Thanks Dave.

 

I think you are right.

 

The newTLD application process has the potential to be a big revenue earner for ICANN. Traditionally they have always been overly conservative with their budget but I think this is a little extreme.

 

If they are $4,000 per application, I’ll take 1000 please!

Thanks Adrian,

I will not be attending Delhi but would like to pass on a couple observations:

-          Pg 10 details $5.9M in additional spending for new gTLDs (advertising, contract dispute resolution & system)

-          Pg 16 assumes 100 new TLD applications in FY2009 (300 in 2010, 500 in 2011)

-          Pg 17 budgets $0 for “gTLD revenues less costs” and $405K in revenue for “new gTLD revenue”. Not sure what these two items mean but these revenue numbers do raise the question…

 

What is the new gTLD application fee and where is that revenue? 

 

First glance says it is $405K (from pg 17)…but that  means the fee is $4,050 to apply for a new gTLD. Probably a little low….assuming budget of only 100 applications. 

 

If it is $50K-$100K…then that is $5M-$10M in additional revenue that I have not seen in the document and is not articulated in the “Budget FY09 – Revenue by Source” chart on Pg 14.

 

Your right….well worth the chat. Have a great meeting in Delhi!

Dave

ICANN Posts Initial Operating Plan and Budget Framework for Fiscal Year 2009


4 February 2008

The Initial Operating Plan and Budget Framework <http://www.icann.org/planning/ops-budget-framework-09.pdf>  [PDF, 904K] kicks off the operational planning process for ICANN, providing the community with a first look at planned work and costs for fiscal year 2009. The planning approach this year accelerates the date when information is available to the community, and extends the review period, so the community has the maximum opportunity to provide input and help mold the fiscal year 2009 budget.

Some new characteristics of this year's approach to planning include:

*	Review of the operating plan activities and anticipated expenses at the same time (in the past, done separately).
*	A three-year budget model for ICANN, to better put fiscal year 2009 into perspective. Again, the three-year budget model points out the criticality of reaching community consensus on many of the questions/assumptions still to be addressed for new gTLDs.
*	A structured presentation of operating plan activities that both allows for summarization, thus making it more accessible and tractable, while still providing adequate detail in areas in which various community members have specific interest.

The Initial Operating Plan and Budget Framework will be reviewed in a public workshop in Delhi, and kicks off a five month long consultation with the community leading up to anticipated adoption of a budget by ICANN's board in June.
