The simple reality is that many organizations like ours are operated for no profit and are valuable resources to internet users that have access to our sites.  However, because our costs of operation have been set for a long time and we do not have the capacity to turn our services into revenue generating services, organizations like ours are put under undue strain as any price increase takes place.  Respectively, we ask ICANN to forget any thoughts of lifting the price lock on .org addresses because it would be devistating on services like ours; potentially causing such services to get priced out of existance.  Respectively, there is no good reason for raising such prices other than money grubing.

Sincerely, E. W. Madsen, Trustee.
