I most strongly oppose removing the price caps on the Dot Org?? domains

as described in?? Pricing for Domain Name Registrations and Registry Services (Section 2.10 of the .org renewal agreement).

I founded and am employed as Executive Director of HOPE (a genuine 501(c) 3 IRS recognized

non-profit corporation) using the domain (1hope.org)

Domain prices in general are so high already it is a burden for non-profits which

by definition DO NOT MAKE MONEY !

In case anyone has forgotten, while administering domain names does take staff and resources,

domain names DO NOT COST ICANN a penny to own !

I respectfully request you ENTIRELY REMOVE Section 2.10 of the .org renewal agreement.

An improvement to replace it I would suggest ICANN SUPPORT Non-Profits (NGOs)

by totally removing the ability to charge for .ORG domains. To address the idea that

a non-profit is out of business you can provide an annual Certificate of Existence to be filled in online.

Thank?? you,
