[Gnso-epdp-idn-team] Notes and action items - IDNs EPDP Meeting #73 - 23 March 2023

[Michael Bauland]

Dear Emily,

one important comment to your notes.

You copied my suggestion regarding the fee handling of variants in 
subsequent rounds, but you forgot to copy the initial 
prerequisite/assumption, which I think is especially important because 
it said something like:

"Let's assume the base application fee is 200,000 USD (not our decision)."

If someone just reads the notes as the are now, one could assume we 
actually do suggest the price to be exactly 200,000 USD, which was not 
at all the intention. I just wanted to put any example number to avoid 
having too many variables (X, Y, Z) in the suggestion, which makes it 
harder to read.

The logically better way to write the suggestion is as follows (which 
avoids and actual prices from us, but makes it harder to read):

Let N be the number of variants included for free in an application.
Let X be the base application fee.
Let Y be the fee for additional N variants.

New Applications:
=================
First application including 0 - N variants: Pay X.
First application including N+1 - 2N variants: Pay X+Y.


Follow-up applications:
=======================
Existing TLD with any number of variants. Apply for 1 - N additional 
variants: Pay Y.

Existing TLD with any number of variants. Apply for N+1 - 2N additional 
variants: Pay 2Y.


Exemption for 2012 round:
=========================
Apply for 1 - N additional variants: Free, no charge.
Apply for N+1 - 2N additional variants: Y.

Cheers,

Michael
