[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Do not remove the price cap provisions
by Brian Chen April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Please do not remove the price cap provisions for the .org Top Level Domain. Many uses of the .org Domain are small not-for-profits that cannot afford annual price increases.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] I oppose the lifting of the price caps on domains....
by David Ainsburg April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

.org domains are overwhelmingly used by non-profit and charitable groups. Lifting the price cap on those domains leaves them defenseless against predatory pricing in the future. No one can predict the future, so I want ICANN to at least ensure that public interest domains have full protection against exploitation for as long as possible.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] .org

Thank you for servicing and working in the .org world where charities and nonprofits can obtain URLs that match their names, needs, and causes. Please bear in mind when considering a rate increase on .org URLs that charities operate on very thin budgets, tight margins, and serve communities for the better with what they have to give. Raise the prices of .org website domains can be met with more profit, but at the expense of less charity, less community, and less giving back from those charties as costs to operate rise. Please consider being part of a solution to help charities benefit the world we live in by keeping prices stable. Thank you :)

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Submitting comments opposed to the proposed .org registry agreement
by Ellen Collins Davis April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Thank you for the opportunity to submit a comment. I am a domain name registrant. Legacy gTLDs are fundamentally different from for-profit new gTLDs and should be treated that way. Legacy TLDs are what the internet was built on. They are essentially a public trust. They are very different than new gTLDs which were created, bought and paid for by private parties. Registrants of these legacy extensions should be entitled to price predictability & stability. Advancements in technology should be driving the cost of operating a registry down, yet prices keep going up? Removing price caps is unfair to the millions of domain registrants. They will have no price protections. Every registrant will be at the complete mercy and whims of the registry. This could result in a transfer of funds from millions of non-profits to one non-profit, with no benefits to the domain registrants. ICANN is supposed to represent a "bottom up, consensus-driven multistakeholder model". ICANN should not unilaterally impose URS in legacy TLDs when that issue is precisely what is being examined by the volunteer ICANN Working Group who has been mandated to review this issue. ICANN should be looking out for the .org registrants, in particular the non-profits. There is no "public benefit" justification to these changes. It is just a handout to business at the expense of registrants’ rights and protections. Where are the protections for the millions of domain registrants that this could effect in a negative way? These changes would give way too much power to the registry. This is not acceptable for a "public benefit" organization that exists to represent many stakeholders.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] keeping greed in check
by Charles April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

I see the continuing raise of domain pricing extremely unfair in two respects: 1. Nearly all domain registrations occur without human intervention. There is no further labor charge to purchase a domain name. 2. As domain sales (quantities sold) continue to increase with no end in sight and because of #1 above, the profits will only continue to grow. Much like the "mass production" in the past helped to reduce pricing of manufactured goods, the same should be happening in the domain world. Please keep the greed in check. Thank you!

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Comments on .org domain name charge
by Emmanuel S. Blama April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Hello! The proposed change in prices will affect a lot us negatively. Most of us use these domains for non profits with nothing much being generated. The purchase of the current domain is even a burden least to think on an increase in the price. Please do not add any other charge to the .org domains. Cheers, Emmanuel S.
