Cost estimates for new TLDs

[Jorge Amodio]

Now reading Cheryl's latest email to ALAC, this work can be tied to the same
Board resolution in Nairobi ...

What do you think ?

Jorge

*Board resolution 20 in Nairobi:*
*** *
*"20. Support for Applicants Requesting New gTLD Applicants*

*Whereas, the launch of the New gTLD Program will bring fundamental change
to the marketplace, including competition and innovation;*

*Whereas, the evolution of relationships and restrictions on relationships
between registries and registrars have been a center of discussion and
analysis;*

*Whereas, the introduction of new gTLDs will bring change and opportunity
for innovation, new services and benefits for users and registrants;*

*Whereas, ICANN aims to ensure that the New gTLD Program is inclusive, along
the lines of the organization's strategic objectives;*

*Whereas, ICANN has a requirement to recover the costs of new gTLD
applications and on-going services to new gTLDs; and*

*Whereas numerous stakeholders have, on various occasions, expressed concern
about the cost of applying for new gTLDs, and suggested that these costs
might hinder applicants requiring assistance, especially those from
developing countries.*

inclusive New gTLD Program.*

*Resolved (2010.03.12.47), the Board requests stakeholders to work through
