[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Potential increase in domain registration costs
by Jeff Hitchcock-MS-acct April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Please do not take steps that will allow unfettered price increases to registering .org domain names. Many of us are poorly funded nonprofits and NGOs. --Jeff Hitchcock Euroamerican.org CSWAC.org Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Potential Cost Increase

Gentlemen: The City of Trenton uses a number of websites to provide information to residents and businesses as well as visitors (we are a State Capital) concerning business, health, recreation, police and fire services. Severe increases in the cost of websites will greatly limit our use of them resulting in potential harm to the community. Our residents and businesses and visitors depend on timely information. Thanks, Tom McGough

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] UNFAIR

As a .org domain registrant I completely disagree with this proposed change. ICANN should stand up for the public interest and registrants! *JJ Castillo*

Price increases without a cap would devastate many small businesses that already struggle. Please don’t do it. Jeremy Nivison www.MadeNicely.com (435)363-6336 Happy with us?

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Comment on proposed changes to the .org registry agreement
by Chef Of King April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Dear ICANN, I am a domain name registrant. ICANN staff 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 policy making is supposed to be a ‘bottom up, multi-stakeholder model’. I believe that legacy gTLDs are fundamentally different from for-profit new gTLDs. Legacy TLDs are essentially a public trust, unlike new gTLDs which were created, bought and paid for by private interests. Registrants of legacy TLDs are entitled to price stability and predictability, and should not be subject to price increases with no maximums. Unlike new gTLDs, registrants of legacy TLDs registered their names and made their online presence on legacy TLDs on the basis that price caps would continue to exist. Unrestrained price increases on the millions of .org registrants who are not-for-profits or non-profits would be unfair to them. Unchecked price increases have the potential to result in hundreds of millions of dollars being transferred from these organizations to one non-profit, the Internet Society, with .org registrants receiving no benefit in return. ICANN should not allow one non-profit nearly unlimited access to the funds of other non-profits. ICANN appears to be entirely catering to registries by removing price caps. ICANN should stand up for the public interest and registrants!

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Don’t uncap .org

Org specifically is important to individuals and small companies focused on non profit activities who need to focus their limited funding to the actual purpose of their org. Thanks, Nirav Patel

The .org top level domain is used by non-profit organizations. They can be severely impacted by actions like this. Please keep the price caps. -- Doug Herr doug(a)wombatz.com

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] .org renewal
by Mike Bucciarelli April 25, 2019

I strongly support keeping the existing price caps in place for renewal of .org domains. As the owner of the domains for 3 charitable organizations, I find that any increase in price means that we can provide less public service. Price increases would be better placed on commercial domains. Thanks you, Michael Bucciarelli

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] .org price increase
by Aaron Pinto April 25, 2019

I help manage several .org domains. All non-profits with very limited budgets. What might seem like a small increase in pricing, uncapping that increase potential could have a significant cumulative impact on non-profits already trying to scrape by. Please keep a cap in place to reduce the potential for a sudden cost bump on .org domain name holders. Thank you, Aaron
