[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] .org domain increase
by Mike Trainum April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Please don’t increase the price for .org renewals. You will force owners of domains like mine to take them down. Many people around the world benefit From this legacy website. They are in indigenous communities who will no longer have access to this information. Is it worth it?

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] The proposed .org agreement is a bad idea
by Jesus M. Castagnetto April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

I am a .org 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! -- Jesus M. Castagnetto [jesus.castagnetto(a)gmail.com]

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Kindly review and reverse decision on price increase of .org domain
by Promise Azuokwu April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

I have registered over 30 domains and i greatly appreciate your services over the years. But the recent news beats me hard and i feel strongly how this would affect business on the down-lines. As a loyal customer, I and fellow down-liners make a plea to review and possibly revers the decision to increase price of .org domains. Thank you as we anticipate your positive decision.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Price Increases
by Kurt Mazag April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Allowing the potential for price increases means prices will increase. As a small non-profit we can sorely afford more money going towards administrative costs. This will definitely have a negative impact on new non-profit's ability to start a web presence.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Don't lift price limits on domains
by Joni Holderman April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

I want to urge you not to lift the price limits on domain names via ICANN. This will pose yet another barrier to entry for entrepreneurs and small business owners, which will have a disproportionate effect on women and minorities. Let's keep domain names affordable, which benefits everyone across the economy by encouraging small business growth! Best Wishes, *Joni* --- Joni Holderman *Thrive!

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Please do not remove price cap on .org domains
by info＠voteriders.org April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

We respectfully request that ICANN not allow PIR to set whatever price it wants. Small 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations like VoteRiders have limited budgets and resources. Our supporters rightfully expect that we spend most of our donations on our programs, not on overhead. Please do not remove price cap on .org domains. Thank you!

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Against the changes proposed in the .org agreement renewal
