[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Please stop possible increase in .org pricing

[Margy Crosby]

We are a young non-profit organization and barely make ends meet for our
six concert Chamber music series in Seattle.

We have four .org domain names to make sure that our audience and potential
audience finds us.  Any increase over the currently allowed 10% a year
(already a stretch because our audience numbers and donations do not
increase 10% a year) will severely hinder our ability to develop our
audience which is the key to our increased donations.

We all need to make and have enough money to stay in business.  I am not
averse to covering costs of running the service but I do not have excess
money in my budget to cover a financial hit like this could be.  To say
nothing of feeling financially "gouged".  We charge fairly for our tickets
and believe that is the way non-profit organizations should run.

Please be aware of the potential disastrous results if the price for .org
domain names are no longer capped.  So think long and hard about the
purpose of the .org and how important this domain name type is before
making any changes.

Thank you.
