Re: [Comments-biz-renewal-03apr19] Proposed fee changes by ICANN for the Public Interest Registry
I have a number of Domains ending .biz, however, I am also aware of a number of small businesses,?? support clubs and associations with little or no spare funds use these. In my opinion to convert what has thus far been a reasonable cost service provision into the sort of 'wild west' which would be caused by allowing Public Interest Registry (PIR), to ramp up charges without restraint is a shocking betrayal of those domain owners who rely on such fees remaining affordable. Such an action will be a deplorable disservice to millions of small business owners and institutions, myself included who would be the ones picking up the bill, and?? worse yet, a bill they would suddenly have no idea regarding how fast or high future costs might rise. I am frankly shocked that an organisation such as ICANN would even?? consider such a change in trading terms as being in any way fair to the billions of domain owners. I am in the fortunate position of not relying solely on .biz domains so will simply cancel the registration but probably millions will not be in such a position so to increase costs without say a five year transition to enable them to reduce their reliance on .biz TLD's would be wrong.
