Dear Colleagues, As requested in our call I am enclosing a document explaining how ICANN org determined the fees for the next round of new gtlds. The budget for the SubPro is US$70 million, the ODA estimated that there were going to be 2000 applications for new gtlds. ICANN org considered this a maximum estimate and to reduce the risk they made all the calculations based on 1000 applications. This is how they reached the sum of US$208.000 for the application fee. Anyway, ICANN org will reimburse the applicants if the number of applications is higher. Hope this informations is useful. Best regards, Osvaldo
