[gnso-contactinfo-pdp-wg] RE: Follow up from public comment

[Lars Hoffmann]

Dear all,

To get some more relevant data I have reached out to ICANN's translation
services to see what their current rate for translations is. They got back
to me with the following:


"Translations are not billed per hour, but per word.  When a document is
submitted for translation the material is assessed, one of the pieces of
information we get from this assessment is the word count which allows us to
estimate the time needed for delivery and, of course, the cost for the
project.
 
However, when the document or text to be translated represents less than 100
words, then the cost applied to the project is the ³minimum cost², and that
is anywhere between $25 to $75, depending on the language, for any document
of 100 or less words.²


I hope this is useful as a ball park figure.
Very best.
Lars

Chris
 
I¹ve reached out to the drafters of our comment to get that information for
you.
 
I assume that the number is drawn in part from the volume of UDRP / URS
etc., vs the number of actual domains registered, but will confirm.
 
Regards
 
Michele

Dear Michele,
 
The Translation and Transliteration of Contact Information PDP WG is just
about to start drafting its final report and it was noticed that the RrSG
public comment
http://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-transliteration-contact-initial-16dec1
4/msg00001.html
on p.3 mentions that only about 0.1% of domains are subject to law
enforcement query or brand protection intervention. Please let us know the
source of this statistic, as we would like to follow it up and possibly use
it in our report. Sorry for not asking you about this nearer the time of the
comment.
 
Regards,
 
Chris.
