[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] .org Price cap removal.
by David Aschenmeier April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

To whom it may concern, It has come to my attention that ICANN has proposed to remove any cap from the pricing of the .org domain. I register my protest to this move. This domain has been advertised for years as the domain of the non-profits, and that is why many charitable boards have approved selection of .org domains for their operation. Most non-profits, mine included, have very restricted budgets and if a dramatic increase to the maintenance cost of this domain should occur, many organizations would be adversely affected and that could also effect thousands of clients who are accustomed to the .org domain. These cliebts also associate thw.org domain with trustworthiness. Please do not remove the pricing cap for .org domains. Thank you, David Aschenmeier

Hello, I operate a small nonprofit organization and we rely on having a .org TLD. If you allow the price to increase greatly, you would be jeopardizing this entire operation which people depend on.

By allowing the lifting of price caps on the .org TLD all this seems to do is hurt non-profits, education institutions, and small organizations that can not afford the dramatic price increase that will follow. --------------- Nick Peronti Database and Systems Administrator nperonti(a)glenview34.org -- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email message is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Do Not Approve the .Org Agreement Renewal
by Joe Muscara April 25, 2019

I am a domain name 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!

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] The price cap provisions must continue
by Daniel Yokomizo April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

The continual of the price cap provisions, in some form, are necessary to avoid predatory pricing and rent seeking. The abusive prices requested by domain "parkers" are one of the worst parts of the domain ecosystem and would be a shame to see it extended to whoselase registrars. Daniel Yokomizo

Please don't allow .org domain name price increase go unchecked. Many people have already invested in the .org domain, many are non-profits, and it would feel like a bait-and-switch con if prices went out of control. Thank you. -Vaughn Anderson Archetype Media https://Archetype.Media 320-237-5823

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Domain owner
by Gary Coltharp April 25, 2019

I have owned a family name domain for years…. I think it is utter greed to put .org domains in to the same category as .coms. Thus permitting ridiculous renewal prices. The .org was for private organizations, not for profits and charitable organizations. I doubt any of these comments will sway your opinion or change the outcome… greed consumes you all.
