Re: [gnso-contactinfo-pdp-wg] RE: Follow up from public comment
Dear all, To get some more relevant data I have reached out to ICANN's translation services to see what their current rate for translations is. They got back to me with the following: "Translations are not billed per hour, but per word. When a document is submitted for translation the material is assessed, one of the pieces of information we get from this assessment is the word count which allows us to estimate the time needed for delivery and, of course, the cost for the project. However, when the document or text to be translated represents less than 100 words, then the cost applied to the project is the ³minimum cost², and that is anywhere between $25 to $75, depending on the language, for any document of 100 or less words.² I hope this is useful as a ball park figure. Very best.

I assume that the number is drawn in part from the volume of UDRP / URS etc., vs the number of actual domains registered, but will confirm.

Please let us know the source of this statistic, as we would like to follow it up and possibly use it in our report. Sorry for not asking you about this nearer the time of the comment.
