The DOI System is a cost-recovery system. ISO Council resolution 17/2012 "approves that fees can be charged on a cost-recovery basis by the DOI Foundation in the operation of the Registration Authority for ISO 26324". The cost of common DOI infrastructure (managed by the DOI Foundation on behalf of all Registration Agencies) is met by a charge made to each Registration Agency, whilst allowing each Registration Agency to adopt individual commercial models incorporating DOI name registration for their services.
