and will only slow continued growth of the Internet and adversely affect smaller domain holders. A quick search of COLA values across US government and private sector reports shows anywhere from 1.5% to 2% (1.6% for social security), so any increase to the .com registry costs should be limited to no more than 2%. ________________________ Michael Sweet

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Domain name must be affordable and accessible for everyone
by Diego Quintero Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

In any way the ICANN decides to regulate the domain protocols, it should not be allowed the prices to be raised for any domain extension and must be normalized the prices so that resellers can keep also they prices low. Monopoly or exclusive control over domain protocol or extension to private agendas will only result in moving the opposite direction. Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement must not be approved. ----------------------------- *Diego Quintero* *MBA, Gerente de Proyectos & Diseñador Web* *DiegoQuintero.pro* <https://www.linkedin.com/in/diegohquintero/>

Dear Icann, I don't believe you are acting in the best interests of the consumer or the whole. I am not happy to learn .COM wholesale domain prices can grow by more than 70% over and above current prices over the next decade based on decisions made behind closed doors. Please make your policies and choices transparent and incorporate feedback from the ICANN community and Internet users before making a final decision. You can do better.

by Andreas Loibl Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 To whom it may concern, I hereby express my disapproval of the above amendment, because 1) ICANN should stay and independent body - and not creating a kind of monopoly by teaming up with big players like Verisign, just to 2) negotiate behind closed doors a price increase of .COM domains, that effects SMEs ("You Inc") or even just early participants, 3) without declaring how that money would be spent for e.g. improving the domain infrastructure. So I would suggest that A) ICANN remains equidistant to all players, B) and transparently discusses monetary requirements C) to keep DNS/TLDs functional and as open as possible for as many participants as possible by not establishing another market barrier especially for SMEs by rising .COM fees.

Feb. 12, 2020

Dear Sirs, I am against this proposed amendment As a small business owner, the prospect of a 7% a year price hike for each domain I own (and I own several) fills me with dread. It risks dissuading people from domain name purchases. In addition, I feel allowing Verisign to operate as a domain name registrar provides them with an unfair competitive advantage over existing registrars. I would also like to see more transparency about how ICANN plans to spend the Verisign investment. In short, this idea is not well thought through, and I hope you will reconsider.

by Andy Hebrank Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Perhaps if Verisign is unable to operate efficiently enough to fund ICANN adequately, ICANN can bid out .com management in a manner than explicitly funds a $20m initiative? Or simply fund-raise, like other non-profits? Considering there are large internet infrastructures companies (CloudFront is an example) that are able to offer DNS services at-cost, I can see no legitimate justification for a price increase. The $20m kickback, a fraction of what Verisign stands to make, is reprehensible.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] DO NOT RAISE .COM TLD PRICES
by Abel Thomas Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

To Whom It May Concern: It is simply unacceptable what you are doing with raising domain name prices, behind closed doors, to further fund your corporate partnerships and profit margins. This is a formal request to keep the internet open and accessible to all. Hiking prices for the most widespread TLD in the world, by ~70% over the next decade, makes it inaccessible to so much of our internet population. As a company, you are only as strong as your user base, and therefore have a responsibility towards us. Know that we will fight, and we will find ways around your constraints and blatant abuses of power. You are 1%; we are 99%. ICANN & Verisign will crumble as soon as the populace decides you are no longer worth our time or money. DO WHAT IS RIGHT, or we will make sure you fail. *--* *Abel Thomas*

ICCAN and VeriSign shouldn't make changes in secrete without stake holder participation or without consultation from other service providers like namecheap and other agencies.These changes are going to affect alot of businesses especially upcoming entrepreneurs who ran small personal businesses online with little capital for as low as $70 per month.ICCAN and VeriSign should have conducted a research from different countries especially Africa where the economy is not fast growing. ICCAN should have used economics of scale of different countries before making changes.Business is not about making huge profits but it's about customer satisfaction and flexibility interms of financial benefits. Should ICCAN and VeriSign go ahead making changes,Thousands of businesses online will lose revenue and the people will lose confidence and trust in ICCAN and VeriSign. Secondly Making such changes will also increase level of unemployment in other countries because lots of young generation from University collevels or even those who never had chance to attend college because of financial challenges are doing small businesses online such as digital marketing and advertising services.Most importantly ICCAN and VeriSign may also lose business because of unfair changes or prices without consultation from expert's

Feb. 12, 2020

Dear Sir or Madam ICANN and Verisign contract amendments I write to convey my utter dismay on your decision to amend ICANN's contract with Verisign without public consultation. The Internet, as we have all witnessed, has, on one hand, brought freedom of expression in a manner and at a scale that is unprecedented in human history. On the other hand, It has made possible an equally astounding feat: an open and truly globalised market. Yet, your actions now put the very foundation of the Internet in jeopardy. Your deal with Verisign has potential not only to drive the domain registration fees higher, thus putting it out of reach for people like me, but, to add insult to the injury, will also make the Internet a less democratic and competitive place. Are we to witness yet again the interest of the multitude to be sacrificed to benefit the few? I wish it were not so. I wish for a friendlier and more open world for our youth. Would you then not stay your action?

Feb. 12, 2020

Dear ICANN, ICANN has been granted governance over the domain system. Good governance means with consent of the governed and in their interests. In this case, the governed end users would very much like .com domains to stay inexpensive and reliable. The proposed conflict of interest between Verizon the .com domain operator and Verizon the future reseller of .com domain registration, will inevitably squeeze consumers and hurt competition. As long as Verizon has a monopoly over .com domain operation, it needs to stay regulated like a monopoly, with price caps. As a domain owner and affected end user, T. Bohl

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Silvan Bucher Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Hello, I would like to voice my opposition to Proposed Amendment 3. I believe that 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. These price hikes will impact the millions of small, independent businesses and developers that rely on the system as is to make their livelihood. Further, this could prove yet another point of pressure that convinces a small business to make their online presence exclusively in the Facebook walled garden and eschew the web itself. 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. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. Silvan Bucher Luzern, Switzerland

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] changes to the contract with Verisign, Inc.
by Robert Ericsson Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Hi, As a consumer of domain registrations, I’m not supportive of the changes being considered for the contract with Verisign, Inc. My understanding is that this will result in potentially steep price increases for domain registration without clearly defined initiatives to support the security and stability of the system. In addition, it seems that this will give a great deal of power to Verisign, Inc. and place it in an overly dominant position within the domain registration hierarchy. Best regards, Robert Ericsson rob(a)l10systems.com

Please, do not create conditions for Verisign to be allowed to increase the wholesale price to registrars for .COM domain every year for 8 ou of the next 10 years. Remember, there are a lot of good humans among us, trying to have a good domain name to put into good use for everyone! Thank you.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] price surge
by Stefan Sels Feb. 12, 2020

Feb. 12, 2020

Hi, i don't see why such a price surge is necessary. Costs for hosting get cheaper every year and there is no real invention or new technology happening in the domain registry space. I would understand if those price cuts would be turned into cheaper registration fees, not pretty steep increases.

To whom it may concern, I am concerned about the potential increase in .com prices over the next 10 years. I don’t believe that all stakeholder groups have been properly considered or given sufficient voice before this decision was made. This decision has the potential to affect countless people across the next decade, and therefore greater transparency and greater stakeholder consideration is required. Regards, Melody
