[SubPro-IRT] Application Fee FAQ

[Marika Konings]

Thanks, Rubens, for sharing the 2012 correspondence and resolution in relation to the TMCH fees. As you will note, this was specific to the 2012 round and the circumstances relevant at that time. As also pointed out during the IRT session, the TMCH fees are included in the base registry agreement, article 6 – fees, which calls out all the fees that are applicable to registries following signing of the registry agreement (see https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/registry-agreements/base-registry-agreement-21-01-2024-en.pdf).

Best regards,

Marika

Dear IRT members,

In preparation for tomorrow's IRT meeting<https://community.icann.org/x/zIBAEw>, ICANN org has prepared the attached FAQ which aims to address the various questions that have been raised both in relation to the RSP fee as well as the gTLD evaluation fee.

Best regards,
Elisa




- In item 3, it’s mentioned that TMCH fees are not included. In 2012, registries got their TMCH fees back after being initially charged, so in effect, there was no additional payment of TMCH fees beyond the application fee. Changing that is not supported by any SubPro recommendation.


Specifically on TMCH fees, after help from another gTLD registry I can provide the following links:

RySG Correspondence: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/diaz-to-atallah-03oct17-en.pdf
(It contains other fee-related matters but only TMCH is in discussion here)


ICANN Board Resolution: https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings/materials/approved-resolutions-regular-meeting-of-the-icann-board-13-05-2018-en#2

And the point here is that this established a line of action from 2012, and there is no SubPro recommendation (or any Board decision for that matter) to change that.
