[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Comment against the cap removal on .org pricing
by Paul Zipfel April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

To the people who think it's a good idea to allow a single organization to control a commodity without price restrictions, Please do not undo the price increase limitations of PIR regarding the price of .org domains. While I'm sure PIR has the best of intentions, giving one entity total authority over a market's pricing without regulation allows for pricing abuse. There is no need to tempt PIR like this. Please do not remove the 10% limitation on price increases. Thanks, Paul Zipfel

It will be a threat to net neutrality with richer organization purchasing more and more domains in advance and startups suffering with such increasing prices of domains!

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] It’s not fair
by Genius Engineer April 25, 2019

Hello ICANN, A very small in fact tiny increase by you will put the future of Entrepreneurs in danger, how? Nowadays anyone can very easily with the least investment put his mark or product/idea on the Internet. Increasing prices will make it difficult for the small entrepreneurs, those who are already under tons of student loans or those from backward countritand economies where dollar is very expensive. Instead please reconsider the existing prices and bring them down. Thanks Engineer Mansoor Habib

If price increases may help me. I can then drop all domains and no one bother to register those dropped domains to waste lot of money. Also I will then promote domains which has price cap or low price like cctld etc. because no one wants ugly shock of price increase in future by using those .org .info domains. Thanks.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Elimination of price increase cap
by T Carter April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

I find the section for pricing of dot org domain names of the new agreement deeply disturbing. Without a cap limiter i am certain greed will reign and the prices will increase substantially to a point that only the few select rich will be able to afford them forcing millions of people to forfeit their property including myself. There is no justification on why this would even be necessary as the ongoing costs for maintaining a simple domain name tied to a numerical address is negligible. As i said, This can only be explained by corrupt power and greed by those wanting to control the internet for their own tyrannical reasons.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Work for the people by the people
by Jeffrey L. Pellegrino April 25, 2019

As the editor-in-chief of an all volunteer educational online journal, our service to the world depends on leveraging commonsense non-profit and public resources. The proposed unrestrained price increases on us, one of the millions of .org registrants who are not-for-profits or non-profits would be unfair. Common sense seems to be out of order if another "non-profit", the Internet Society, can willfully and without restraint take from others 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! Sincerely, Dr. Pellegrino Jeffrey L.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Comment on Proposed Renewal of .org Registry Agreement
by Louise Elliott April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Dear Sir or Madam I would like to register a comment on the proposed renewal of .org registry agreement – I completely disagree with your proposal to remove the cap on charges. This change could potentially lock out numerous organisations, individuals and businesses from a having a web presence due to the unaffordability of domain registration. It is vital that the web remains as accessible and open as possible. This change risks limiting the voices heard via the web to those who can afford it.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Don’t Remove Increase Restrictions on .org
by Mipaca April 25, 2019

By removing the 10% per year increase limit on .org domains, it will cause startup and small nonprofits to move away from using .org TLD for their domain names. Mike Burrows mike(a)mipaca.com
