Per registrar variable fee Transaction-based fee Per registrar variable fees are based on a validated concept that ICANN often expends the same quantum of effort in providing services to a registrar regardless of size. However, provided that the registrar is considerably smaller in size and in activity, some registrars will continue to be eligible for “forgiveness” of two-thirds of the standard per-registrar variable fee. To be eligible for forgiveness, the registrar must have: (1) less than 350,000 gTLD names under its management; and (2) no more than 200 attempted adds per successful net add in any TLD. Forgiveness will be granted each quarter to all registrars that qualify. The amount per registrar is calculated each quarter by dividing $950,000 (one-fourth of $3.8 million) equally among all registrars that have at least been accredited for one full quarter or have made at least one transaction, taking into consideration the forgiveness factor. In addition, a discount of 10 percent is granted to all registrars operating under the 2009 and 2013 RAA. Transaction based fees are assessed on each annual increment of an add, renew or a transfer transaction that has survived a related add or auto-renew grace period. This fee will be billed at $0.18 per transaction for registrars operating under the 2009 or 2013 RAA (resulting from a $0.20 base fee, discounted by 10 percent to $0.18). Add-grace period excess deletion fees are assessed on each domain name deleted, in excess of the threshold, during an add-grace period. The threshold is the larger of 50 or 10 percent of total adds, per month, per TLD. The rate per excess deletion is $0.20. Below is a summary of the estimated Registrar fees for FY18 by fee type.
