[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Please limit .org rates
by Brian Cooley April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

The plan to lift limits on .org domain fees is misguided and ignores the history of .org as a web resource, not a speculative business as with TLDs that came before it. The fees for .org should remain moderate and capped in their growth. Brian Cooley 235 2nd St. S.F., CA 94105

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Will Hurt Community Support
by Anthony White April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Do not allow the currently proposed .org renewal agreement to pass. More specifically, do not lift the price cap for .org domains. Nearly all non-profits, as we all religious entities and organizations, use .org. Many of these barely have enough money to develop a web presence that will help to garner support for the work they are doing in their community. Removing the price cap on .org domains will result in huge renewals and out of reach registrations for these small community support groups. Please do not pass the current proposal with the process cap removed. Thank you. Anthony White

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Preserve price cap on .org domains
by Andrea Lemon April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Many excellent comments have already been posted that argue against removing the price cap on .org domains. Allowing a price hike would hurt millions of non-profit organizations as well as individual domain holders. This would be yet another example of large entities enriching themselves on the backs of individuals and small organizations just trying to make ends meet. The 10% limit on price increases was established for a good reason. To quote another commenter, "Allowing PIR, the registry operator, to act monopolistically with such a prominent TLD goes against what the Web should be."

by Russell Symonds April 25, 2019

Any increase in .org costs tend to go to the customer. I cannot afford any increases; I have enough increases to contend with in other services already.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] .org domains renewal fee
by Diana . April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Hello, I'm an open source software developer who has free software projects distributed through .org domain names. Removing the price cap could be disruptive, since uncontrolled price increases of .org domain renewals could impact my ability to have a website to distribute free software products. Diana Moldt

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] please maintain current pricing structure for top level domains
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.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Please don't increase .org registration fees
by Jason Rosenbaum April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

As the director of technology at a nonprofit, .org registration fees affect us as well as millions of others. The .org domain name is meant for nonprofits and causes, so capping fees makes sense. Big corporations don’t need to be making a huge profit off of nonprofits, charities, and NGOs. Thank you. —Jason _________________________________ Jason Rosenbaum Director of Technology The Action Network he/him/his Email/GChat: jason(a)actionnetwork.org Cell: 914.806.1939
