Heh. I see you are unfamiliar with ICANN. They’ve said that same paperwork is likely to cost $375k in ICANN staff time for the next round. Because, you know, inflation or something.
Well, yeah, there's only $49 million of the current round's $308M left unspent. Better safe than sorry. They've already spent $18M of the current round's money to pay for costs for the next round, because what could be fairer than to use your application fee to pay for random strangers to compete with you?
