This is so incredibly naive, and he made at least one decision based on flawed understanding of the 10yr price lock in: only _registrar’s_ need to be notified.

This is so incredibly naive, and he made at least one decision based on flawed understanding of the 10yr price lock in: only _registrar’s_ need to be notified. It’s up to them to notify registrants. If they were looking at a significant price increase for .org or to lock in existing customers for 10 years, would they notify their registrants? I would think no! It’s extra sad because they had a commercial vehicle with which to further their mission, which could have been a huge asset to the ecosystem, and instead of finding a way to have it be a source of sustainability, they threw it away for a one time cash infusion. The rest of the post is just this guy trying to make himself feel better for an awful decision.
