Dear All, I would like to re-iterate my comment I made during our first and last call at ICANN80: I understand that estimations for future costs are estimations and will not 100% accurate. At least there should be data available for the period 2023 Q2 until 2024 Q1. Providing these data to our group might help to evaluate on a factual basis whether the estimate seems appropriate. I would also like to emphasize that we still have a strong inflation going on, at least in Europe. Together with global tensions and uncertainties, this might have an impact on investment decisions by corporations and/or other entities interested in applying for a TLD. I’m not saying that this will have an impact, but it might be so. Therefore I understand that you took a moderate approach in estimating the number of potential TLD applications.
