| White Paper Funding. Once established, the new corporation could be funded by domain name registries, regional IP registries, or other entities identified by the Board. 1) Domain registrants pay registration fees at the time of registration or renewal and agree to submit infringing domain names to the authority of a court of law in the jurisdiction in which the registry, registry database, registrar, or the "A" root servers are located. | "Consensus" The following consensus were achieved: Fees for the use of Protocols may not be established. It is proposed that different quotas be established according to the Organization or the Region to which it belongs. These differences in quotas will not award differentiated voting rights. Donations that may influence the fulfilling of the mission statements of the Newco may not be accepted. | IANA Draft Bylaws v5 ARTICLE IV: POWERS Section 2.
