What is the business case to permit significant increases in cost for .org domain registrations? Is the registry loosing money? Is it facing an existential threat? Is it facing significant additional costs to run its service over the next period? Organisations that are providing serivces such as registry services for defactco domain services such as .com, .org, .net etc need to continue to be regulated. Perhaps your contract needs to be more flexible, allowing a price-index style cost increase and if there is a significant technology change where investment in the domain registry beyond what the existing income stream can provide is required (and which would need to be clearly demonstrated to an independant panel) then permit the licence holder to apply for additional income for a specific period of time solely to address that need. It has to be noted that .org is the home of many non-profit organisation, some of which are very small community orgisations, and their online presence could be highly disruptive if their domain registry fees increase to such a level that they have to jump to a new domain name. You would be unlikely to be popular as an organisation having given the licence holder an opportunity to print money at the cost of charities and communities organisations that can ill afford the additional cost. Also note that .org is usually more expensive than .com and .net depending where you buy it from. Tomo.
