To whom It May Concern, "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 .biz but *letting PIR set whatever prices it wants*." Domain names are a public resource and should not be made profit centers. This is bad policy and will affect organizations ability to retain their hard won place on the public Internet. Please stop this policy of allowing PIR to set whatever prices they want to keep this resource affordable.
