However, at various points in history we've partnered with many different parts of the ICANN ecosystem and this time we happen to be on the same side as an organization we often consider as an adversary. Strange bedfellows indeed but why not? </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I maintain my position that PIR should be given more leeway to set prices. That's not the issue to me. The change of PIR from nonprofit to for-profit has far deeper implications for trust that price increases will be reasonable and serving an interest beyond maximizing revenue. I had trust that a nonprofit PIR would treat the removal of price caps with prudence. I have no such confidence in a profit-maximizing PIR. </div><div dir="auto"><br><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature" dir="auto">___________________<br>Evan Leibovitch, Toronto<br>@evanleibovitch/@el56</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri., Nov. 22, 2019, 1:50 p.m. Jonathan Zuck, <<a href="mailto:JZuck@innovatorsnetwork.org">JZuck@innovatorsnetwork.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal">I confess I’d be interested to see who is behind this site. The talking points are very similar to those with which we were bombarded by ICA during the original discussions around .ORG. Deep down, we ALL know that the only ones truly harmed
by a price increase are volume registrants. It was you who suggested that a price hike might actually be pro-consumer. Let’s not lose site of all that because we’re pissed at ISOC. Let’s try to keep from being manipulated again and do a reasoned analysis of
the situation.<u></u><u></u></p>
