I think it's developing well, but would like to see some recommendation other than reduced fee. Stuck a comment on the wiki suggesting a class of applicant exempt from fees:
About the cost of the expression of interest, perhaps we should suggest that small, non-commercial applicants be exempt from any fee under the EOI (later full application fee still to be decided.) It would be a class of applicants self-identifying via their business plan, explaining target registrant "audience", expected number and registrant fee (some revenue/user number threshold might need to be identified.) And perhaps if the organization later exceeds the revenue/user numbers, they pay some retroactive penalty fee. I am still not sure that the EOI should be used as a means to sort out competing applicants. Or anything trademark related.
Actual implementation would need some working out... Also think worth noting concern that EOI should not delay the process further. Adam At 1:06 PM +0800 1/18/10, James Seng wrote:
