No, and yes. It is the figure ICANN used in 2000 and 2004, and it is also
a quarter of the current application fee.

Assuming the Board approves some reduction in fee (and 50% is just such
a presumption), then if the applicants are capable of meeting 50% of that
cost, before external support, then the applicants need to be capble of
self-funding at the 2000-2004 level.

Ultimately, what fee reduction the Board directs, and what external cost
support exists, are controlling.
