As a domain name registrant, I am very upset that ICANN would even consider removing price protections from legacy gTLDs such as .org in what can only be described as catering to the for-profit registries. Legacy gTLDs are fundamentally different from the new vanity/for-profit gTLDs. They are a public trust, unlike these new gTLDs which were created by private interests. Registrants of legacy TLDs are entitled to price stability and predictability, and should not be subject to large price fluctuations. Take for example the .org TLD, it is one of the most widely used and recognized TLDs. Used most commonly by non-profit organizations who are the most vulnerable to the loss of price caps. If these caps are removed, registration and renewal of these domains may become uneconomical, forcing many important organizations to change their addresses and threatening the prominence of .org. Allowing the sole registry operator (PIR) to set their own prices without adequate oversight would, in essence, allow them to directly line their pockets. As others have done, I'll post some quotes from ICANN's own website: "ICANN is a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with participants from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable." ICANN is supposed to operate for the public benefit. While this change might be beneficial for a small few, it would certainly not be for a majority of these gTLD domain registrants. There are no protections for them. There is no "public benefit" justification to these changes. It is just a handout to business at the expense of registrants’ rights and protections. Do not allow this to happen. Protect legacy gTLDs from corporate greed and keep our protections in place. Respectfully, Zach Schimke
