[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Abolish renewal fees starting with Dot Com. Protest today!!
by John Gleeson May 28, 2019

May 28, 2019

Renewal fees on all domains should be abolished. This is disgraceful corporate greed raising it ugly head again this year. Fees are so high, no one can speculate on domains anymore, if you keep just 10 domains, you are looking at thousands in fees over a few years. That’s not fun, it’s killing everybody and because of this, no one will bother with a domain name in the future, in fact, it’s already happening. Corporate greed is killing the entire domain industry, ringing it dry and leaving the future barren. Protest!! protest!! protest!! protest!! protest!!

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] % Price Increase - Negative Impact on Non-Profits
by Clint Johnson May 26, 2019

May 26, 2019

A large portion of Non-Profit organizations use the .org TLD and allowing the wholesale price to be unregulated will potentially have a huge impact on our 501c3 Non-Profit Organization and many others if our rates are hiked. We already operate on a very limited budget and rely on using our budget to better help us and the work we do in bettering our local community. Allowing the potentially unsustainable raising of the price of .org will likely have a similar impact on other non-profits across our local area and the world. Please allow us to continue doing the work we do in bettering our community. We have enough unexpected cost increases and a recurring domain name registration fee increase could be disastrous. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. -- *Clinton JohnsonHMIS AdministratorCommunity Data SolutionsEastern Carolina Homelessness Organization, Inc.* cjohnson(a)echomeless.org 843-957-8787 <+18439578787> [image: Eastern Carolina Homelessness Organization] IMPORTANT: The contents of this email and any attachments are confidential.

.org is traditionally the domain extension of non-profit organizations (although this is not enforced). Allowing others to profit take on non-profits is bad, m-kay? Wayne Clemmer

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Price increase of .org domains
by Saud Pathirana May 24, 2019

May 24, 2019

Hello, I have received an email from Namecheap regarding an increase of price for .org domains. I strongly object for this price increase as my domain is not an income generating site and it is meant as a blog site for general public in career subjects. If there is a substantial increase in prices, then I have to cancel my domain as it is not possible to bear any price increases. Hope you understand.

Small businesses and non-profit organization like the one I'm a member of the board will be adversly impacted if domain names prices are unchecked. I urge that this unlimited price increase should not be allowed to take affect. It'll hurt non-profits who can't pass this cost to the communities we serve.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Proposed Renewal of .org Registry Agreement
by Thomas Fischer May 22, 2019

May 22, 2019

My Name is Thomas Fischer and I am a .org 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. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Thomas Fischer

Eddie Costs of running a business has only increased and diversity of organization are important for a healthy economy. This is one of the things we can do to protect smaller businesses and non-profits maintain a competitive chance against larger organizations as businesses rely on an online presence.

Many dot org domains are run by non profits who provide free services to those in need. I am a volunteer web admin for a medical non-profit. Increasing domain prices will reduce the funding for medical services. Please do not increase domain prices. Regards, Michelle

I'm writing this to say I'm against this new agreement. I think it's a bad idea and it can do serious harm to non-profits. Please reconsider this. - Andrew
