I am a contributor to an academic project which is hosted under a .org domain. Legacy TLDs such as .org are fundamentally different in both how they were created and how they are utilized, and should be operated accordingly. They were created with US government support, and represent a standard meaning - in the case of .org, organizations, specifically charitable and other public benefit organizations. They have a distinct meaning to the public at large, beyond just aesthetic. Additionally, many .org registrants in particular operate on limited budgets, and unbound price increases would affect their ability to serve their organization's purposes, and switching TLDs is not only undesirable but would actively handicap their abilities. I find the potential implications of these changes greatly concerning. Sincerely, Jonathan Romano
