[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] This is a bad idea!
by Luke Strevig April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

I concur completely with this statement and submit this excerpt as my opinion on the subject: I write to oppose the removal of price caps on any of the “legacy” TLDs as doing so will only create a free-for-all on limitless price increases across the well-established board. The new GTLDs are already accepted as alternative options with price expectations that vary greatly based on the registry; however, current registrants of older well established extensions are expected to maintain some level of stability. These legacy domain names, some of which have been registered for many years, are unlike the new mess being created and owners of these legacy names have a reasonable expectation of affordability and stability. The old manta goes ‘if it is not broken, you do not try and fix it.’ The vast majority of domain owners will remain unaffected so long as the fluctuating and exorbitant prices remain in the newer name space; there will be plenty of years ahead for ICANN to benefit from those while allowing stability within the legacy name space. Leave well enough alone and move forward without effecting millions and millions of current and well established registrants who expect their domain expenses to remain reasonable, affordable and stable. All the best, Luke Strevig

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] Insane Proposal
by Terry Jett April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

I think this is a insane proposal. No matter which extensions, allowing this to happen is a very bad idea. Sounds to me like someone woke one morning thinking they were not making enough money. So, let's unregulate the pricing and line our pockets with the poor saps cash. -- Terry J

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] .info pricing
by Russ Gershon April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

I have been using a .info domain for many years for my work as a musician and teacher. In these fields, money is scarce. Higher .info pricing would be a problem for me. Thanks, Russ Gershon Russgershon.info

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] Please stop the proposal to increase .info annual fees.
by Eric Maas April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Please stop the proposal to increase .info annual fees. This will all move online commerce and small businesses to instagram, facebook, Amazon and other market places further monopolizing the web to a handful of companies. This move does not serve the interest of people who use the web, it is a bad move. Thank you, Eric Maas

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] .info renewal comment
by Nathan Schneider April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

I write as an academic and user of multiple .info domains, most of which are used for purposes of public information. I believe the .info TLD should continue to be protected from cost increases. It is not widely used for commercial purposes and is a powerful tool for protecting accessibility to the original purpose of the Internet: sharing information. Please take steps to ensure that this important TLD commons does not fall victim to the commodification that has befallen so much of the Internet.

[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] please maintain current pricing
by Robert B. Gelman April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

The current pricing structure is what allows small startup businesses and nonprofits to get a foothold on a level playing field in the world of online communications. Removing the price cap would destroy that and limit new ideas and good work of all kinds from finding success in this environment. Please maintain current pricing.

Re: [Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] Possible changes to ICANN and PIR fees.
by John April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

I have a number of Domains ending .info, however, I am also aware of a number charitable institutes, on-line specific ailment?? support clubs and associations with little or no spare funds use these TLD's. In my opinion to convert what has thus far been a reasonable cost service provision into the sort of 'wild west' which would be caused by allowing Public Interest Registry (PIR), to ramp up charges without restraint is a shocking betrayal of those domain owners who rely on such fees remaining affordable. Such an action will be a deplorable disservice to millions of small business owners and institutions who would be the ones picking up the bill, and?? worse yet, a bill they would suddenly have no idea regarding how fast or high future costs might rise. I am frankly shocked that an organisation such as ICANN would even?? consider such a change in trading terms as being in any way fair to the billions of domain owners. Sincerely, John Smith. 34 Great Grove. Gloucester UK
