I am writing in regard to the org gTLD renewal proposal, specifically with regard to the proposal to remove the fee cap. I am the holder of an org domain registered in 1995, gamenet.ORG. But more importantly, I am the end-user of hundreds, if not thousands, of .org domains provided for the public benefit. I oppose the removal of the fee cap. Since the org domain registry is non-competitive, and the actual service provided is trivial, removing the cap simply allows the registry provider to select an arbitrary profit margin in providing a service to a captive market. The fee cap should only be removed if market competition is in place throughout the entire service stack - that is, it is made possible to register a domain in the org gTLD via an alternate registry - or if ICANN moves the org gTLD registry service to the lowest-cost provider on a regular basis. If my personal use domain is eventually priced outside of my ability to hold it, it's a small personal loss of trivial consequence. If that were to happen to the thousands of other public-benefit .org holders, it would be a major catastrophe. Every action ICANN takes should fulfill its mission statement of being "a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with participants from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable," and this proposal fails to meet that criteria. Sincerely, Mike Kienenberger
