Hi Bhavin, No no you are right. You are even below the truth. Transaction Based Registration Fee = $8.449 millions Variable registrar Support Fee = $3.8 millions Annual Registrar Accredition Fee = $0.9 millions so we have a total of $13,149 millions and then of course you have the Registrar Application fee from the new registrars. This is from page 20 of the draft budget. Yep registars are the biggest payers and frankly when I listen to Paul there is no chance they want to change those figures for this year. If I summarize Paul's position: "Yes I understand that the Registrars have the biggest burden on their shoulders and that's unfair, it shouldn't be that way but we need that money this year to be able to serve you and to do our job, and don't forget this is not you as registrar who are paying but the registrants." So frankly instead of looking for a new budget which frankly there is little chance to be adopted I urge the RC to really consider to add on our contract sonething to avoid this situation in the future.

Oh wait a minute. I forgot to add the $4000 per Registrar fee in this. That comes to $4000*200 => $800,000
Are we footing $12.2 million out of the total $15.8 million?
There seems to be something wrong with my calculation. I cant put my finger on it

Hi,
I was hearing this figure that registrars are shelling out around 8 million or so. However it is actually around 11.4 million. If 3.8 million is 1/3rds of the registrar portion then the total portion is $11.4 million. Is that the right figure. Are we footing 11.4 million dollars of the budget?
