Thanks Marika,

One clarification that isn’t super obvious in the FAQ-

“The RSP evaluation fee has been established at a maximum of USD $92,000 per RSP applicant.”

“For this evaluation fee, an organization may be evaluated as one or more types of RSP1: 1) Main

(including support for optional additional Registry Services and IDN tables), 2) DNS, 3) DNSSEC,

and 4) Proxy. A successfully evaluated RSP may provide services to more than one gTLD.“

The intention is to say the organization (is this the same as an RSP applicant?) only pays one (max $92k) fee regardless of how many “Types” for which an RSP applicant is trying to be evaluated (main RSP + DNS + Proxy) ?

Thanks for clarifying.

Elaine

Dear IRT,

Please find attached the updated fee FAQ. Following further input from the Board, it was agreed to use the 1,500 applications scenario to set the gTLD evaluation fee. As you are aware, there are still two placeholders that need to be resolved before the final gTLD evaluation fee can be determined, namely the pending IDN EPDP Phase 1 recommendations as well as the SSAC advice on NCAP2. It is the expectation that the Board will address these two topics during its September workshop which would allow us to confirm the final gTLD evaluation fee following that. Note that in addition to confirming the 1,500 applications scenario, the FAQ also includes some further updates to address the different questions that were received during the ICANN80 sessions and/or mailing list.

If there are further questions that need clarification in the FAQ, please feel free to flag those. We expect to come back to the IRT with further details once the ICANN Board has addressed the two placeholder items.

Best regards,

Marika
