My responses to the questions posed by Karla for the final draft:

These suggestions are all viable ways of reducing the fee.  The board  
should pick as many as the majority will support.

The board should pick as many as the majority will support.

The suggestions are intended for the new gTLD application program.   
The working group recognizes the program is evolving and some  
adjustments could be made in subsequent rounds-so the support program  
also should be modifiable.
> ·         Does the WG expect any modification to the Draft Applicant

No, the working group offers these suggestions in light of the current  
applicant guidebook.  The program is in addition to the applicant  
guidebook.
> ·         Will the final proposal go through public comments again?
The proposals are placed in front of the board for their  
consideration.  If the board directs staff to create a program based  
on the recommendations, than that program should go through public  
comments.
