[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] .Org Pricing
by Joshua Clayton April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Please do not remove the price increase cap from .org domains. This is nothing but bad for the consumer and especially bad given the depth of buy in among those who already own .org domains. Please act to preserve pricing by codifying it into your renewal agreement. Removing a cap is a recipe for trouble.

Nonprofits don’t have the budgets to accommodate increasing domain prices. Please take this into consideration when looking at .org pricing. Thank you. - Annah Lauren Kelley

Please let the CAP limits be there. Do not burden us with more costs of owning a domain.

by Mike Spencer April 25, 2019

Dear Sir/Madam, Removing price caps on all .org, .info, and .biz top level domains will significantly increase the wholesale price that hosting companies have to pay, as a client, those costs will be passed on to me and effect the entire internet in very detrimental ways! No! Mike Spencer.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] .org renewal fees
by Mark H. Turpin April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

To whom it may concern, I would like to ensure fees are minimized and that we cap the earnings for the registrations/renewals of domains. We should all strive to ensure affordable access to domain registration and the public, open, format of the internet. I would encourage the organization to do everything in its power to keep fees capped, and keep the internet available to all.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Comment on proposed changes to the .org registry agreement
by Putri Madarina April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Thank you for the opportunity to submit a comment. I am a domain name 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. Best Regards, Putri Madarina

It's abusive to overrule the anual price raising regulation. Customers like me purchased a domain under a set of rules of payment and now you are trying to modify them unilateraly. Not only is it unethical but a lot of people like me will be threatened to not beeing able to keep our non-profit websites running because prices could skyrocket out of the blue. Hope you do the right thing.
