Thanks Jared. This number affects the planning process for applicants. Will there be flexibility in being able to withdraw a CPE claim if the cost is too great?

Dear Anne and IRT members,
Thank you for this question. We are still in the midst of the RFP process—we hope to have this complete very soon. This means that we don’t have yet the final cost/fee for CPE. However, once we do have a vendor/contract in place, we will publish the relevant vendor/fee information and determine how best to make that fee information available to applicants (e.g., whether an update to the AGB or publication on the New gTLD Program webpage, or both, etc.).
I hope this helps.
Thank you
Jared

Hi Jared,
Could you please remind us of where the figures ended up on the cost of Community Priority Evaluation? I think the RFP went out in August?
Is this number going to be published in the AGB?
Thank you,
Anne
