[registrars] NeuStar's response regarding potential registrar maintenance fees in connection with .org application

["Michael D. Palage" <michael@palage.com>]

I was asked to post this response on behalf of NeuStar to the registrar list
to respond to an inquiry regarding .org. As discussed during our call
yesterday, this appeared to be a production error as detailed by NeuStar
below.

Here was our response:  Can you please post to the Registrar list?  Thanks

Supplemental Question No. 12:
(posed to NeuStar on 12 September for response by 14 September 2002)

The "Non-transactional services" table in item C17.6.1 of NeuStar's proposal
refers to an "Annual maintenance fee". No mention is made of a maintenance
fee in item C26 ("State the maximum price you propose for each Registry
Service identified in item C25") of your proposal.

Do you propose to charge a maintenance fee? If so, please fully describe the
fee. If not, please explain the reference in item C17.6.1 to a maintenance
fee.

NeuStar Response

No, we are not proposing to charge an annual maintenance fee. Due to a
production error, this line item was inadvertently included in Section
C17.6.1. The reference to a "license fee" (pgIII-38, table entitled
"Registrar Administration") was also a production error. Per ICANN's RFP
instructions, NeuStar's complete pricing proposal, which does not include
either of these fees, can be found in Section C26. NeuStar appreciates this
opportunity to clarify this section.
