I am STRONGLY OPPOSED to the removal of the price cap provisions from the renewal of the .org agreement. The cap is vital for the internet presence of small organizations, like non-profit charity organizations. This cap removal will clearly prevent smaller organizations and personal projects from having a clear presence on the internet, undermining the public good. Domain names are a unique product and brand, thus not easily substitutable with another name. This creates a huge cost for any organization changing domain names. It also means there's no competition in any real way to keep prices low. Bottom line: there's nothing to keep prices in check, which is precisely what is needed for these small organizations. ICANN has the responsibility to protect registrants from outrageous price increases. The costs of domain registration must ONLY cover the costs of registration, which are smaller and smaller due to increasing automation. Costs beyond this are outrageous, and unconscionable in their impact. I hope the good folks at ICANN will look deep inside themselves to appreciate their importance and duty in ensuring that the internet can be a resource for public good. Sincerely, Stan Rhodes
