Re: [ga] .ie Seeks to Organize Irish Bid to Run .eu

I fail to see what fees the ccTLDs should have to pay other than a 
minimal "setup" fee to enter the TLD into the rootzone file.  What 
services are providing by ICANN to each ccTLD?  I can understand a 
solititation for funding donations by ccTLDs and other registries and I 
can also understand cost recovery fees for services rendered, such as 
contract review for those who wish to actually contract with ICANN.  

$50 - $100 for inclusion in the rootzone file is ample for the time and 
effort expended to do so - letter to DoC for approval; letter to VRSN to 
enter the 3 lines of text.  Unless ICANN will be operating TLD servers for 
the .EU domain, there are no other costs involved that I can see.
