To clarify, I am not saying that .home registry should lower the $25.28 renewal rate for everyone since that might be considered to be a fair price for end users who might just own couple of domains, but if they want domainers to continue investing in tens or even hundreds of .home domains then registries should work something out with the registrars to give a better renewal rate to domainers, that's of course if they want domainers to be able to keep holding on to their domains on a long term basis.
Until an extension becomes popular amongst end users the registries don't have any choice but to depend on domainers so that they can cover their basic expenses of upkeep and running the registry so if they are smart they have to come up with a way to help keep domainers afloat. If the majority of domains are dropped after a year everyone loses. They have to come up with a way that is a win- win situation for all involved.
IMO
