<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">In the current policy, there is no charge to transfer less than 50,000 domains, but transferring 50,000 or more comes with a flat fee of $50,000. Is this concept of having a minimum/“ledge” of domain names still
applicable?<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></li><li style="color:black;margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.25in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1;vertical-align:baseline">
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Regarding Concept 4, if there is a sharing of the fee between registries, is there a minimum number of domain names a registry must have involved in order to qualify to share the fee? (e.g. if there are 10 registries
involved and one only has 2% of the total domains involved, should they be able to partake in the sharing?)<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">If so, what is that minimum number of domain names?

<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">How would this process be handled? Considering Concept 4(a), would ICANN org need to be involved further to help manage this process, and if so, why?<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></li></ol>
