I hope this succeeds so that there's a case with background so that the Puerto Rio government can fight back for their .PR TLD.
There's a lot of drama behind this one too. As I understand it, it was started by the University of PR by a professor. Things started moving and a company, Gauss Research Laboratory, Inc, was established. He moved everything to it and they're the ones operating this now.
It's $1,000 dollars to register a .PR domain and $1,000 a year to renew the domain.
No one barely uses it in PR. If you want to register a domain in PR, you add pr to the domain and register a .com, example `examplepr.com`.
The whole thing has been in courts and being fought over for years.

I'm adding here a link to a blog in spanish from the ex CIO of the island about it and shows how things happened with links to web.archive.org, https://giangonz.com/cio-essays/pagarias-100-por-una-lata-de-salsa-de-tomate/ https://giangonz.com/cio-essays/pagarias-100-por-una-lata-de...
