In completing Item E9 of the Description of TLD Policies, regarding “Services and Pricing”, is it obligatory to specify how much would be charged, or will a description of the guiding principles behind a tariff structure be sufficient?
There are no absolute requirements on this, but the ICANN staff has indicated that specificity and completeness will be postive factors in the evaluation process. See Factor 9 of the Criteria for Assessing TLD Proposals. Please note that pricing levels will ordinarily be important to formulate your Business Capabilities and Plan and pro-forma financial projections. See Item D13.2.12 of the Registry Operator’s Proposal. If your pricing formula is not pegged to a specific value (such as a system in which overall registry costs are divided equally among all registrants), please describe exactly the formula and in connection with your pro-forma financial projections give projections of the resulting pricing.
