by Munawar Hussain April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Hi, Kindly don't raise prices in domain registration this can affect the price of my domains with different registrars.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Please continue the .org domain price setting
by Wayne Kessler April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

.org domains are an established and integral part of nonprofit web site AND email communication. Because of that established BRANDING by organizations without a lot of funds to redevelop BRANDING, it is particularly vulnerable to price gouging. Please retain the existing price increase limitations for .org domains, or you are possibly creating a disaster for the organizations that may need the price limitations the most. And because almost all nonprofits are unaware of what is being considered that will impact their own domains, they are likely not to respond kindly to the news if you allow full scale price gouging. That does not seem like a public relations event that benefits ICANN. Wayne Kessler

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Feedback on the .org agreement
by Jacklyn Walker April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

I respectfully make the following comments. 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! Signed Jacklyn WAlker

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] PIR and .org prices
by Roderick Horsfall April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Sir or Madam, it strikes me as shocking that you are going to allow PIR to set whatever price it wants. A 10% potential yearly increase was already generous. All this is going to do is open up the possibility of unduly high prices and blatant profiteering over a TLD that is essentially targeted at groups such as non-profit organizations, schools, open-source projects, and community groups.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Not cool
by Tibor Udvari April 25, 2019

Please don’t increase the prices like this, I don’t know what justifies this. Having a drastic change like this is unacceptable. Since you can not easily change domain names, this is effectively making us a captive audience.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] I oppose price caps on .org TLD
by Bill Wetzel April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

I am the owner of PogoData.org, a web site that provides property data for New Jersey parcels at no cost and is used by hundreds of visitors a day. If the price cap on .org TLDs is removed the cost of my domain could rise to the point that I will be no longer able to afford it and will have to shut down the site. This will deprive the users of a service on which they have come to depend. Please do not remove the price cap on .org TLD.

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

April 25, 2019

Since I own a domain as a .org, I highly encourage that price increases to not be implemented. My domain is for a small social type club. We are nothing but sailplane pilots who have a passion for the sport. We use our website to help promote our sport of soaring. Thanks you Glen – treasurecoastsoaringclub.org Sent from Mail for Windows 10

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Opposed to .org domain price increase caps being removed
by Kyle Simpson (getify) April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

I own several .org domains and I am opposed to the proposal for the price increase cap (10%) being removed. There is not sufficient competition in the wholesale domain market to prevent run-away pricing increases, so ICANN needs to continue to keep price controls in place to protect us domain owners. --Kyle Simpson

Dear ICANN, 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.
