Dear All,<br>
<br>
Just in case this information coming from the Board was not
discussed in our group already (excerpted from <a
href="http://www.icann.org/en/correspondence/dengate-thrush-to-dryden-23nov10-en.pdf";>http://www.icann.org/en/correspondence/dengate-thrush-to-dryden-23nov10-en.pdf</a>

<br>
The Board notes that through the IDN ccTLD Fast Track process much
has been done to meet<br>
the global public interest in promoting a fully inclusive and
diverse Internet community and<br>
infrastructure, at very minimal cost to applicants. The new gTLD
process has been developed<br>
on a cost-recovery model, and owing to a level of uncertainty
associated with the launch of<br>
new gTLDs, the fee levels currently in the Applicant Guidebook will
be maintained for all<br>
applicants.<br>
<br>
As stated in correspondence to the GAC of 22 September 2010, '...
the experience gained from<br>
the initial round of applications will inform decisions on fee
levels, and the scope for discounts<br>
and subsidies in subsequent rounds. ICANN has always stated that the
idea of fee categories<br>
and lower fees will be investigated after the first round and
following removal of many of the<br>
contingencies and uncertainties."<br>
<br>
The Board supports the publication of a list of organizations that
request assistance and<br>
organizations that state an interest in assisting with additional
program development, for<br>
example pro-bono consulting advice, in kind support, or financial
assistance so that those<br>
needing assistance and those willing to provide assistance can
identify each other and work<br>
together. The new gTLD Deployment Budget, available at<br>

contains<br>
US$200,000 to help identify ,educate, and promote the organizations
willing to provide such<br>
assistance and an additional US$ 100,000 has been added to the
Application Processing Budget<br>
to increase Customer Support processes for all applicants.<br>
