Operation Plan & Budget FY09 - Estimate for new TLDs Application Fee
ICANN posted a draft "ICANN Operational Plan & Budget FY09".
Highlighted projects such as planning to launch new IDN ccTLD/ gTLD and some sTLD are described along with some estimation e.g. for the three- year model it is assumed that organization will receive about 100, 300 and 500 Applications for new TLDs, in fiscal years 2009, 2010, and 2011 (respectively). Fine, but there is no estimated cost per application request is mentioned.
Similarly there is a big difference on the expenses regarding gTLD and IDN (ccTLD/gTLD) TLDs. Again there is no estimated cost per TLD Application is mentioned, however it is mentioned that "new gTLD program will be addressed in a separate new gTLD budget (described more fully below) at a later date".
As it is a draft document, it is requested to please mention the estimated fee of the new gTLD as well as new IDN ccTLD and IDN gTLD Applications and Fee on Transaction basis. We also understand that estimate varies and will have differences from actual figures but still it is requested to please mention the estimate.
Thanks
