Eric, 

at the very least this service will serve to
illustrate that ICANN needs to lower the financial
requirement to become an ICANN-accredited registrar in
developing countries.

The current one-size-fits-all approach to
accreditation has resulted in a very limited number of
accredited registrars from the developing world.

Registrar Accreditation: Financial Considerations

Before you undertake the registrar accreditation
process, please read and consider the following costs
to you. This is not an exhaustive list of all costs
involved in becoming an accredited registrar, but is
meant only as a helpful listing of some costs
registrar applicants should be prepared to pay in
connection with becoming an ICANN accredited
registrar. 

To ICANN:

--US$2,500 non-refundable application fee, to be
submitted with application. 
--US$4,000 yearly accreditation fee. 
--Variable fee (quarterly) paid once you begin
registering domain names. This fee represents a
portion of ICANN's operating costs. 
--Transaction-based gTLD fee (quarterly). This fee is
a flat fee (currently $0.25) charged for each new
registration, renewal or transfer. This fee can be
billed by the registrar separately on its invoice to
the registrant. 

Please refer to the ICANN Budget for additional
details about invoicing, including options for relief
and fee caps.
 
You must have: 

US$70,000 in working capital requirement. THIS DOES
NOT NEED TO BE PAID TO ICANN; ICANN requires only that
you demonstrate (by submitting an independently
verified financial statement) that you have at least
this much liquid capital (cash or credit) before your
ICANN accreditation becomes effective.
