[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Proposed Renewal of .org Registry Agreement
by Gary Dunn April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Rather than a 10% increase to renew your domain next year, PIR could suddenly start charging registrars like 100 times as much. In turn, registrars would have no choice but to pass these charges on to customers. Without any limitation on price increases, PIR would have unfettered ability to extort current domain holders without reprecussion.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Request to maintain pricing agreement for .org
by Rich Rindfuss April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

I’m writing to request continuation of the current pricing agreement related to .org domains. My company works with non-profits, and the current agreement promotes their activities by allowing for a low cost of entry into new areas of service that need or are benefited by obtaining a new domain name. Sincerely, Rich Rindfuss Calm Seas Software

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Don't do it!

Allowing a monopoly freedom to set prices is a guarantee that prices will increase dramatically. The only way to prevent this is to put constraints on the monopoly. Please maintain the annual price increase ceiling. Steve 989-415-1563

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

April 25, 2019

From a technology professional that works in the non-profit space, I can tell you that donations and resources across the board are down, and these organizations do not have extra money to spend on more domain fees. I would ask that the .org top level domain be spared this proposed price increase. Thanks! Eric Phillips 405-834-0788

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Possible price increase of org domains
by Antonio J. de Oliveira April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Greetings Personally I think org domains are public utility and that prices should increase only to holders not showing on their sites anything useful for the community. There are probably thousands of domains for sale, those should be either brought down or heavily charged. Best regards -- Antonio J. de Oliveira https://ajoliveira.org

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] .org agreement changes
by Adrian Smith April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

As a registrant of multiple .org domains at 4 organizations, I am not supportive of the price cap removals. Top level domain registrars are monopolies. Protections must be in place to restrict the abuse of the monopoly they are licensed by ICANN to hold. Please do not approve the removal of price caps. Registrants should be able to retain the price paid when they first registered the domain with no price increase. Adrian Smith

A increase would not be beneficial to many of us small businesses as we have limited and tight budgets.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Comments on the .org agreement
by Tim Flight April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Dear ICANN, I represent many not-for-profit or non-profit organizations. As such, many of them have .org domain names. I’m opposed to any changes that would allow registries to charge any amount they wish for domain renewals without sane caps. I’ve seen the negative consequences of such pricing first hand. Many domains I’ve purchased with newer TLDs are often very inexpensive at first, but the renewal prices often spike to crazy amounts. This would put an undue hardship on many smaller, non-profit organizations. Sincerely, Tim Flight
