[Comments-org-renewal-18mar19] Proposed Renewal of .org Registry Agreement

[Stack Overlap]

I am a .org registrant, as are many of my customers. I am opposed to 
treating one of the oldest TLDs with the rules of newer TLDs. I have 
always viewed .org, along with .biz and .info, as one of the 
foundational TLDs, which requires a level of stability if organizations 
are meant to take it seriously.

I will no longer be able to advise clients on .org usage if it starts 
using pricing models that the newer registries use. There are already 
many registries with low registration fees but 2-3x higher renewal 
rates. And then there are "premium" names that cost hundreds per year 
forever. My clients typically stay away from them. Please reconsider 
introducing these pricing models to .ORG. It will cause my clients a lot 
of frustration.

Sincerely,

Jim Patterson
