[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] .ORG price increase

[jason at pittmanresourcegroup.com]

Good Morning,

    Raising the acquisition and maintenance prices to .ORG domains will cause the public consumers to face increased costs.  Many .orgs are non profit organizations which shouldn’t have to face the increased surcharges when most are operating on a limited budget. 

    It costs money for the internet to run, I’m aware of this, however as an owner of a software company and a developer for many years, I know all too well the costs associated with trying to provide a quality product to a consumer.  We all have to pass these charges on to the consumer to sustain our business models. Everyone knows that, but with increased PAAS, SAAS, DAAS, data charges, and internet charges, compiled on top of your suggested uncapped increases for certain business related domain names. We could potentially make it where consumers can’t afford to search much less make purchase on the free internet. 

    It doesn’t however excuse us from setting reasonable increase limits and restrictions on ourselves to make sure that the underlying consumer doesn’t have to face sticker shock from a subscription increase. 

Please reconsider this adjustment to adding uncapped price increases to not only .org, but too .info, and .biz as well. The optional 10% yearly increase has worked just fine and is more than acceptable. 

Thank you,
