without getting into possible solution spaces, would the following wording help 
any?


Objective 2: To identify whether and, if so, how the new gTLD fees can be 
reduced while maintaining a genuine application cost recover basis for the 
round and taking into account fair allocation of costs.

This should leave notions like 'what is a genuine cost recovery basis?' and 
'what does fair allocation entail?' as discussion items without prejudice on 
the approach to be taken.
