Thank you for the opportunity to submit a comment. I am a .org registrant. ICANN does not seem to recognize the difference between a legacy extension created with the support of the US government, that predates the existence of ICANN and that has millions of existing users and the brand new extensions that started off with a new set of rules, in particular no price controls, and no existing registrants. They have completely different characteristics, history, and ownership structure. It is not acceptable for ICANN to ignore these differences and to propose that they be treated the same. Removing price caps is not fair to .org domain owners. Many of them have websites that they have used for years. If price caps are removed, the cost to renew their domain names may become too expensive, and they could be forced to give up websites that are important to them. The Uniform Rapid Suspension policy is too new and untested to apply on domain names that may be 20 years old or more. With the URS, the domain names could be taken down in a matter of days with little notice. ICANN should be doing more to protect owners of .org domain names. Why is ICANN trying to remove price protections for .org domain owners, so many of which are non-profits, so that they can be overcharged for their domain names? -- Natesh Iyer Marketing Manager Skype ID: natesh.iyer PARALLEL SOLUTIONS TECHNOLOGY We bring your ideas to life A Graphic & Web Design Company TRN: 100001469400003 +971 55 587 1669 www.pst.ae [http://www.pst.ae/] Office timings: 9a.m - 6p.m / Sun - Thu
