[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Oppose removing the price caps on the Dot Org domains. ICANN should SUPPORT Non-Profits (NGOs) by totally removing the ability to charge for .ORG domains.

[Dashing]

I most strongly oppose removing the price caps on the Dot Org domains

as described in *Pricing for Domain Name Registrations and Registry 
Services (Section 2.10 of the .org renewal agreement).*

*I founded and am employed as Executive Director of HOPE (a genuine 
501(c) 3 IRS recognized
*

*non-profit corporation) using the domain (1hope.org)
*

*Domain prices in general are so high already it is a burden for 
non-profits which
*

*by definition DO NOT MAKE MONEY !
*

*In case anyone has forgotten, while administering ***domain names *does 
take staff and resources,
*

*domain names DO NOT COST ICANN a penny to own !*

*
*

*I respectfully request you ENTIRELY REMOVE ***Section 2.10 of the .org 
renewal agreement.**

**

****An improvement **to replace it I would suggest ICANN SUPPORT 
****Non-Profits (NGOs)
**

**by totally removing the ability to charge for .ORG domains. To address 
the idea that
**

**a non-profit is out of business you can provide an annual Certificate 
of Existence to be filled in online.
