I am strongly opposed to removing PIR's 10% annual price increase cap on
.org domains.

This could have catastrophic consequences for nonprofits.

Free market mechanisms can't operate when you have a single seller and
extremely high inelasticity of demand, which is the case in the ICANN - PIR
relationship.

Removing the price caps would be a huge mistake for the 10 million
nonprofits who depend upon having this domain. They cannot easily switch,
and there is no such similarly recognized domain name they could go to.
