Re: [cctld-discuss] Reminder - Items for ccNSO meetings Agenda - your input sought!Vincent: APTLD did a study in 2007 to determine whether pricing makes a difference. http://www.aptld.org/bangkokOctober2007/15-APTLD-10-22-2007-FINAL.pdf The general conclusion was only when prices start high. There was not enough data to be able to make specific forecast models, but there was a bit of conclusion. Example. If your prices are currently at US$100 per name per year, then a reduction to US$40 per name per year will make a difference. But, if your prices are US$20/name/year, then a reduction to US$10/n/y won't make as big a difference. The key driver, however, was the performance of the local economy generally and its ICT uptake specifically (as measured by local COM/NET registrations as a proxy). There's complementary relationships.

Dear All, Has any ccTLD, or anyone for that matter, done a study on global ccTLD pricing models and the effects of the various pricing models; mainly on growth. We've just revised our pricing model and will keep monitoring the effect. However, it would help if we could have a presentation on this. If I recall well, Nominet has done something some time back. Perhaps this is a project that the ccNSO, or any regional ccTLD association, could consider (co-)sponsoring?

Dear all,
Below is a list of items which are planned for the ccNSO session in Cairo. The members meeting will take place on the 4th and 5th November.
Please, let me know if you would like to contribute to any of the sessions, or if you have any suggestions for other items. Please, note that we are planning to have a "ccTLD Update" session where volunteers are needed.
I need your input by September 17th!!! After that, we can not guarantee that we can take onboard further suggestions.
Kind regards,
Gabi
