<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for your feedback Donna. I understand having string conflict will be difficult to postpone but I was thinking only for cities ( government) which can face some pontual difficulty depends on the election calendar of each region. In
general I would follow the idea to stick with same price for this next round. May be will be some surplus with such value but we can use as reserve to face any litigation, as suggested by Rubens or well as to define some alternative for reimbursement. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Donna,<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I believe the data points you mentioned do exist, in the form of the actual expenses incurred by ICANN in the 2012-round. And considering the gains of scale foreseen by aggregating technical evaluation per back-end, with or without RSP
program, the actual cost for further rounds is clearly expected to be lower. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">DA: I agree that there is data available from 2012 that could be helpful to our discussion and to that end, we should ask Trang if she can provide an overview
of the costs associated with the 2012 round, but we would need to define the cost parameters. I agree that an RSP program could reduce the costs associated with the technical evaluation, but current discussions suggest that the technical evaluation could still
occur during the application process.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">But we could adopt something in between specifying a new application fee and the reimbursement idea, like this:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Application fee will be no less than 50% of the 2012-round fee, and designed to be of a cost-recovery target; in the event it generates more surplus than expected, the reimbursement will be available either as credit towards registry
fees for successful applicants or reimbursement for non-approved or drop-out applicants. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">DA: I have no objection to the concept, but 50% seems to be a large reduction in terms of fairness and competition for 2012 applicants, but I accept your note
below that 2012 applicants will have a time-to-market advantage over future entrants. Any number we come up will largely be arbitrary at this point so the challenge is to come up with a reasoned rationale. We should also look for options to address Vanda’s
point about not making the upfront fee too prohibitive, or finding a mechanism that would allow applicants from underserved regions to pay post-evaluation. This would become complicated where there is contention for the string, but if there was no competition
for the string then perhaps this would be a little easier.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">It’s also important to decide whether the application fee would change over time. I must admit that when I was thinking about this, it was only from the perspective
of the next application window and not beyond that. It would be fair to assume that a lot of the setup costs for the next application window will not be repeated for processes beyond that, particularly as it relates to infrastructure or software development.
The outcome of the rounds v first-come-first-serve discussion will be important to this one.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">One issue to calculate the reimbursement is how much does the legal reserves need to be; the 2012-round proved that litigation either thru internal accountability or legal courts will happen, but how much ? If someone from the work track,
or someone from ICANN Board risk committee, could provide an actuary's point of view would be interesting. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">DA: Agree that a % of the application fee should be set aside for legal reserves, on the condition that the reserves are set aside for a designated period of
time.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We should note that 2012-round applicants got a 4 to 6 years time-to-market advantage, and that could be worth much more than the application fee difference. <o:p></o:p></p>
