<p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The New gTLD Budget is a
critical component of the program and has been recently updated following
public comment and additional analysis. Taking that into account, the Board
approved the budget at its most recent meeting (<a
href="http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-25sep10-en.htm#1">http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-25sep10-en.htm#1</a>).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The document is an analysis
of the New gTLD program costs, including an assessment of the timing required
to complete certain remaining activities necessary for operational readiness.
To ensure costs are appropriately managed, tracked and disclosed, the gTLD
budget has been organized according to three phases: 1) Development; 2)
Deployment; and 3) Application Processing. You can see the updated budget here:

[PDF, 456 KB]<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The proposed budget was
originally posted for public comment on 31 May 2010. Only four comments were
received but other comments, received during the general Guidebook comment
process were also taken into account. Staff's Summary & Analysis of these
comments can be found here: <a
href="http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/summary-comments-new-gtld-program-budget-22oct10-en.pdf">http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/summary-comments-new-gtld-program-budget-22oct10-en.pdf</a>

<h3><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>What changed?<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The main change from the
original proposed budget is the deployment costs which increased from US$2.6
million to US$4 million. Two major additions include funds for non-financial
support of applicants as recommended by the Applicant Support working group and
funding for root zone stability efforts. The snapshot from the Applicant
Support Working Group can be found here: <a
href="http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/#wg-snapshot">http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/#wg-snapshot</a>.
The Final Milestone recommendation from the group should be available soon.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
