The .org domain was awarded without risk, unlike the newer TLD registrars. A greater than 10% increase will hurt .org domain owners like myself and possibly force us to move all of our email and sites to new TLDs which would greatly damage our relationships with people, as something always falls between the cracks when migrating to a new domain. If anything, this increase should be reigned in or responsibility for the domains should be awarded to a non-profit international group who can be trusted to keep the best interests of the general web in mind rather than looking at profit margins. Thank you for your time and consideration! -- Amy Gauna
