This is with reference to the document titled <b>Proposed Renewal of .org Registry Agreement</b>, published at <a href="https://www.icann.org/public-comments/org-renewal-2019-03-18-en" id="LPNoLP357637">https://www.icann.org/public-comments/org-renewal-2019-03-18-en</a>.
As an owner of .org and .info domains, I am quite disturbed by the proposed changes under the section titled <b>Pricing for Domain Name Registrations and Registry Services</b>.</div>

By removing the current price cap on .org and .info domains, ICANN would practically allow PIR to charge anything they wish for such domains. This would be totally detrimental to not-for-profit organizations that run their websites on such domains, totally
from their own pockets.</div>

I urgently request you to let the price cap continue so that not-for-profit organizations can continue to run their websites from .org and .info domains without fear of being charged heavily for owing such domains.</div>
