<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">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

<p class="MsoNormal">- 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. <o:p></o:p></p>
