Resolution 20 says "Whereas, ICANN has a requirement to recover the  
costs of new gTLD applications and on-going services to new gTLDs;"
this concept has been a core principle of our work. From the WG Charter:

Objective 2: To identify how the application fee can be reduced and/or  
subsidized to accommodate applicants that fulfill appropriate criteria  
to qualify for this benefit, in keeping with the principle of full  
cost recovery of the application process costs.

I am not ok with providing limited resources to an applicant that  
wants multiple versions of the same string "whether or not they  
requested support as outlined in sections a) and b) above."
