[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] STOP Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by C Walker Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear Sir/Madam: The internet has provided tremendous opportunity for small business and start-ups. The potential fee increases appears to be excessive. (I wish I could raise my prices 7+% per year with the blessing of the government!) These types of decisions might make the United States Post Office relevant again. Rein in the price increases on .com! Sincerely, C. Walker

Hi, Please see below ... I agree with this in it's entirety. 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. Michael Torriero Detroit

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] VeriSign contract comment
by dan＠lifelighttherapy.com Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear ICANN, The idea that VeriSign could even consider raising prices reeks of corruption. The .com registry prices are already at least double what they would be if there was an open market. Even most registrars make less than $3 per domain, and they have to charge credit cards, maintain individual accounts, and provide customer service to end users. They also often include tools like URL forwarding. There is no way even the current $7.85 can be justified outside of a monopoly. Raising that further is out of the question. The discussion should be how much should VeriSign be forced to lower the price if they want to keep the contract.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comment on Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Stephen Sequeira Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To whom it may concern: I am writing to express my profound disapproval of the proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement. The proposed amendment allows for a possible 70% (or more) increase in wholesale .COM domain prices over the next 10 years. That is ridiculous and unconscionable, especially since there is no reason whatsoever for such a drastic price increase. Furthermore, the whole arrangement looks like straight up bribery. Verisign pays ICANN $20 million, and (surprise surprise) gets a ton of new benefits in return? Well that is the very definition of corruption. Do not enact this amendment. It is unnecessary, unreasonable, and immoral. Sincerely, Stephen Sequeira

I am a registrant of a .com domain name. Unless there is an accompanying benefit, I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. Otherwise, I see no justification for the increase in costs to .com owners. The cost of maintaining my .com domain records is surely not increasing, and the revenue received by these organizations should be more than adequate to maintain the infrastructure profitably.

I'm concerned on not just the purchase of a new domain, but also in the renewal cost which could cause considerable issues for sites that I run for non-profits, sports clubs, friends, and family.... and many URL's that I'm slowly developing.

by Zachary Litten Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hello, I am deeply disappointed by backroom deals such as this. Raising prices like this with no indication as to why only serves those at the top with the power. The internet should be as open and accessible as possible so that everyone may prosper. Keeping domain names at a low price so that anyone may get their website found is a crucial step in this goal. Decisions like this hurt small business and individuals from participating.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Objection to Proposed Amendment 3
by Drew Youngwerth Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

This proposal reduces the accessibility of domains for people all over the world. It provides Verisign with a disproportionate benefit, while providing ICANN little support in return. Part of a healthy internet is keeping domains affordable for the every day person. I whole heartily appose this amendment. Passing this amendment will undermine public view of ICANN. In addition, I believe the amount of money ICANN is already receiving might be causing an issue.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Opposition to usurious price increases
by Stephen Schiff Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Sirs: It has come to my attention that you plan to increase prices for .com domain registration by 7% per annum over the next several years. This despite the low inflation rate that is being experienced in most countries. I see this as a blatant exploitation of your virtual monopolistic position to raise profits at the expense of mostly small domain registrants like myself. I rely on my website to disseminate information about my small business and to facilitate sales. Increasing the price of domain registration beyond the rates that are rational in accounting for inflation introduces hardships on small businesses like mine, because our customers will abandon us if we attempt to pass these unjustifiable increases on to them. I strongly oppose ICANN's proposed rate increases. Stephen Schiff -- Galerie Schiff (TM) Fine Art www.galerieschiff.com

Maybe you guys should be wondering what kind of liability you are accepting for the damages you can potentially cause to businesses like mine? My business depends on domain names I have owned for 25 years. What will my options be to shop for a better rate if your fees go up? Or will I be forced to make a simple choice between accepting the increased cost or losing my business? Isn't that the definition of a monopoly? Maybe it's time this infrastructure be moved into the public domain like utilities where due process and transparency are at least required.

Feb. 11, 2020

To whom it may concern, I'm writing to voice my opposition to Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement. As a consumer and developer of web-based services, I believe the DNS system should be treated as a utility that operates as close to cost as possible. An increase that exceeds the yearly inflation rate is unreasonable. An increase that benefits a single registrar that already has healthy operating margins is unjustified. Please, do not enact Amendment 3 of the .COM Registry Agreement. Thanks for your consideration, -Charlie

The internet is a PUBLIC network and NOT a private one, and changing dos com prices without *any notification* to dot com owners is a an ANTI PUBLIC ANTI DEMOCRATIC decision! This change/s will affect ALL dot com owners and may lead to a MASS dot com domains release to market by owners causing a "black market" for dot com traders and might cause mass websites close downs by the "not rich" owners and sort of giving the internet to rich people only, bringing the internet to a none fair none equal to all position. *Therefore this act should NOT be done!* Unless it will be stopped by YOU! If you will perform this ANTI PUBLIC act, I really hope: 1. It will be stopped by congress, or any other authority, 2. All dot com owners will move to a NOT ICANN domains 3. leaving you with nothing in hand. E.C Some dot coms owner.

To whoever corresponds ICANN, It has come to our attention that, once again, youve made a deal to further increase prices on .COM domains. Even when we searched the web for an explanation to it, we couldnt find any. Due to the nature of your business, whatever decision you take regarding prices affects billions of users and resellers and therefore you cannot make such a decision without the consent of those affected. You need to stop this deal made irresponsible. Best regards, Abg.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] I already let most of my domains go because of the last increases.
by Brad West Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Not sure what is going on besides Liberal greed just like the pharmaceutical companies. I have a few recreational sites left and love them. I am actually looking for a place to host them that has good support. It seems everyone is just trying to price themselves out of this world. A lot of people I know. some that had 600 to 1000 domains just started letting them expire. I know my friend and I had about 100 combined and we are down to less than 10 now since Namecheap increased their prices. So I imagine if this happens people will tighten things up and use the bare minimum and only hold on to just what they actually need. Just like taxing the shit out of corporations until they are forced to leave the country to service. There are other ways to incentivise so things grow instead of killing everything like Democrats do.

To Whom It May Concern: I am opposed to the manner in which these proposed changes to .com’s are unfolding behind closed doors in talks between two big entities and without consumer and other neutral party feedback. It gives the impression that the prices for .com’s will be unnecessarily inflated, thereby allowing the two said parties to make exorbitant amounts of money while providers and consumers will be excessively charged. Please find a better way to discuss, propose and implement any fee increases to .com’s where ALL parties concerned will be treated in a fair and balanced way. Thank You!

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Voting No to ICANN's proposed price increase to .COM domains

I am a registrant of several .com domain names for business use. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM 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.
