[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] Please keep price cap
by Igor V. Timofeev April 25, 2019

I vote for keeping price cap for .info TLD as it maintain networking business in predictable frames. Unless many interesting projects just get off due to raised price tag. Wbr, Igor V. Timofeev Motion designer, web developer, TYPO3 integrator www.tigr.biz

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] Price Cap Removals
by Frank Rose April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

I am writing against the proposed removal of price caps on .org domains. As a small business owner, accessibility to branding is crucial for the success of my business. Removing price caps has the likely potential to keep these sorts of customizations in the hands of larger businesses exclusively. I strongly urge you to keep the current 10% restriction on price increases. Frank Rose Santa Fe, NM

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] Feedback on the .info agreement
by Thomas James April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Hello, I am a .info registrant and I would like to make the following comments. ICANN does not seem to recognize the difference between a legacy extension created with the support of the US government, that predates the existence of ICANN and that has millions of existing users and the brand new extensions that started off with a new set of rules, in particular no price controls, and no existing registrants. They have completely different characteristics, history, and ownership structure. It is not acceptable for ICANN to ignore these differences and to propose that they be treated the same. Removing price caps is not fair to .info domain owners. Many of them have websites that they have used for years. If price caps are removed, the cost to renew their domain names may become too expensive, and they could be forced to give up websites that are important to them. The Uniform Rapid Suspension policy is too new and untested to apply on domain names that may be 20 years old or more. With the URS, the domain names could be taken down in a matter of days with little notice. ICANN should be doing more to protect owners of .info domain names. Why is ICANN trying to remove price protections for .info domain owners, so many of which are non-profits, so that they can be overcharged for their domain names? Sincerely, Thomas James

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] Don't Remove The Price-Cap
by Thomas Wright April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

This is just a terrible idea. Nothing good will come out of this. The world wide web & The Internet are forums for the people. The corporations are our guests. Taking the malleability and usability away from the people by making it more difficult to own and maintain a corner of the web will just invite disaster. Even today's prices are too high for some. Please consider keeping the price-cap. Removing it will just make things harder on small business owners and socially active members of our society.

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] Contract Pricing Provisions
by John Palmer April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Removing a cap on price increases would be detrimental to our organization and other organizations with which I am affiliated. We don’t see an increase in business revenues that would be commensurate with a price increase that exceeds inflation. I believe that all ICANN price increase provisions should be capped at an objectively-set inflation rate across the board. There is no foreseeable R&D or innovation justification in this field that would justify excessive price increases, only excessive profits for the domain name registry entities. Thank you. John S.

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] Simple bad ideia!
by Dercio Frade April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

IF ICANN, the organization that oversees domain names, removs price caps on all .org, .info, and .biz top level domains this will significantly increase the wholesale price for domains, and would force ALL to pass along those increases to the end user. This is a simple bad ideia. Hopefully wont go throut with it.

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] Please do not allow unlimited .info price increases
by Dan Carew April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Hello there, I use a .info domain for personal use. One primary reason I chose .info was because it was affordable and would remain as such. Please do not permit the .info TLD to allow large price increases, at least not for existing customers. Identities are built on domain names, and many would be hurt if they had to change their domain or face price extortion. Thank you for your consideration. Dan Carew www.dancarew.info
