[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] OPPOSE lifting price caps on .org domains

.org domains are part of the foundation of the Web as we know it today. Perhaps more than any other TLD, individuals, small non-profits and community groups rely on the .org domain to publish their materials, find supporters and make a home on the Internet. By allowing unlimited price increases on these domains for no legitimate reason and in no way tied to the costs of maintaining the .org registry, ICANN would be putting all of these organizations' ability to communicate at risk. It is almost unconscionable to consider this provision in the .org registry renewal agreement. Instead, price caps should be fully maintained or even further strengthened in the coming years. -- Charlotte L. Kates charlotte.kates@gmail.com
