Re: [gnso-idng] IDNG WG Motion Draft2

["Tim Ruiz" <tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Regardless of what else is said or done, I would like to point out that
the FY10 estimated costs for supporting various aspects of ccTLDs,
ccNSO, and ccTLD IDNs is $9MM. However, only $1.6MM is being projected
for FY10 fees (voluntary) collected from ccTLDs. And note that in FY09
while $2.3MM in ccTLD fees was projected, only $500,000 is expected to
materialize.
 
 See pages 8 & 9 of the Expense Analysis:

 See page 40 of the FY10 Opperating Plan and Budget:
 
http://www.icann.org/en/financials/proposed-opplan-budget-v1-fy10-17may09-en.pdf
 
Would it be out of line if the GNSO were make a statement that ICANN
should have a firm *commitment* from ccTLD operators as to how they
intend to cover ICANN's costs *before* any rollout of ccTLD IDNs of any
kind? This would just be a firmer re-statement of our position.
