To Whom It May Concern, It is extremely important that you continue (or reduce) the price increase cap percentage per year of .org domains to remain at 10% or less. I understand that increases may need to occur from time to time, but this should not be unregulated to whatever price increase the Public Interest Registry (PIR) feels is appropriate. We all know that this could potentially mean huge price increases, which would negatively impact small businesses and those who already may be challenged to have website access/ownership. In other words, the likely consequences are that those who need the most help and have the least access to website access/ownership would be negatively impacted. I feel strongly that the same or similar contract with the PIR needs to remain in place regarding restrictions on the price increases that the PIR can set. Allowing the PIR to set prices to whatever they want is extremely dangerous to consumer. Please, keep consumers and clients in mind as you move forward in decision making with your contract with the PIR. I am a small business owner, and a website is absolutely crucial for my success. We are at a point in time when websites are extremely crucial for all business. Gone are the days that you don't need such an important tool, or can get by without one. Please put the restrictions in place so that the common person can continue to access these important tools, by keeping prices affordable. Unrestricted price increases and changes could mean that sites are too expensive to run for many people, which would mean businesses and people suffering. Again, I urge you to move forward with consumers in mind. Thank you, Isabel Buchanan
