To whom it may concern, I write as an academic and Co-Editor of the International Journal of Traditional Arts (www.tradartsjournal.org <http://www.tradartsjournal.org> ). I am writing to request that some exemption (or complete exemption for all '.org' websites) is made for the pricing of charitable and academic and non-profit associations, journals, and organizations. We run a very small, niche academic journal for those people interested in traditional music, crafts, dance and arts. It would simply not be possible to do so if we had any significant costs associated with the domain name ending with .org. I am also the Chair of a UK-based academic subject association-The British Forum for Ethnomusicology-and we are a UK charity recognised in law. Any price increases for us in relation to domain hosting would similarly be deleterious to our mission for the public good. Please consider exempting all '.org' websites, or any organisation or individual whose work online substantively resides in the scholarly, charitable or non-profit sectors. Yours sincerely, Dr Simon McKerrell. (Co-Editor of the International Journal of Traditional Arts) www.tradartsjournal.org <http://www.tradartsjournal.org>
