Budget report
Dear Colleagues:On June 21, 2000, final results of democratically voting process (interim/) to select Interim ccTLD Secretariat has been approved by AdCom. Since then Interim ccTLD Secretariat has started the work of transferring and updating our website and organizing Yokohama meeting.
During this time we have incurred expenses which we would like to share with you all.
1. US$ 3,400 (collected from donation at the gate)
2. US$ 6,659 (missing, to be completed)
A total of $ 10,059 *********
Executive Director $ 1,000
Deputy Executive Dir. $ 3,000
Technical Support $ 1,000
Office and clerical support $ 1,000
Total $ 6,000 per month
**********************************
From July to September 15,
total monthly expense add up to $15,000 *********
Two-person trip to Paris on Jun 24-30, 2000 $ 3,000 ********* (with accomdation provided by AFNIC)
One notebook $ 2,500
One Printer $ 200
Total equipment $ 2,700 *********
Grand total (A, B, C, D) $ 30,759 *********
Therefore, the Grand total expenses are $ 30,759 (Add A, B, C and D)
THNIC has been advancing for all above expenses and it has been a huge burden for a small registry like THNIC. So far as you all can see on funding status web page (2000.ccTLDfunding-track.html), a number ccTLDs that have already explicitly pledged or transferred money to AFNIC for donation to Secretariat:
.VI US $ 1,000 , Peter de Blanc (already received) .FK US $ 100 , Ian Cox (already received) .KR US $ 5,000 .TH US $ 100 .CL US $ 350 .ID US $ 50 .JP US $ 5,000 .TV US $ 14,986.05 (already received) .CX US $ 5,000 .PH US $ 1,000 A TOTAL OF 32,586 USD (already received $ 16,086)
So what we have spent compare to what we are supposed to collect, we are quite even out. But the Interim ccTLD Secretariat still has three and a half month to go until December. Plus expenses to organize LA meeting in November. We probably need another 30,000 USD to survive and function well. We are tightening the expenses in every aspect.
These are all the facts we would like to share with you all.
Best regards,
Interim ccTLD Secretariat
