well..that is goofiness.
GKG has the .org domain for the company with whom I work.
www.curtainupdistribution.org
Think its $15 at the most.
Doubt it is even that much.

Hi Karen: The registrar I have linux-speakup.org with is
internic.com. They gave me some bull shit about because it was a .org
domain they had to charge $46 a year plus tax etc. My other registrar
told me they wanted $25 for a single year but discounts for multi-year
contracts. It would probably be significantly cheaper if I were to
take it out for ten years or so.
Internic has always been much more expensive than other registrars but
when I started with them over twenty years ago there were very few
domain name providers around at all.

Hi there,
Just wondering, how much were they going to charge you?
All of my domain, save the one here in Canada are with gkg.net
www.gkg.net.
I spend on average $12 a year, with the amazing ability to update with
them on the phone.
Even my Canadian domain with bare medal
www.baremedal.ca I hope lol, is little more than $14.
why is yours so expensive?
just wondering,
