[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Statement in opposition to .org domain changes

Hello, I am against having .org domains follow the same rules as the new TLDs, including allowing the registry to set prices arbitrarily. The .org TLD is now part of the fabric of the internet, and it should have a separate set of rules from the new TLDs. The registry for the .org domain is a steward of a public resource, and should not profit off of the value of the .org TLD which was created by the public. If the registry wants to arbitrarily set prices, it should create a new TLD - not take advantage of the history of the .org domain name. -Al Mithani
