<p>I am a .org registrant, as are many of my customers. I am opposed
to treating one of the oldest TLDs with the rules of newer TLDs. I
have always viewed .org, along with .biz and .info, as one of the
foundational TLDs, which requires a level of stability if
organizations are meant to take it seriously.</p>
<p>I will no longer be able to advise clients on .org usage if it
starts using pricing models that the newer registries use. There
are already many registries with low registration fees but 2-3x
higher renewal rates. And then there are "premium" names that cost
hundreds per year forever. My clients typically stay away from
them. Please reconsider introducing these pricing models to .ORG.
It will cause my clients a lot of frustration.<br>

<p>Sincerely,<br>
