I am a .org registrant and am already suffering from annual price increases to maintain my domain. I am now told ICANN plans to remove price caps from legacy TLDs, of which the .org domain is one in which I have a stake. ICANN appears to be taking a shift in the direction of an "open market" on TLDs, which is fine for those who put out the funding to develop them, but .com, .org, and so forth, are not like these new TLDs. Further, maintaining reasonable pricing of the new TLDs is dependent upon stability in the historic TLDs. The reason for this disruptive idea is unclear ... the justification offered is weak and frankly makes it sound to me like collusion with people who stand to make a lot of money. I suggest you nip that impression in the bud by acting like a public servant to those who use the internet to further the betterment of mankind, and continue to hold all extant TLDs to modest price adjustments ... preferably less than the unjustified 10% currently in effect. Something more like a COL adjustment would be appropriate and be more in keeping with the behavior of a public servant. Best regards, * Arthur Knight Hammer
