[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Amendment-3-03jan20 may bring an increase in .COM prices
by Bilal Ahmed Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hi, As a person who runs his business on the Internet, I feel that there should be more transparency in the contract going forward between Verisign and ICANN on which this amendment is based. What worries me is that there is expected to be a considerable rise in the .COM wholesale prices in the coming years. A review of this ongoing amendment will be highly appreciated. Thank you. Regards, Ahmed

The internet gives us the opportunity to break through and have a better life. Increasing the prices means taking away that opportunity from me and my friends. I am from Nigeria and the internet is how I make my living. So, how I'm I expected to keep my business if the domain name keeps increases Every dollar increase is a lot for me. Please don't do this!

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] verisign contract regarding .com domains
by Dan Lang Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I feel let down by ICANN's recent decision regarding it's contract with Verisign. Raising the rates on .com domains is going to make things harder for a lot of people. I feel like the vast majority of domains are very low traffic or don't even point to a website. This is going to make it tougher for low income entrepreneurs like myself to eek out a living. I appears to be a huge money-grab by big business. Shame on you for selling out. Daniel Lang St. Paul, MN USA

ICANN, I disapprove of any changes in price to the .com domains. We need to keep the web accessible to everyone. These price-hikes will push people who have the most room to grow using the internet, away from doing so. -Philip Bayer ᐧ

by Mikkel Rostock Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hello there, I am very much against increasing .com prices, as a matter of fact I think it would be a much more welcome initiative to do something against domain speculators and people buying random domains that will never be used. Why not look at rules to prevent people from holding on to domains that are not being used for 6, 12 or 18 months? Mvh Mikkel Rostock

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Stop Domain Price Increase
by Basic Pototo Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Increasing the domain prices is absurd, It's already expensive enough for 3rd world countries to afford a domain and pay ~12$-15$ each year for renewals. Increasing the domain prices will affect small business and new independent bloggers/developers who wish to step into the world of blogging/devlopment. Moreover it will affect small businesses to take their business online because it will be expensive more than ever. Please understand that there are a lot of areas in this world which already can't afford to pay for domains every year, by increasing the prices you are killing their dreams. Please stop this price increase.

People who own domains for personal reasons and not for intent to create a income will not be able to afford or warrant these price increases. I own a domain so I can have a custom image uploader and have a small portfolio of gaming achievements. If prices increase trying to pay for a domain and a basic shared hosting will become harder. I don’t agree to these changes. Kind Regards, Ryan Sent from my iPhone

Good morning, I would like to submit this comment to advise icann that the most impactful towards small business and self employed clients who their budget is smaller than a bigger company this will impact the online community and will force us to use alternative domains it is very greedy what's being done here as the number of domains is endless. Yet you were paid 12 million in my opinion as a form of bribe. Kindly think over it. And keep in mind the small people. Regards Jurgen. Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/ghei36>

Good day, I've just read that domain name prices will be increasing significantly over the next few years. Having low cost domain names fosters innovation. It allows us to experiment with the creation of websites, some of which may add great value in future. I would like ICANN to reconsider their motives in this aspect.

I've recently learned about the proposed amendment 3 and I'm outraged at the lack of transparency and honesty surrounding this deal. This decision will affect millions of people, and yet there seems to be no discourse among those people. This makes you appear to be acting in bad faith. What will you do to counter those optics? Or...do you not care because you'll be stuffed to the gills with cash from Verisign? Please do better, ICANN.
