[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement

[Alex Guzman]

I'm from Trinidad and Tobago. We're a small island developing state in the
Latin America/Caribbean region. Our ability to register domain names is
already affected by the unfavorable exchange rate to USD.

A glance at the rates at which people register new domains for our region
will surely reflect that it's already less likely for our businesses to
create their own  .Com websites.

I believe that increasing the price of registration of new addresses will
have a disproportionate negative impact on the stakeholders and potential
stakeholders in our region.

Full disclosure: I use the Internet but I am not currently a .com
registrant. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains.

I believe that the current rate of $7.85 is already far more than
justified.

I believe that ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the
public interest and has a moral obligation to consider users in SIDS as
well as regions that are not economically advantaged.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter,
 Alejandro Guzman
 Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago
