[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Fee Caps
by Matthew Baylor April 25, 2019

Please do not remove the fee caps. I think it would have a negative impact in many aspects and ultimately adding a financial burden to small businesses and non-profit organizations. -- Matthew Baylor

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] (no subject)

Please do not allow PIR to increase costs arbitrarily for .org domain names. I have a number of personally used ‘.org’ domain names which I would have to forfeit if pricing went above 10% annually. Likewise, most actual legitimate organizations (frequently used by non-profits) do not have a surplus of cash on hand to dole out for domain name registration fees. This is effectively a natural monopoly (I cannot purchase my .org domain name from anyone else), so I am relying on some governance body to keep prices fair and reasonable. Thank you.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Opposed to the new .org agreement
by LIPSIN April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

To whom it may concern: I am a domain name registrant. I've read about a lot of bad decisions under the UDRP. The URS seems even worse. I heard the URS is very new and is being reviewed now to see if it is working properly. It is too soon to include an untested policy on .org domains where for a few hundred dollars anyone could try to shut down someone else's website. Telling the .org registry that it can charge any price it wants for renewing a domain name is a terrible idea. Why would you allow them to set a crazy high price? They could try to force the domain owners to pay a very high price each year to renew their domain name, and if the domain owner either won't or can't, then the .org registry could take away their domain name, set a high registration price on it, and then try to find someone else who is willing to pay a high price for it. This is very unfair to long time .org domain owners who may see their prices raised sky high for no reason. You let the new domain extensions charge any price they want, but that hasn't gone so well. Lots of people got burned when the new registries offered low rates for the first year, and then after people registered the domain names and some built web sites on them, some of the prices were raised through the roof. .Org has been working just fine for decades where the prices maybe go up a little bit each year. Allowing huge price increases from one year to the next could ruin .org for everybody. I think you should pay a little more attention to what is good for the owners of .org domain names. The registries are doing fine. They don't need your help as they are already making plenty of money. Sent from my iPad

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

April 25, 2019

Thank you for the opportunity to submit a comment. I am a .org registrant. ICANN does not seem to recognize the difference between a legacy extension created with the support of the US government, that predates the existence of ICANN and that has millions of existing users and the brand new extensions that started off with a new set of rules, in particular no price controls, and no existing registrants. They have completely different characteristics, history, and ownership structure. It is not acceptable for ICANN to ignore these differences and to propose that they be treated the same. Removing price caps is not fair to .org domain owners. Many of them have websites that they have used for years. If price caps are removed, the cost to renew their domain names may become too expensive, and they could be forced to give up websites that are important to them. The Uniform Rapid Suspension policy is too new and untested to apply on domain names that may be 20 years old or more. With the URS, the domain names could be taken down in a matter of days with little notice. ICANN should be doing more to protect owners of .org domain names. Why is ICANN trying to remove price protections for .org domain owners, so many of which are non-profits, so that they can be overcharged for their domain names? -- Natesh Iyer Marketing Manager Skype ID: natesh.iyer PARALLEL SOLUTIONS TECHNOLOGY We bring your ideas to life A Graphic & Web Design Company TRN: 100001469400003 +971 55 587 1669 www.pst.ae [http://www.pst.ae/] Office timings: 9a.m - 6p.m / Sun - Thu
