<p>I most strongly oppose removing the price caps on the Dot Org??
domains <br>
</p>
<p>as described in?? <strong>Pricing for <abbr title="Domain Name">Domain
Name</abbr> Registrations and Registry Services (Section 2.10
of the .org renewal agreement).</strong></p>
<p><strong>I founded and am employed as Executive Director of HOPE
(a genuine 501(c) 3 IRS recognized <br>
</strong></p>
<p><strong>non-profit corporation) using the domain (1hope.org)<br>
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Domain prices in general are so high already it is a
burden for non-profits which <br>
</strong></p>
<p><strong>by definition DO NOT MAKE MONEY !<br>
</strong></p>
<p><strong>In case anyone has forgotten, while administering </strong><strong><strong>domain
names </strong>does take staff and resources,<br>
</strong></p>
<p><strong>domain names DO NOT COST ICANN a penny to own !</strong></p>
<p><strong><br>
</strong></p>
<p><strong>I respectfully request you ENTIRELY REMOVE </strong><strong><strong>Section
2.10 of the .org renewal agreement.</strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><strong><br>
</strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><strong><strong><strong>An improvement </strong></strong>to
replace it I would suggest ICANN SUPPORT </strong></strong><strong><strong>Non-Profits
(NGOs)<br>
</strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><strong>by totally removing the ability to charge for
.ORG domains. To address the idea that <br>
</strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><strong>a non-profit is out of business you can provide
an annual Certificate of Existence to be filled in online.<br>
</strong></strong></p>
<br>
<p><strong><strong>Thank?? you,</strong></strong></p>
