[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Unrestricted Price increase is not in the interest of the would wide web

[Robert Gare]

Unrestricted Price increase is not in the interest of the would wide web


My registrar (Namecheap) notified me that the contract for the .org
registrar is being renewed but that a cap on wholesale price increase is
potentially being removed.


I strongly believe that removing a cap on domain name wholesale price is
against the best interest of the health of the web, and will affect the
poorest and least privileged, disproportionately.


Domain names are an ethereal product and their management and distribution
is of minimal cost, taken in bulk; but their impact on individuals and
organizations serving those individuals, particularly in the case of .org
is personal and powerful.


Please do not allow the .org domain names to become another land rush money
grab.
