It is important, especially for non-profits using the .org top-level domain, to have access to affordable domain name registration. The Internet is now crucial to providing information and should be treated as such. Imagine interstate highways guarded by toll booths whose operators can increase prices at will. Just as that would restrict the flow of commodities to towns with less resources, market-driven domain registration would restrict small non-profits from having this vital communication tool. An open, equal, and free Internet depends on financial regulation. Just as Net Neutrality is the effort to equalize access, domain price caps equalizes access. Sincerely, Brian Lashbrook
