As a member of a small nonprofit with a website geared to keeping members and other interested parties informed about our issues and activities, I urge you not to eliminate price caps on the .org top-level domain. Many nonprofits operate on a shoestring budget while trying to benefit society. Attempting to treat the groups that use this domain the same as businesses with millions of dollars to spend is a false equivalence. We do different work for different purposes. My nonprofit exists to educate and empower people to participate in their democracy. We do this in a number of ways: We go into the community, mostly underserved areas, to register voters. We produce unbiased guides that include all candidates, no matter how minor, and have them answer identical questions about issues, so people can compare what they have to say and become educated voters. We hold candidate forums that, again, include all the candidates because we don't want someone deciding which ones are worthy of being heard by the voters and which ones are not. We do not endorse candidates or parties. We also hold forums on issues of importance to the community with expert panels discussing their areas of expertise as related to the issues. On our website, in addition to announcing what is coming up, during the state legislative session we inform our readers about upcoming legislation and provide ways for them to reach their legislators to let them know how they feel. We do all these things and more without a single paid staffer -- we are all volunteers. Our members pay dues and we do some fundraising. That's how we pay for everything we do. If our yearly domain fee skyrocketed, we might face eliminating our website. I'm not speaking just for our organization, but for many, many others, some of which surely have even less funding than we do. Nonprofits doing good works have to mean more than someone earning more money on domain names. Perhaps you can require proof of nonprofit status for .org rates that are capped at at lower rate. But please do not price small nonprofits out of the ability to have a websites. Thank you for your consideration. Glenda Wolin San Antonio, TX
