[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Don't harm non-profits
by Jim Schwartz April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

As a website designer for non-profit organizations, I oppose the lifting of caps on the pricing of .org domain names. The organizations I work for are already providing a public service. Please don’t make their job harder.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Bad Idea for Getting More Organizations Online - Especially in Africa
by Amos Wachanga April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Coming from a country in Africa, removal of the price cap will definitely getting organizations online which is one of our goals. The cost will obviously be moved to the clients which will be a deterrent to getting everyone online. I definitely do not support it! Amos Wachanga @wachanga Sibasi Ltd Nairobi, Kenya

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Please do not change existing pricing structure
by Vijay April 25, 2019

Hi All, We are already payment premium for other domain tlds. Some even go upto $100 to $200 for very bad name. I am not talking amount money.com (which are $100mil justifiably). Not every domain is worth $100 / $200. Please do not hike the charges so high. Not every one can bear ~$100 to $200 / domain name and this is going to hurt the internet and digital expansion plans of many startups and is detrimental to the society.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] .org comment
by Anne Showers April 25, 2019

Hello, I am a CEO of a small non-profit in Buffalo, NY, Accessible Academics. We serve young adults with disabilities. Our tech budget is very tight. If there is an increase in fees for our .org domain name, that cuts funding towards other areas of our programming. Please reconsider your proposal to significantly increase the cost of .org domain names. That increase would hit non-profits the hardest - and the nonprofit sector does the most work for our communities on the smallest budgets! Thank you for your consideration. Best, Anne Showers

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Please don’t allow Public Interest Registry setup any price they want
by Baldwa April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Hi, ICANN’s current contract with Public Interest Registry (PIR), the group that runs the .org domain name, allows PIR to increase the wholesale price of .org domains by 10% a year. Is ICANN now proposing extending the contract to operate .org but letting PIR set whatever prices it wants? Please do not do that. It will increase .org domain price by large amounts. Thank you. Sanjay

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Please don't raise prices on domain names
by Edward McCain April 25, 2019

Raising these prices will make it harder for organizations and individuals to participate in and be able to message in the digital age. Please don’t raise the price of .org domains! **************************************************** Edward McCain emccainaz(a)mac.com w (573) 882-8049 m (573) 818-5970 www.mccainphoto.com Stock: archive.mccainphoto.com "Life is an affirmative action program" ****************************************************

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Unlimited price increase????
by Brian Laberge April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

This is not in the best interest of the public have agreements that so not limit price increases. In business I would never agree to a contract like that. Why should you(unless you just want to screw the public over...)? Be smart about this a 10% cap on a price increase is more than fair.
