[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Against the changes proposed in the .org agreement renewal

[Tom Thackrey]

Dear ICANN,

I am a domain name registrant. I register over 50 domains, mostly .com and .net and a few .orgs. These price changes could be a huge impact on my web site design and hosting business.

ICANN staff should not unilaterally impose URS in legacy TLDs when that issue is precisely what is being examined by the volunteer ICANN Working Group who has been mandated to review this issue. ICANN policy making is supposed to be a ‘bottom up, multi-stakeholder model’.

I believe that legacy gTLDs are fundamentally different from for-profit new gTLDs. Legacy TLDs are essentially a public trust, unlike new gTLDs which were created, bought and paid for by private interests. Registrants of legacy TLDs are entitled to price stability and predictability, and should not be subject to price increases.
