[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Review Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement
by Henry Ejemuta Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I'm Henry Ejemuta and being a software developer with constant use of the .COM TLD and after reviewing the the proposed amendments, I must say this would place the end users at the mercy of Verisign, which I think is totally unfair for the public. Also, following the amendments made October 30, 2016 as highlighted below I also think these proposed amendments are quite to sudden and the intent should be reviewed considering the impact on the general public as the .COM TLD is one of the most used of all TLD. Amendments to Agreement. Effective as of the Amendment Effective Date, (a) Section 4.1 of the Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety by the following new Section 4.1: “Section 4.1 Term. The term of this Agreement shall expire on November 30, 2024, as extended by any renewal terms (the “Expiration Date”).” #I_say_no_to_dot_com_tld_increament

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Increasing centralization of power has never improved any political system
by Neil Waybright Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

The technology system of the internet controls has always had its own politics that helped balance the needs of the various constituents. Allowing Verisign to be both a registrar and the TLD manager for the largest and arguably most important gTLD is unwarranted and dangerous. Under a number of US laws that Verisign operates under, it can be legally defended for taking actions that unfairly impact competitors, and in fact, can be construed as legally required to do so. Remove this conflict of interest from the proposals before implementation. Neil Waybright <https://about.me/neilwaybright> about.me/neilwaybright

To whom it may concerns, The decision regarding the new .com domain payment is not considered the most appropriate due to the negative impact it is going to cause to myself. I wasn't notified at all about this "new strategy" not even my opinion was required to be heard and it seems to be an imposition without any feedback requested. It would be great to keep the fees and payments like they are already. Sincerely, Jonathan Oropeza Obtener Outlook para Android<https://aka.ms/ghei36>

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

Feb. 11, 2020

Hi, The basic fundamental of Internet freedom is it has no owner. It is free in terms of access. But domain registration system is completely broken. ########Consider poor countries when deciding prices. After all no one is owner of internet so it should be affordable to all. ########## The domain price hike should not be the subject to cyclic increase. Verisign is MONOPOLY. 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. Jitendra Surat, Gujarat India

by Mohsin Khan Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Dear Sir/ Ma'am, ICANN We are operating a small website for our office through namecheap.com. Recently I came to know that ICANN announced significant changes to the contract it has with Verisign, Inc. who operate the.COM top-level-domain (TLD). I am from India and as you know we are not a very rich businessman like US or UK. The Internet is helping us coming out of poverty and join the mainstream. $10 is a very small amount for you but for us, but 10 usd is a 3-month telephone/ internet bill. You can guess how it will affect us and even a small change in prices will create a domino effect and millions will have to compromise with their dreams. We request you to please keep the internet available for all of us and especially please keep .com affordable. Big businesses can find a customized TLD but we don't have any option except the dot com. Thanks and Regards MK Khan Rajasthan, India

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed .COM Price Increases
by Debi Lee Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I want to take the opportunity to submit a comment opposing this plan. And at least make 3 brief points. First, I think it’s unacceptable that these decisions were made in such a unilateral fashion and in secret on top of that. Second, it is inappropriate for Verisign to be allowed to function as a registrar. It’s a blatant conflict of interest. Last but not least, there will be many far-reaching effects that I implore you to consider. Accessibility is one. Use of the internet and ownership/use of domains should remain accessible for all. Instituting unlimited (even if over a long term) price increases will make it accessible to less people over time. Additionally, though I’m not sure of numbers, it’s logical to me that millions of .COM domains are owned by entrepreneurs and small businesses. It’s pretty much a necessity nowadays to have an online presence in order to succeed in business. So there will be economic consequences to your decisions as well. And you may want to consider the possibility that you’ll make less money overall because people, like myself, who own many domains will be less likely to do so when faced with consistently increasing prices. Thank you for accepting my comment. Debi Auger
