18(c) What operating rules will you adopt to eliminate or minimize social costs?

Prototypical answer:

ʺi. How will multiple applications for a particular domain name be resolved, for example, by auction or on a first-come⁄first-serve basis?ʺ

Not applicable. It will not be possible for there to be multiple applications for a particular domain name because only Target Domain may register domain names.

ʺii. Explain any cost benefits for registrants you intend to implement (e.g., advantageous pricing, introductory discounts, bulk registration discounts).ʺ

Not applicable. Target Domain will not charge itself for registrations, hence, there cannot be any such cost benefits.

ʺiii. Note that the Registry Agreement requires that registrars be offered the option to obtain initial domain name registrations for periods of one to ten years at the discretion of the registrar, but no greater than ten years. Additionally, the Registry Agreement requires advance written notice of price increases. Do you intend to make contractual commitments to registrants regarding the magnitude of price escalation? If so, please describe your plans.ʺ

Not applicable. Target Domain will be the only registrant and need not make contractual commitments to itself.
