<p class="MsoNormal">I run a one-person organization. It is only me, and I have no organization income to cover expenses. So far, I have been able to fund what minor expenses exist through my regular full-time employment, which is in an unrelated industry.
If domain prices escalate in a dramatic and unexpected way, I will have no choice but to shutter my organization.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I don’t think I would be alone in the maelstrom of flotsam left behind by PIR’s desire to exploit organizations with deeper pockets than mine.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please continue to provide sanity in the domain space, as you have done so well in the past.<o:p></o:p></p>
