<p>I would encourage ICANN to reconsider allowing unlimited fee
increases for .INFO domains.</p>
<p>.INFO domains are regularly used by individuals and organizations
for non-profit purposes to provide (shock! horror!) "information"
to the general public about a person, product, place, thing, or
service.</p>
<p> It costs next to nothing to maintain the registration for a
domain since registrations are simply records in a database.
Unlimited fee increases are nothing more than a cash-grab for an
industry with high margins and low expenses and for an industry
that increasingly provides no added value other than simply
"existing".</p>
<p>I remember the days when registering a domain required filling
out a template and Emailing Network Solutions, then mailing in a
check for $70 ($35 per year, minimum of 2 years) and I welcomed
the industry changes that brought automation that ultimately
lowered the costs for everybody. <br>
</p>
<p>Thank you for your consideration.<br>
