Com domains should be easily available to everyone. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. No one want increases in .COM prices other than Verisign. The current rate is already far more than justified. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. Regards, Nithin K Web Application dev Bangalore India

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Set .com domain price increase limits to the rate of inflation
by Wireball - David MacCarter Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

In regards to the wholesale price increases to domain registrars for .com domains, it's probably best to adjust them to no more than the rate of inflation. 7% annually on 3-year cycles with 2-year hiatuses will outstrip the rate of inflation by an ever-increasing margin. That runs the risk of killing private and smaller sites in the long run. On a side note, I'm curious if the actual expense of domain administration is remaining steady (adjusted for inflation), or if the economies of scale are gradually reducing per-domain administration expenses. -- - David MacCarter, Wireball - webmaster(a)wireball.com (Sent from Nine android email)

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .com proposal
by Mary Girgis Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To whom it may concern, I disagree with the .com agreement. According to this new agreement, Verisign will be allowed to increase the wholesale price to registrars for .COM domains every year for 8 out of the next 10 years, and the increases don’t stop there. This will mean that .COM wholesale domain prices can grow by more than 70% over and above current prices over the next decade. The contract also allows for other price increases, which could drive prices up further, ultimately making .COM domains less accessible and more expensive for everybody. Kind regards, Mary

I have 8,000+ domains. I'm a WORKING PERSON building for my kids. Primary concern is growing evidence that ICANN no longer governs "in the public interest." Not listening in any but lip-service fashion, allowing Verisign to continue expanding greed.

Hello,I do not agree with the proposed amendment.These changes are not necessary and will create a price surge in the registration fee of .com domains.No one except ICANN and Verisign will benefit from this amendment.Instead of making the internet more accessible for everyone you are trying to create more obstacles for the consumer.Where does this end?

Hello, I am concerned and very unhappy to find out that .COM prices will drastically increase for several years. This makes my doing business harder! I'm also very unhappy that this Verisign agreement has essentially been made without no public accountability. That's not right. People who are affected by these attempted unilateral changes should be part of this decision. I vote NO for this proposed amendment. Thank you, and please reconsider this decision.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Objection to .COM Registry Agreement proposed changes
by Roger Neate Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To whom it may concern, I am submitting these comments as an objection to the proposed changes concerning management of the .com top-level domain. The process by which the changes to the .COM Registry Agreement were debated and agreed to is opaque. I have no insight into the justification for the potentially onerous fee increases that Verisign will be permitted to make under the proposed agreement. In addition, there is a lack of clarity about the $20 million dollar payment to be made by Verisign to ICANN, how that money will be spent, and how to ensure accountability to the people affected by these changes. The proposed changes to the .COM Registry Agreement should not be adopted without significant additional public input. Sincerely, Roger Neate

by Dean Lind Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I want to briefly write and say that I am vehemently opposed the the .com registration rate increases you are proposing. As a small business owner who registers domains on a regular basis this will have a very negative impact upon ongoing growth. It could even lead to the demise of many businesses. At the very least such increases will have to be passed on to my customers. I'm already operating on a thin margin and this could cripple even that. Please reconsider this draconian proposal.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Com domain price increase
by Rick Hanton Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I am a registrant of a .com domain name just like millions of others around the world. I am very against the proposed price increase to .COM domains because what does it achieve? Perhaps we should setup another network with more reasonable authorities than ICANN. No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices. Obviously huge companies don't care much about their domain costs, but for single users like myself, major increases to domain prices could price me out of the market. Domains are the last place we need stratification in society today. Verisign just manages domain registry lookups for you, but ICANN should set a price reasonable for ALL. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. Please do it. - Rick

Hi, While it is understood that prices are going to be increased, it is to be remembered that now people have many options as well. Increasing .com will lead to non renewals.

Hi, I'm writing to you with regards to the recent decision to increase prices of .com domain. Not only is this decision entirely unfair and sudden, but will affect the Blogger community all around the world. Most of the bloggers using .com are women nowadays, who cant pay enough to meet your 70% price surge. As a result, a lot of new bloggers will stop choosing .com domains, causing a blow to the internet and blogosphere. I implore you to please reconsider this decision and do what's fair to everyone.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Comments on proposed .com amendment
by ►Ray Franklin Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hello. I object to removal of the .com Maximum Price restriction under Section 7.3(d)(i) (Maximum Price) of the .com Registry Agreement. I also object to the new pricing flexibility that allows annual price increases on .com domains in the last four years of each six-year period. Vague assertions that the changes will ensure the "security, stability and resiliency of the Domain Name System (DNS)" don't follow from the proposal. I see no connection between the stability of the internet and the pricing of the .com domain. If, for some unstated reason, ICANN and all the registrars need more money to manage the internet, then I would prefer to have the price increase spread over all domains, and not just applied to the .com domain. Better still, I think the US Department of Commerce should have the sole authority to set the wholesale domain price. To reiterate, I reject the proposed .com RA amendment.
