Re: [gnso-igo-ingo] Fee waiver / reduction?

[Avri Doria <avri@xxxxxxx>]

Hi.  

I would suggest that as was done for the Applicant Support Program a portion of 
the excess funds (aka profits when accumulated by a non profit) accumulated by 
ICANN and the Dispute Resolution providers could be applied to such a purpose.

There has long been a discussion of how the massive excess funds and profits 
accumulated by all in the process of creating and managing new gTLDs should be 
distributed.  Let alone how funds from auctions would be used.  There have been 
periodic discussions of establishing a fund management  entity of some sort to 
manage and distribute such funds.  Given the public service obligations of a 
corporation in the public interest, I would suggest that this is an avenue that 
could be explored.
