[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Renewal of .org domain
by Eduardo Sanchez April 24, 2019

April 24, 2019

Please reconsider lifting the limits on rate increases for .org domains. As a holder of an .org domain, I understand that this gTLD is the choice for small organizations and persons.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Do not lift the cap on service fees
by Max Harmony April 24, 2019

April 24, 2019

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I do not consider it appropriate to end the cap on service fee increases for .org domains. While it may be appropriate to allow unlimited price increases in new TLDs, the traditional TLDs, where many registrants are already established, must remain protected from abuse, as those registrants expect to retain those protections. If the provision must be revisited, if anything, I would encourage reducing the permissible annual increase to, at most, 5%. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.2.15 (Darwin) iQQzBAEBCgAdFiEEIjkmhwtQLOwo99lQzNAm/KiWBjgFAly/1bUACgkQzNAm/KiW BjhILB/+N+H3IH0pczpWPObtVTd5J9TuMZW31ZcVsN1mgoDp329L/OWNvm1SGTKj dIZvNcqDyNQCGxfdheML7oWoBni5/P8vNT6pcS4WAHsceAEFwxxhIJQhTu55sfVS 0EKOu4qAfl6Bz9+37BWpSNF0fArHspfboiCMlSt/Djih3ZkDAORNz80zL6JwflBS fdZ3jfzTs7yQDqXxftGxaNBlCnZXsMbn/rPZ2Wyzb3LsZ0TE4coCigw2CMftvJRY DkOHRDoj1RgXSMu/0uNQ0IQYBezaL/ihpN7L/+et5EMJeXh7gNHwbZbxHV+tICIG RdMBEmNhIm5LKaCgzPKkOkNggYkGEaUdGh9Y7ePrp78SxwRT+xWkMtvHlMOK+mkJ d4ioM/JvD3ryRoVQ/UL6KbsUVRa9JDNyYxjiPrdd8CN8a796vzHs5SDwWQ76uiwl GaxJ5SHcn9A2BDbZ5AmWkEFZ3Lv/QX4MvlzSFaHybFfU9hUKXXB2M350omxBkNwg uGbUHjSJ4redUKaCPebJ2YqCHmzPnUd7B6ZscfiThQl/wcujR2R4K69pIk0rAFr9 jSU7StRooOYW/T10CsIs5UhZFA31ogU2+ykKB1B72vE0oNKMdguHfZLC4+Jx9SPA MVNrd12r0m8PIPQkKJ3rPnzH/Z8YTIDkvYwbTZPgM674/FNibK0yfUT/JDSenRy2 upmkoTWDWGID5R5GFvobz5aaRlgdL9k1j7iGBigiMnoIHrvopIw1l6i83Apngkl6 8OEJACLiAM2OvxNsTauUxJhXThmGXi2cTklvIVyM6a1bO9C3SiuVC9G7yvjmO4D6 9Qgev2EbQfNf0RBE8ISHVnSFR8xeOhMbdOcfJpFUE52NZO9ISGkIHvbldb/tEd+M 3tya4wn0Mnq4FhPY/MoDmDMK6Ov4OTb7agpqOkReFt0h6XgKy9WM5wKJDGUP53Mh ks2cjPXdw3dQCNg7CrU3bDxsesxI3jfHOGMDpJ+9rdoTBv7D0BwhF/ULGTpx8fs2 64Zjt9vj+NR3XDrYEEVo0Gv99jXn6mwIJGc63WbngnLx8f4iAVCN+dgmcxnDnAoK ifd0utb7hbLVzhrxGRkQ+YMPDu0Vufe/Qx7wWI6RJblkpRxflJ107b/+scGUsu1X iBQ6vZ8AX+9oJnp8NJwDwGMe3Ylt490SfJsTuDgFDyg9ffkOjgA8QBbzUtUiUdNe QOjT87wo2nCICA3wVQBpMfm2ZQR/cPpvinV0kJGA4sesoxrbNRtFUxP9WNYGFZd2 SRkfywS7AzkDDGImRES8O93tcH5/DJ0ZidqtVHX/ErLf342DhwjFKCW1+Qkl/0hp kfbQxOMNa4V9bh7SB88LpOZ923O9cw== =l09v -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Retain price cap!
by pwbaim April 24, 2019

April 24, 2019

It is unacceptable to remove the price cap for .org domains, opening them to the same price abuse seen in other TLDs. There is no genuine market force pushing domain prices up other than greed. The notion that the market for domains is 'mature' is not supportable given the total cost of migrating domains from provider to provider and the limited number of durable providers. In addition, .org domains are generally held by non-profits and other holders of limited means. If you want to float the price of boutique TLDs, fine. Leave .orgs alone! Paul Baim

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] .org price increases
by Shishir Birmiwal April 24, 2019

April 24, 2019

Hello, Dropping the the price cap provisions in the current .org agreement, which limited the price of registrations and allowable price increases for registrations may result in unrestrained hike in prices. Folks who are already vested with, and own .org domains - (especially non profits, and private individuals) - will be now be in a very precarious position. Furthermore, it appears that there are proposals for similar changes in other domains. This will have a ripple effect where prices across all domain names will increase. The internet stands for freedom and the proposal to drop price caps will restrict people from owning domains and being able to participate at an equal level. I'd request ICANN to kindly reconsider this (and other similar) proposal(s). Cheers! Shishir

short simple sweet, .orgs do not have that kind of money that will happen if you allow unlimted price increase, thus you hurt the good that those domains can do please do not allow this to happen Thank you Jennifer

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Proposed Renewal of .org Registry Agreement

Hi Interweb Brothers and Sisters, Removing the cap for price increase doesn't make sense to me. I don't see the added value with that idea. Let's keep the cap for the price increase.

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Proposed Renewal of .org Registry Agreement
by Joe Knize April 24, 2019

April 24, 2019

You said: In alignment with the base registry agreement, the price cap provisions in the current .org agreement, which limited the price of registrations and allowable price increases for registrations, are removed from the .org renewal agreement. This is unacceptable, and should not be adopted. A cap of 10% increase is reasonable, the only reason to remove it is so that unreasonable increases can be made. Please protect the consumers (registrants) and leave in place our price protections. Sincerely, Joseph F Knize, II

[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Proposed Renewal of .org Registry Agreement
by Dr. Gregg McNair April 24, 2019

Dear Sir/ Madam I am a director of a company which is a .org registrant and a not-for-profit or non-profit organization. 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! Gregg McNair Group Chairman, Centram Holdings, Inc.,
