[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Removing price increase caps is unacceptable
by Dmitry Chestnykh April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Hello, I’d like to register my opposition to Section 2.10 of the .org renewal agreement change that removes price increase limitations. This change is unacceptable, since it will lead to arbitrary price increases for new .org domains, which are commonly used by non-profit organizations, open source projects and communities, which are price sensitive. Thank you. -- Dmitry Chestnykh Coding Robots https://www.codingrobots.com

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Why fix something that is not broken?
by Angel Alvizu April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

I am a .org and .biz registrant, for years the current model has worked perfectly, why change it out of thin air? If anything this will cause an increase not only for domain registrants, but also the services they offer to their customers through the web, the very end user will take the expense, which makes for a bad user experience, since most have no idea about all those terms changes. If anything, leave the legacy domains alone at least.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Limiting rate of increase
by André-John Mas April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Domain names are being treated as cash cows, whereby domain owners are being charged excessive rates for something that isn’t much more than an entry in database. If ICANN wants to justify the price increases, then I would encourage a full transparency. Sent from my iPad

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Org renewal price regulation
by Andy Deck April 25, 2019

Domain name registration is a swindle already at current prices. Letting the PIR raise rates would make it impossible for me to renew my domains. Please do not deregulate the renewal rate caps. Andy

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Price increases for .org
by Leah Bishop April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Dear ICANN team, Please consider the tens of thousands of non-profit organizations that utilize .org URL’s to benefit so many individual lives. Allowing PIR to set unlimited price increases can so easily make small organizations insolvent – every penny counts, and an affordable URL is such an important part of growing, supporting, and managing these organizations. This message tells you what you already know. Fight for what is right, and maintain the price increase limitations currently set on PIR. Best and many thanks, Leah Bishop

The new agreement proposed with the unlimited fee increase for .org addresses modification seems unfair to the domain users. Isn’t 10% increase a year more than enough?? Eyal Brandt

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] .org pricing
by David H. Rosmarin, PhD, ABPP April 25, 2019

I am very concerned about the proposed changes to price cap provisions for .org domains. Such domains are commonly used by charitable organizations and removing the price cap will negatively impact the good work that such organizations can do. — David H.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Opposition to removed cap on prices
by giles viney April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

I like many others have been running on my org domain for many years. It's non profit . I'm afraid that we would be priced off the internet. Surely there are plenty of non .org domains available. Please keep it a cost based fee for .org Kind regards Giles

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Strongly oppose the removal of any price caps!
by Aleksandar Velkovski April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

I strongly oppose the removal of any price caps for .org domain registration fees. Price is already a barrier of entry to the web for many people, unless they want to buy a .icu or .biz or .xyz domain, all 3 of which have become synonymous with spam and malware sites. That doesn't leave many of us with much choice. And what of small non-profits? How can they continue to register .org domains with the possibility of high fees being levied? No, fee increase caps are good in this instance. The world wide web is (let me rephrase: originally it was supposed to be) about giving people unfettered access to information. Removing fee caps for .org domains does the exact opposite in my opinion and may be a detriment to small organizations and economically disadvantaged people.

I think it's good for all NOT to let .org prices be increased.
