I am the volunteer webmaster for quite a few non-profit organizations working in the areas of social justice and environmental sustainability. I volunteer my time because they simply lack the funds to pay me. Given the current trend, particularly in the U. S.. of concentrating wealth in the hands of the few, fundraising is increasingly challenging. Many fine organizations struggle to stay afloat, and their web presence is key to their very survival. Increasing their cost of maintaining that web presence would mean that, at the very least, they would have less money available to do their valuable work, such as raising public awareness about many critical issues, protecting species from extinction, cleaning up pollution, and helping to feed the hungry. Rather than price increases, please consider *reducing* the price of .org domains.
