It will be interesting to see how the applicant support program is applied if there's a large number of applicants from developing countries. As for the real term costs compared to the last round......no comment.

According to ICANN org this fee is, in real terms, lower than the $185.000 of 2012. Regards, Osvaldo

Many, especially in the developing world, found the previous fee of $185,000 plus related fees to be too high to pay to participate in the previous new gTLD programme resulting in a restricted programme.
So this new higher fee of $208,000 will cause similar problems and restrictions unless there is a workaround, is there ?

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
