The .org tld was created as a public good that operators are entrusted to protect. The new gTLDs were "purchased" by their operators.

I own extremeperl.org. This is a free book that I operate for the public good. I chose the .org domain precisely because it is a public good, not a for profit book. I receive no revenue from it. When I chose the domain 15 years ago, I didn't think I would be subject to arbitrary price increases. How many sites are there like mine? Many.

The whole concept is similar to turning over the HOA of your house to a company that can charge what it likes. That would be stupid. The HOA is run by a board that ensures the lowest cost for the owners by governing the property managers.

Do not remove the price caps.
