[Comments-biz-renewal-03apr19] Comments on .biz changes
**I am writing to express my deep concern with allowing the Public Interest Registry (PIR) set prices for domains without the price caps currently in place. Removing price caps on all .org, .info, and .biz top level domains will allow the PIR to set any price it wants, which will almost certainly cause prices to spike, making web domains unaffordable, and costing companies and organizations money that they would use to grow their businesses. At its most basic sense, high domain prices will hurt business, and since 80% of all employees in the US (and a higher percentage in the rest of the world) work for small businesses, raising prices will directly impact the US and world economies. Please leave the price caps in place. 10% annual growth, as governed by the caps, is still 3x the average inflation rate, so it's not like the domain wholesalers are losing money. Thank you for your consideration to this comment. Regards, DS
