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

[Đŵåĭŋ ₣ŕåņό‼ ₣ŗåŋċĭŝ]

To Whom It May Concern:

It is disturbing to think that the abovementioned proposal would even be considered by the parties directly involved given the far-reaching latitude of their collective powers.

Over the past two decades, the registration of internet resources identified by the commercial .COM TLD is rapidly increased given greater availability to the internet and website development resources. A steady sustained increase will cause a destabilizing effect throughout the market by making domain registration prices unaffordable and in the same category as other lesser-known (yet seemingly catchy) TLDs. You may also be aware of the fact that the number of domain registrars competing for a tiny piece of the pie has also grown significantly and their customer base has been allowed to expand due to the discounts which are provided on bundled. It therefore means that the registrars themselves will either be forced to absorb the increased costs in an attempt to help them remain competitive, or, it will be passed on to customers – many of whom will simply deem the cost of their own domain too costly.

I urge you to reconsider the agreement. I urge you to carefully think about the possible consequences this agreement could have on the millions of existing customers and the additional millions of potential customers. I urge you to make good business sense prevail and prevent a possible stagnation of the domain registration market.

I thank you in advance for your consideration.
