- Volume refund (see section 2.3.3.2): A volume refund may be applicable if ICANN receives more than 1,000 gTLD applications and the program's implementation costs have been recovered. The amount of the refund will be determined after the application submission period closes. A volume refund will not be factored into the refunds covered under question #8 above.
- Refund as a result of material changes (see section 2.3.3.1.3): Applications that are withdrawn as a result of material changes to the AGB or program processes will be eligible for a refund. The amount of the refund will be determined by the ICANN Board.
- High risk of name collision (see section 2.3.3.1.4): Applications that are withdrawn because a high risk of name collision has been determined and the applicant decides not submit a high risk mitigation plan are eligible to receive a 100% refund. Note, any applications for strings that have been determined to be at a high risk of name collision in a previous round and/or were not approved as a result of such determination will not be eligible for this refund (.HOME, .CORP, .MAIL).
Are there other circumstances in which I may receive a refund?
