*Pricing for Domain Name Registrations and Registry Services (Section 2.10 of the .org renewal agreement):* In alignment with the base registry agreement, the price cap provisions in the current .org agreement, which limited the price of registrations and allowable price increases for registrations, are removed from the .org renewal agreement. Protections for existing registrants will remain in place, in line with the base registry agreement. This change will not only allow the .org renewal agreement to better conform with the base registry agreement, but also takes into consideration the maturation of the domain name market and the goal of treating the Registry Operator equitably with registry operators of new gTLDs and other legacy gTLDs utilizing the base registry agreement
I must admit I find this provision concerning. TLD operators have a monopoly, and for legacy TLD's especially the demand is high since users are most familiar with them. If applied as precedent to all legacy TLD's, I could easily see it becoming more expensive for individuals to run their own websites. It could even become prohibitively expensive, as these namespaces are in demand and it's not clear to me the "fair price" a monopoly can charge for a .com isn't $100.
