[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Please Don't Increase the Price of .COM

[Ali Raza]

Hi ICANN team,



Please amend your proposal to allow Verisign raise fees for .COM domains.

The domains are already expensive as they are for individuals and small

businesses. Internet and IT have always demonstrated economies of scale.



While I understand that there are costs involved to maintain the security

of it, Verisign should be addressing them through innovation and by

lowering the expenses for domain registration, and then using those

efficiency gains to drive other important goals. If other companies can do

it, Verisign has no excuse. Only companies who have monopoly and do not

innovate allow themselves to raise prices.



Raising prices and not innovating is not good for consumers or 21st century

society when we should be internet more accessible for people. Owning a

.COM domain should not be a luxury, and therefore any price increases is a

step in the wrong direction.



Thank you,

Ali Raza
