[John Demme]

I strongly disapprove of Section a, paragraph 4: Pricing for Domain Name
Registrations and Registry Services (Section 2.10 of the .org renewal
agreement).

This is an exclusive contract which creates a natural monopoly. As with any
monopoly, PIR needs to be regulated -- in particular, the pricing structure
needs to be controlled. PIR has no incentive to keep prices low since they
have zero competition! Uncapping their wholesale prices would be a big
mistake.
