[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Important: Help Us Avoid Domain Price Increases

Thu Apr 25 17:06:25 UTC 2019

WOW!

The ICANN.ORG site has HORRIBLE UX and is unusable on my system! I click
the button and nothing happens.

I wanted to submit a comment such as this:

Please DO NOT remove pricing caps on top level domains. It would be unfair
for PIR to suddenly start charging registrars 100 times as much.

The fact that people like me are unable to submit comments via the ICANN.ORG
site is unfair and could be grounds for a lawsuit for sure.

This is the URL:

> to share with you that can affect the price of your domains.
> *What’s Happening*
> ICANN, the organization that oversees domain names, has proposed *removing
> price caps on all .org, .info, and .biz top level domains*. This change
> could significantly increase the wholesale price that Namecheap pays for
> domains, and would force us to pass along those increases to you.
> *Who Sets the Prices*
> Wholesale registries charge Namecheap a set fee per domain name per year.
> Namecheap then adds a little markup to cover things like support,
> provisioning domain services, transaction fees, etc. ICANN includes a
> provision in its contracts with registries that limits what they can charge.
> *Why ICANN is Doing This*
> ICANN’s current contract with Public Interest Registry (PIR), the group
> that runs the .org domain name, allows PIR to increase the wholesale price
> of .org domains by 10% a year. Now ICANN is proposing extending the
> contract to operate .org but *letting PIR set whatever prices it wants*.
> Rather than a 10% increase to renew your domain next year, PIR could
> suddenly start charging registrars like Namecheap 100 times as much. In
> turn, registrars would have no choice but to pass these charges on to
> customers. Similar contract proposals may also impact .info and .biz prices.
> *Speak Up Against the Change*
> The good news is that domain owners like yourself can take action to stop
