ICANN published « The guide for the applicant » in which financial conditions are described when applying for a customized domain extension.
The process to create a new extension should be financially self-supporting. Based on the costs for existing extensions ICANN estimates a setup cost of 185.000 USD. This fee will be due at the moment of the application and will be the same regardless of the requested extension.
If this cost doesn’t cover all the setup expenses of the specific extension ICANN will increase the yearly fee for the extension to compensate the financial loss without affecting the cost for the other registries.
In addition to the setup cost and the yearly fee there will be the costs of technical problems, dispute resolution, etc.
More details will be communicated during the conference of ICANN at Cairo from 2 till 7 November.
