Allowing PIR to set any price it wants on .org domains will unlevel the playing field for non-profits. It will cause the many tiny non-profits that make a big difference with small budget have a harder time reaching those in need. It will push small non-profits out of their existing .orgs and onto new domains giving up their branding and causing significant confusion for those they serve. The internet was built to give a voice to those without a voice. Setting a higher barrier to entry to to remain with a domain name will do great harm to the internet, non-profits and the common good.
