Existing domain name holders have nowhere else to go. You must be well aware that changing to another domain is not a realistic option in today’s indexed way of using internet. The internet and its infrastructure are akin to a public utility company. If electricity companies were allowed to increase prices at their discretion, what could people do? They would be a hostage of their situation: one cannot stop consuming electricity, but you are also not allowed do construct a parallel power grid with a group of other people to try and compete. Removing price protection when stakeholders do not have realistic alternatives boils down to a predatory practice that would be illegal as well as morally rejectable.</div><div style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; "><br></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; "><br></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; "><b>COMMON SENSE / SENSE OF COMMUNITY</b></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; "><br></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; ">For the .org TLD we are talking in general about not-for-profit organizations.
