They have completely different characteristics, history, and ownership structure. It is not acceptable for ICANN to ignore these differences and to propose that they be treated the same.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Removing price caps is not fair to .org domain owners. Many of them have websites that they have used for years. If price caps are removed, the cost to renew their domain names may become too expensive, and they could be forced to give up websites that are important to them.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The Uniform Rapid Suspension policy is too new and untested to apply on domain names that may be 20 years old or more. With the URS, the domain names could be taken down in a matter of days with little notice.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>ICANN should be doing more to protect owners of .org domain names. Why is ICANN trying to remove price protections for .org domain owners, so many of which are non-profits, so that they can be overcharged for their domain names?</p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:15.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222'>-----<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:15.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222'>Katie Lobel, LMHC<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:15.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222'>Mental Healing Counselor<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:15.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222'>Healing Journey Counseling<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:15.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222'>175 Elm Street<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:15.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222'>Suite B<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:15.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222'>Somerville, MA 02144<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:15.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222'>C: 617.301.0135<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:15.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222'>www.healingjourneycounseling.org<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:15.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:15.0pt'><span style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#222222'>CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This communication and any attachments may contain confidential and privileged information for the use of the designated recipients named above.
