Since ICANN's financial performance
remains hidden, I've roughed out these
calculations. ICANN Board members are
encouraged to correct any miscalculations:
+++
http://www.icann.org/contributors.html
- $397,000 in Private Donations
- $57,000 in Registrar Application Fees
[TOTAL REVENUE = $454,000]
http://www.icann.org/correspondence/bliley-response-08july99.htm
- The DARPA research contracts paid for the full direct and indirect costs
of the IANA, including staff salaries and wages, office facilities and
rent, computer equipment and network connectivity, ISI's institutional
overhead, and telephone and travel expenses. These costs were assumed by
ICANN as of January 1, 1999, and ICANN has received no USG funding support
since that time.
[$?????? x 6 months = $???????]
- ICANN has contracted with The Darwin Group for the full-time services of
Mr. Roberts and for support of the Office of the ICANN Interim
President/CEO on a month-to-month basis at the rate of $18,000 per month.
[$18,000 x 8 months = $144,000]
- Costs of professional and technical services agreements are projected at
$1.0 million for the year, or approximately $85,000 per month, which is in
line with recent experience. The largest single expense within this
category is for legal services. Technical services, which currently exceed
$20,000 per month, are expected to decline during the year as permanent
staff additions are made.
[$65,000 x 9 months = $585,000 in legal fees]
[$20,000 x 6 months = $120,000 in technical fees]
[Ogilvy Fees -- not referenced]
- Estimated costs of four three-day Board of Directors meetings, plus
bimonthly telephone conference meetings, total $850,000. The Board, which
will expand during the year to its full complement of nineteen Directors
from the current ten, will continue to meet in major regions of the world
in order to enable its constituents to have an opportunity to physically
participate in board public forums and committee meetings. Board public
forums will continue to feature video and voice distribution over the
Internet.
[3 meetings (Boston, Singapore, Berlin) = $600,000]
[TOTAL EXPENSES = $1,449,000]
+++
If ICANN's expenses have been approximately
$1,450,000, and their revenue has been approx.
$450,000, WHERE IS THE OTHER $1,000,000 ??????
Who's been paying these bills?
or
Who's been extending this kind
of credit, and why?
Respectfully,
Jay Fenello
