The AAD noted that net costs beyond those used to administer the program would fund the AAD's skin cancer public education program. The Academy reported adopting the sliding fee scale (based on the number of products submitted by a manufacturer) in November 2007. The application fee was also reduced at that time to US$5,000 based on the AAD's review of similar programs and the potential costs of the program.

The AAD board of directors has reviewed the summary of the meeting and will discuss it at its April meeting. The AAD said that it plans to release the information discussed at the special member meeting but did not specify when.
