Question on ICANN Registry-Level Fee (Article 6, Section 6.1)

["Balasubramanian GR" <balasubramanian.g@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

Please clarify the line marked in yellow in Article 6 (FEES), Section 6.1

 

The Registry-Level Transaction Fee will be equal to the number of annual 
increments of an initial or renewal domain name registration (at one or more 
levels, and including renewals associated with transfers

from one ICANN-accredited registrar to another, each a “Transaction”), during 
the applicable calendar quarter multiplied by US$0.25; provided, however that 
the Registry-Level Transaction Fee shall not apply

until and unless more than 50,000 Transactions have occurred  in the TLD during 
any calendar quarter or any four calendar quarter period (the “Transaction 
Threshold”)

 

Kindly let me know what could be the payments based on the example mentioned 
below.

 

Assumed No. of Transactions:

 

Q1 – 52,000

Q2 – 24,000

Q3 – 24,000

Q4 – 24,000

 

Q1 Payment:

 

a.       $6250 + (52000*.25)

or

b.      $6250 + (2000*.25)

 

Q2/Q3/Q4 Payment:

 

a.       $6250 – Because the no. of transactions during that quarter didn’t 
cross the threshold

Or

b.      $6250 + (24000*.25) – As the no. of transactions crossed the threshold 
during any four calendar quarter period

 

Please let me know if you need anything else

 

Thanks,
