[Comments-info-renewal-18mar19] Comment on proposed changes to the .org registry agreement

[Damon Turney]

Dear ICANN,

Removing price caps is not fair to .info 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.

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.

ICANN should be doing more to protect owners of .info domain names.
Why is ICANN trying to remove price protections for .info domain
owners, so many of which are non-profits, so that they can be
overcharged for their domain names?
