Dear Michael,

Thanks for your careful review of the notes and for catching that oversight. I've updated the notes on the wiki (https://community.icann.org/x/pgP5DQ) to reflect both the generic formula and the example using a 200,000 USD fee, making clear that the example is just to illustrate the proposal. If you have any further concerns, please let me know.

Kind regards,
Emily

    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
