There needs to be some restriction in place to keep them from charging more for one domain vs another domain. Otherwise, you would essentially be allowing Public Interest Registry to blackmail individual sites into paying a lot of money for them to keep their domain name. This is bad because - Blackmail is unethical - Business owners would receive a lot of stress from knowing that if their site becomes popular they could end up having to pay a lot of money - A lot of .org business are charities or blogs who may receive a lot of traffic to their site, which could make them a more likely target for being made to pay more, yet they're not making much money from their website. So if you move forwards with allowing the price to be increased, please make sure you add in a restriction that ensures that whatever the price PIR sets, it is uniform across the board for all domain owners. PS, you might also want to consider requiring them to give notice x number of months before they make any price increases happen. That would allow the public to have a chance to move their website elsewhere if the price increase is too much for them. -- Russell Jamison ------------------------------
