[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] ICANN proposal for allowing unlimited increases in .org domain registrations
by James Fowler April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

We do NOT support this proposal. While some qualified organizations with a .org registration well funded, the majority are small organizations relying on member donations for their support and existence. In many countries, domain registration is restricted to a single organization. Enabling monopoly abuses of power is outside of the ICANN charter and should be avoided in support of an open internet.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Leave rules in place to keep .org fees reasonable.
by Kevin Kleber April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

.org is home of schools, nonprofits, charities, hospitals, and in general (but not exclusively), groups with more noble primary goals than making as much money as possible. Unduly raising the rent on .org domains would hamper the people with acting from the conviction that money isn't the most important thing in the world. I would asume ICANN itself registered a .org in order to place itself on one side of this particular fence. It looks to me like making large sums of money at the expense of others eventually turns in to an exercise in shooting oneself in the foot. Make the choice for yourself.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] .org price setting
by Aadil Ahmed April 25, 2019

April 25, 2019

Hi, I would like to add my concern to the removal of price limits on the .org domain name. This has historically been for non-profit organisations and while I understand that is no longer the primary use it has been the reason why people have bought the name in the first place. Removing the 10% annual fee increase could potentially cause major disruption and uncertainty for both non-commercial and commercial entities on .org domain names which shouldn't be allowed. Kind regards, Aadil

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Proposed Renewal of .org Registry Agreement
by Aishwin Vikhona 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! Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10
