I am very disappointed to learn that ICANN is considering opening .org domains to profiteering and price gouging. I represent a non-profit publishing operation, and I've worked with many non profit organizations over the years. These organizations have built their digital presence on the foundation of a domain name—they will have no choice but to pay whatever ransom it takes to continue using their domains. Have the costs involved in reselling domain names increased substantially? Is there any reason to think these costs will increase in a limitless manner in years to come? ICANN's role should be to ensure that organizations have the tools to thrive on the internet—not to enable commercial greed.
