This comment regarding .ORG price caps is submitted solely on my own behalf. In my mind, there are two salient issues: 1. ICANN's determination to have uniform Registry Agreements: this is reasonable from a purely administrative point of view. I will point out that this desire/requirement is an administrative and contract issue and has never, been subject to a community decision. The .NET agreement that just came into in 2017 did NOT follow this pattern of alignment with the new "standard" RA, which demonstrates that there are other viable options that ICANN sanctions. 2. .ORG is targeted (if not limited) to organizations that generally are in the public interest. There are somewhat over 10 million .ORG domains and it is reasonable to presume that many million of them are public-service type organizations that have registered under .ORG based on its perceived focus area but may well have presumed that the price they paid to start would not increase radically. PIR has regularly raised prices in the past. Although they have not raised prices recently, they now have a new CEO and a new Chair of the Board. Given that, past behaviour is NOT necessarily a predictor of future actions. ICANN should take the prudent and public-interest path and preserve caps on allowed price increases. Alan
