.org tld proposal

["Barry Chapman" <barry.chapman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

To the ICANN Board,

I'm respectfully writing to strongly object to the proposed TLD Registry 
Renewal Contracts for .info, .biz, and .org domains.  I think there is a 
serious flaw where a registrar would be able to set uncontrolled rates without 
price caps. This could create a crippling impact on the internet businesses of 
millions of domain and web site owners.

The impact will be especially damaging to .org and .info domain owners and site 
operators who for the most part use .org and .info domains for non-profit, 
charitable organizations, and educational purposes.

As a result of the proposal being implemented there would be bad publicity and 
a myriad of expensive time consuming lawsuits and litigation that ICANN itself 
would have to deal with from the domain owners.

In view of the serious issues arising from this unammended proposal I would 
like to suggest a reconsideration of the contracts and remove this no price 
caps clause completely.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Barry Chapman
