I feel, increasing prices while making such agreements with companies like verisign  is not a step in the right direction. We already have a lot of issues regarding domain purchases, domain registrars are already cheating customers by reserving commonly used words in almost all TLDs, to resale at a higher price. As an organisation, you should focus on how to stop these things, but this step further encourages companies to be profit driven than service driven. 

Finances are an important part for any non-profit or profit making organizations, i understand being an owner of one, but these steps are not an ethical way to move forward.

Let the Domain registrations be managed by people who truly love and work for betterment of internet and not just to make profits.
