As a current and longtime org domain holder, removing the caps on domain name pricing is the equivalent of a bait and switch. Many organizations have held these domain names for a very long time, creating a significant impact due to having to switch. And as these domains are held predominantly by nonprofits, what may seem like an insignificant cost to a large corporation can be devastating. This puts them between a rock and hard place - lose visibility and the resulting donors due to a domain switch. Or incur potential significant additional costs.

And for what? Nothing has changed to increase the costs of the existing contract holders. The existing 10% cap should more than accommodate any growth in expenses on a per annum basis.

Consistency in policies is generally a good thing, but the legacy of the initial domain TLD domain names clearly sets this apart.

Thank you for reading these comments.
