Dear Sir or Madam, My understanding is that price increases for the .org domains have been capped at 10% in the past. This compares to US inflation of less than 3% over the past five years and no expectation of a significant increase. Prices were also capped. Given that this is a matter of technology in a public service context, the expectation would be that prices go down, not up, given the underlying technology cost base should be going down. Public Interest Registry (PIR) did spend about 6% of revenues on salaries, which are expected to rise about in line with inflation, however, that might not justify even a 10% increase in prices. PIR is a non-profit and also appears to be in good financial health based on past and most recent Form 990 filings available to review on the Internet. Consequently, it does not appear to be necessary to make any modifications to existing, apparently generous, pricing mechanisms. As a domain name registrant, I request that ICANN maintains the current caps on prices and price increases on .org domains. In addition, ICANN should similarly maintain stable conditions on all legacy domains. Sincerely, Tamas Hofer
