Re: [ICANN-EU] ccTLDs to ask for BoD seats?

["JIM FLEMING" <jfleming@anet.com>]

The classification of "ccTLD" is being phased out.
http://www.icann.org/financials/staff-paper-cost-recovery-10nov00.htm

The proposed classes are:

Class 1 - Commercial. (Either the registry, or the registrar, or both, are
operated as for-profit entities.) Registrant categories are as follows.

1a - Worldwide availability, unrestricted as to registrants. E.g., .com,
.nu, .tv, .cc

1b - Worldwide availability, restricted as to registrants. E.g., possible
new TLDs such as .air.

1c - Restricted to country or territorial presence of registrant, E.g., .au,
.ca

Class 2 - Noncommercial. (Both the registry and the registration activities
are operated on a non-profit or not-for-profit, cost recovery basis.)

2a - Worldwide availability, unrestricted as to registrants. E.g., possible
new TLDs such as .health

2b - Worldwide availability, restricted as to registrants. E.g., .int,
.union

2c - Restricted to country or territorial presence of registrant.

Class 3 - Special Purpose. For registries with no cost recovery structure,
or qualifying under other criteria such as demonstrated financial hardship.
Currently is set at $500 per year.
