[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] Opposed to Unlimited Price Increase
by Douglas Deslauriers April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

To whom it may concern, I would like to record my dissatisfaction with Section 2.10 of the .info renewal agreement. Removing a price increase limit seems unnecessary to me. Until the registry operator can prove that nearly all money gained from previous price increases went directly into maintenance, or improving the registry service, I do not think it is wise to remove price increase caps. The previous price cap seems reasonable enough, given the average U.S. inflation rate hovers around 2-3%. Douglas Deslauriers Software Engineer

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] Don't do it!

Allowing a monopoly freedom to set prices is a guarantee that prices will increase dramatically. The only way to prevent this is to put constraints on the monopoly. Please maintain the annual price increase ceiling. Steve 989-415-1563

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] Keep limits to increase of wholesale prices for .info domains
by Mark Kadzie April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

I am the IT Manager of a public library, and we use the .info domain for our primary internet presence. Many other libraries and public organizations do as well. Please keep limits on the wholesale price of the .info domain. Unlike other, more commercial TLDs, the .info domain should remain affordable for the use of public organizations working for the common good.

by Andrew Dramm April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Dear ICANN, I am a .org, .info & .biz registrant with multiple domains of each. I am writing to express my disapproval of the proposal to allow PIR to set there own price. I am also against any similar contract proposals that may impact .info, .biz and/or any other domain pricing.

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] Please do not remove .Info price caps
by sean April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

I have been a ".info" user for many years (wagstaff.info) and this domain is continues to be crucial to my small business. The potential for dramatic price increases form this domain name threatens my use of the name - and could unfairly force me to relinquish the domain to larger, wealthier organization with an interest in taking it over. Please continue to support small, independent business owners by keeping domain costs fixed at affordable prices. Thank you, Sean Wagstaff.

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] Disagreement
by Istvan Miklos April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Hello, I disagree with the proposed request. It is hard for us to start any kind of business when prices skyrocket. Currently, the domain name prices are good. I don't need the shark-like competition in the domain name field too. It is enough that I have to pay around 3600 euros for 1024 IPv4s. In Romania, that amount is huge, compared to the national currency. And then there's the hardware that we have to buy to start a hosting business or whatever. The answer is NO!

I am strongly opposed to the removal of the price cap for the .info domain. Doing so serves no useful purpose and will be a detriment to many organizations and businesses.

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] removing .info legacy price caps threaten small organizations
by CarolMoore1776 April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

A number of excellent objections to raising the cap on info legacy TLDs have been explained here. I have another issue. I am an .info registrant for a small website that advocates for a specific issue. While .net is my main site, I forward from the .info domain to .net because I advocate for nonviolence on the topic and do not want those who advocate for violence to be able to use one of the top domain extensions to confuse themselves with my site. I also don't want it to be used to mimic or mock my site or even to defraud visitors. (My main site already was hacked once by possible opponents to the nonviolent philosophy.) Similar concerns apply to individuals who do not want their name sullied with false sites mocking or misrepresenting them. I find it difficult to believe that an organization like ICANN would force small organizations and websites that protect themselves in the same way have to let go of their .info extensions. This could lead to various attacks on their reputation. Yes, speculators and domain investors can be annoying. But at least if you want a domain back they'll sell it to you. Saboteurs will just hold on to it! I thought when the United States let ICANN go it was to serve the larger public and the world in a fairer way and help keep costs under control for countries with smaller GDP and personal and group incomes. But now I see just the opposite. I am very disappointed.
