[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Proposed Renewal of .org Registry Agreement
I am the owner of a .org domain and have been since 2005. I am strictly non-profit and all operating costs are paid for personally. Without a cap-- without unlimited increases in domain costs-- I would not be able to continue. Wasn't the promise of the Internet that everyone could have a presence, and be able to contribute, with minimum barrier of entry? Where is the justification for unlimited price increases? The cost of managing domains has certainly not risen. This seems to be pure greed and rent-seeking. Leave in place the current 10% cap! Unlimited increases will surely drive out the smaller contributors and will lead to more consolidation by the biggest. The larger commercial entities and organizations with deep pockets can already buy their gTLD if they want, but the small players will not have a choice. For the public good, keep the current cap. Thank you, Ian Macky
