[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Price grab
by Tony Daws April 26, 2019

April 26, 2019

We’re all greedy. I get it. But have just increase the limits rather than removing them altogether? This change seems like a bad idea for everyone except a small number of large entities, including your own. - Tony

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Proposed Renewal of .org Registry Agreement
by Claude Bitner April 26, 2019

April 26, 2019

I oppose allowing the Public Interest Registry (PIR) to arbitrarily increase prices for generic Top Level Domains - particularly .org domains. This is not a competitive marketplace, and it deserves careful regulation with allowance for modest increases over time, at most. Deregulation could have disastrous consequences for not-for-profit organizations in particular. Claude Bitner Onsite Computing Services 713.721.5254 (office)

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Why .org domain pricing should not increase
by Dean Jackson April 26, 2019

April 26, 2019

I do not want the .org domain pricing to be allowed to increase by removing the current cap. There are many non-profit organizations I come in contact with that are on a small budget, and every dollar counts. Please consider this reason sincerely and do not remove the cap. Sincerely, Dean Jackson

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Renegotiation of .org registry contract without price caps
by Felix Kasza April 26, 2019

April 26, 2019

Dear ICANN: ICANN used to be an administrator of a common good; ICANN's task was to keep the wheels turning. Since PIR is not going broke, the current pricing schedule, never mind the current way-more-than-inflation price increases, seem to be entirely sufficient to do so. Why, then, treat what was regarded as the property of all (way back when) like something that PIR conceived, invented, and labored to bring forth? Is there any reason why PIR needs to be rewarded for something beyond running a database? I submit to you that there is not. And frankly, you as ICANN should be wondering who PIR's friends within your organization are and whether they suddenly enjoy new cars and luxury holidays. Yours faithfully, Felix Kasza

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Please don’t
by RN April 26, 2019

Please don’t increase prices as this will have a massive impact on domain demand, ultimately resulting in lower revenue for .org registrars as people flock to other gTLDs.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Keep .Org Pricing Limits
by Mike Campbell April 26, 2019

April 26, 2019

I am a .org registrant. The domain name system is a monopoly and as such produces sub-optimal results. To produce better results prices of registrations should remain capped and grow at no more than 2% annually. Michael Campbell

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Price caps for .org domain extension
by Filipe Gomes April 26, 2019

April 26, 2019

ICANN, I urge you to not remove these price caps, in consideration of the many small nonprofit organizations doing good in this world. The money that these new prices would take from them could hurt many great causes. Please stop this measure, and keep the price caps as they are, for the sake of these organizations and their causes. Thank you, Filipe Gomes

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Proposed removal of .org price cap
by Whitby R.J. April 26, 2019

Many .org domains are owned by small non-profit organisations where even the current price is significant. Any increase would make it impossible maintain thus wasting many years in establishing the identity, and allowing others to exploit the good name built up. We have .com (and .co.uk) etc for commercial organisations who can perhaps cope better with exploitation - leave .org for the rest. Richard Whitby
