[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] org gTLD renewal
Hello - 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 1989, SF-Bay.ORG. 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.
