[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Don’t increase the .COM price
by Sunny Kumar Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Once again, you’re making back-room deals to benefit corporate interests over the needs of all internet users. I am OPPOSED to the removal of price controls. ICANN should represent ALL Internet users and not just pursue its own profits. -- Sunny Kumar Blogger | Affiliate Marketer [image: facebook icon] <https://www.facebook.com/5unnykum4r> [image: linkedin icon] <https://www.linkedin.com/in/5unnykum4r> [image: twitter icon] <https://twitter.com/5unnykum4r> [image: youtube icon] <https://instagram.com/5unnykum4r> email: 5unnykum4r(a)gmail.com TheGuideX , Connaught Place 110001, New Delhi.

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

Feb. 11, 2020

To whom it may concern I was shocked to hear that the proposed amendments to the .com Registry Agreement were discussed only between ICANN and Verisign. This lack of consultation smacks of corruption and is clearly not in the best interests of internet users. Please review any need to go ahead with such a strange and unfair process without involving a much greater number of stakeholders. Yours sincerely Kylie Wallace

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.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Amendment 3
by Peter Palumbo Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Please do not approve Amendment 3 allowing an increase of 24% over the last 4 years of each 6 year period. Though I understand increasing costs of services, there is no reason for that increase to be greater than the rate of inflation. That would be at most an increase of 3.5% over the last 4 years. Please do not do this. Creators and small businesses need the ability to access fair price domains for increased innovation. Thank you for your consideration.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Dot Com Price Increase
by John Robinson Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Hello, I'm writing to discourage adopting Amendment 3. The ability to register tlds at a reasonable price is essential for keeping the internet a level playing field. If the dot com tld eventually becomes prohibitively expensive for individuals, we will witness even more corporate consolidation of power. Further, the amendment was drawn up without input from registrars. While the deal with Verisign might seem lucrative for your organization, it would ultimately be detrimental for the internet at large. Thank you, John Robinson 1131 Virginia Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30306

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Oppose .COM price increases
by LJ E Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I oppose the approval of increased prices for Verisign who would 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. Leslie Estes

Hi, Been informed of your proposed changes by my domain name registrar. My domain is an academic one that just has my research work and CV. This is not like a business domain that earns money. Such hikes are bound to hurt me thoroughly, also considering that I don't earn anything meaningful in academia. Please make such considerations before making drastic changes. Thanks. James

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Opposition against .com price increases
by Dan Velasco Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

I would like to voice my opinion, I strongly oppose the price hike of .com for the next 10 years that iCANN and verisign have agreed on. This does not benefit the consumer. It hurts the consumer, and it hurts the internet. This price hike is unnecessary. Costs have not gone up, thus there’s no reason to raise prices. The internet belongs to our society, to the people, and it should be accessible. When you increase the price of .com this will snowball into price increases with everything linked to the internet because .com is a big part of the internet. This will hurt and decrease accessibility to the internet by the consumer. And the internet is of and for the people. Plus iCANN has received 20 million dollars from verisign and they have not disclosed what it’s for. It’s only a sign that there is some undisclosed business that will hurt the consumer and only benefit iCANN and Verisign. Please put a stop NOW to this proposed rate hike of 10 projected years. Please save accessibility to the internet. Thank you.

I am a small business owner and registrant of a .com domain name that is vital to my small businesses success. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. The internet is supposed to be a place to allow people to come together and democratize voices, not filter out voices to only those that can afford the luxury. 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. In our modern society, the public interest is regular being railed against by corporations, lobbyists, and special interest groups. Please stand up and support the public interest (fulfill your role and protect against corporate greed). Ryan Richmond, Virginia United States

by Loot n Booty Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

greetings, I realize the people that pay and use the internet have absolutely no control in this matter. it is typical practice in business to create a need for people , suck them in and then screw them to their limits. Wal-Mart is an example of that , but that will be in the near future. all I can say about this that you are doing to us may hopefully get regulated as some of us begin to lobby to the government that this likely is a monopoly and therefore subject to legislative control. that is my hope. but I personally have no hooks in me like the hundreds of millions of registered .coms that you will inevitably fuck senseless, I can drop my .coms they don’t mean enough to me that would allow me to be fucked like that! so you give in to your dark side, take the bait and hope it doesn’t bite you in your own ass! ciao!

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Objection: ICANN Allows .COM Price Increases
by Updatednet Support Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

ICANN This result is that the company that controls almost 80% of the registrar pricing for domain names will compete directly with all domain registrars, maximizing its control of domain name pricing to the detriment of other competing registrars. While this might result in lower prices to consumers, fewer registrars will harm competition, choice, and domain name services. Regards, Support

I was appalled to learn about ICANN and Verisign's impending changes to domain registration. I hold almost 100 .com domains, and the new amendment could lead to a 70% price increase for my domains in only 10 years and with no apparent added value. Domains should be getting cheaper, not more expensive! It's also insulting that this was no brought to the Internet community far in advance. It really gives the impression that ICANN and Verisign have conspired to increase their own profits and create a monopoly over the domain market.

Dear Sir/Madam, It is out of frustration and anger that I send this email to you. I totally object the idea of raising the cost of .com without notice and the cost of maintaining should be lower instead of higher. Now the proposed price increase is outrageous. Even if there is any special reason for raising the price, it should be very mild and reasonable but iI doubt the reason behind such a move.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Opposed to upcoming changes
by Nick Tapalansky Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

Not only is the scale, and lack of ceiling on the price hikes for .com domains absurd, the fact that Verisign can now act as a reseller of these domains, and happens to be paying ICANN $20 million in relation to these upcoming changes, feels like the beginning of the end of a free and open internet (not to mention a deeply concerning bit of insider dealing). Unclear business dealings aside, increasing domain costs will significantly impact registrars for approximately 40% of the internet, potentially reducing the number of registrars able to operate and, therefore, begin culling Verisign’s competition. Increasing cost will also create a higher barrier of entry for content creators around the world when the remaining registrars are forced to pass costs on to their customers. In short, I’m deeply opposed to the proposed changes, and very uneasy about the lack of transparency in the dealings that have brought the changes forward.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] .COM CHANGES BY ICANN
by Ed Cintron Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To whom it may concern, I learned recently that last month, ICANN, the organization that oversees domain names, announced significant changes to the contract it has with Verisign, Inc. who operate the .COM top-level-domain (TLD). I also learned that ICANN made these changes in secret, without consulting or incorporating feedback from the ICANN community or Internet users. ICANN has a history of making similar deals behind closed doors, and also of ignoring unified opposition against such action. I am vehemently against price increases that will harm me as a customer (and the Internet as a whole). I would like to state that in the interest of keeping the internet affordable to all I am opposed to Amendment 3! Ed Cintron

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] The internet must remain a resource for the people by the people
by Brian Heston Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

The internet is built on open standards and protocols, of which DNS is one of the original and most basic. There is no place for private back room deals in a service like this. It’s understandable that a service this old needs some updates and maybe even a larger overall, but this must stay open and in the public, not behind closed-door deals. This should be considered akin to a monopoly as a single company has control over the most popular top-level domain. Obviously and technical advances for any top-level domain should apply to all TLDs, so there is no valid reason Verisign and .com domains should be any different than others. Do not support this amendment.

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] I OPPOSE proposed changes with Verisign!!!
by Yol Swan Feb. 11, 2020

Feb. 11, 2020

To Whom It May Concern, I am appalled at your attempt to make significant changes to your contract with Verisign, Inc. in regards to .COM domains without consulting internet users or the ICANN community of domain registrars. These changes would significantly increase wholesale prices in the future, which in turn would greatly affect customers like myself who rely on various domains to run a business. The Internet has become an integral aspect of modern life, which means that many people, like me, will renew their domains for many years to come. These proposed changes would make .COM domains less accessible and more expensive for everybody. Furthermore, Verisign already controls almost 80% of the registrar pricing for domain names, so allowing it to operate its own registrar or as a reseller would compete directly with all domain registrars, maximizing its control of domain name pricing to the detriment of other registrars. Fewer registrars would harm competition, choice, and domain name services. I strongly OPPOSE any changes to your contract with Verisign, and hope you will not ignore the unified outrage of the internet community, like you've done in the past, out of arrogance and greed.

Dear ICANN, I have seen reports that say a deal is being struck whereby *Verisign will be allowed to increase the wholesale price to registrars for .COM domains by 7% each year in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. After a two year freeze, Verisign can increase prices by 7% annually during 2026-2029, then another two year freeze. This cycle will continue. * I'm a micro business owner (writing coach and author). To help me run the various aspects of my business, I have a number of domain names. It's already hard for me to to find room in my budget to keep all my domain names afloat. I've been having to let go of some of them already, even without this series of price increases. That means I've had to let go of entire websites. This negatively affects my livelihood. Please keep domain names affordable for the many of us who don't have huge budgets to support our businesses. Thank You, Milli Thornton (505) 234-4156

Hi, I don't know if you're going to see my comments or even read not to talk of responding to it. I just got a mail this morning from Namecheap about a possible hike in the price of the .com tld name. You see, I'm worried about the possible impact this move would have on small businesses like mine. I'm from Nigeria and over here we are under a scorching bundle of unemployment and underemployment. Running an internet-based business has been the saviour or must of us. By increasing the annual domain name, you're literally taking the only source of hope away from millions of people whose only hope of earning pursuing their dreams is through online businesses. Of course, you may have had your reasons for the increment, but can you please, try to sample the opinions of vendors like NameCheap? That way, our concerns can also be carried along in the decision making process.

Please do not allow this to happen. Best wishes, -Cliff Stoll Acme Klein Bottles kleinbottle(a)kleinbottle.com www.kleinbottle.com 6270 Colby Street Oakland, CA 94618 USA

[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed price increase should NOT be Allowed

I am a lower middle class individual registrant of many .com domain names. All of these are my personal websites. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices. The current rate of around $9 is already far more than justified. Especially for individuals and very small lower middle class business owners like me. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interests. Proposed price increase should NOT be allowed. Samiullah Khan Pakistan
