Frankly, it goes against the very nature of even having a .org domain: </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;" class=""><div class="">"Your organisation inspires people to make a difference, but getting the word out isn’t always easy. That’s why the .org domain has been a haven for nonprofits and do-good organisations for decades. It has helped reshape the online world by advancing causes, creating opportunities, and making our communities more open and collaborative.” (<a href="https://pir.org/products/org-domain/" class="">https://pir.org/products/org-domain/</a>)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div></blockquote><div class="">The very organizations that rely upon the .org domain to “make a difference” and help “reshape the online world” would be most impacted by any sudden price increase and least likely to be able to afford it. I hope you will reconsider this move and allow non-profits like AZTESOL to continue to be able to afford hosting a website. Allowing limitless annual price increases would surely negatively affect the ability of countless non-profit and do-good organizations like ours to get the word out and advance our causes. Thank you!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Sincerely,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class="">
