Colleagues:
Thanks to the efforts of many persons and organizations, we now have several proposed models for determining the level of ccTLD contributions to ICANN. The last table in this mail summarizes many of those proposals. Further detail of all proposals, spreadsheets, tables, etc. will be posted on [ the ccTLD Constituency web site ].
The funding committee proposed that ccTLD's will self select from a series of "bands" of contribution levels. This provides the opportunity for some ccTLD to self-select a higher "band" than the calculated amount by any formula would suggest. One possible reason for self-selection of a higher "band" would be to allow for subsidy of some ccTLD's with less income or no income who might "self-select" a lower band than the models call for.
Most models provide for a minimum level of $ 500.00 US.
We have added some "negative bands", as an opportunity for ccTLDs to indicate that they need a grant of funds to support their registry. This grant could be used to provide technical services, help cover administration costs, or travel. Those ccTLD's requesting the grant would most likely be countries with low GDP who do not charge for name registrations or have some cost-recovery mechanism in place.
1. We need to obtain a consensus view on the following proposition:
Resolved: The ccTLD constituency agrees with the premise that any contributions to ICANN will be based on a self-selected amount chosen from a table of "bands". While the contribution levels will be guided by one or more of the proposed funding level tables, the ultimate choice of the "band" will be made by the ccTLD.
(please indicate (yes or no) >>>
2. We need to know (without any commitment to pay) which band you would "self-select"
(please indicate the Band as a dollar amount)>>>
(Please type your name and ccTLD and reply to the list.)
Here are the bands:
> $500,000 > $250,000 > $100,000 > $50,000 > $25,000 > $10,000 > $5,000 > $2,500 > $1,000 > $500 > $250 > $100
Negative bands, or grant requested. This would be paid to the requesting ccTLD out of the ccTLD general fund of contributions in excess of ICANN budget attributed to ccTLD.
> $25,000 > $10,000 > $5,000 > $2,500 > $1,000
The funding committee requests all ccTLD to participate in this consensus building activity, regardless of their vote. Please circulate this document to anyone you may know that is not on, or monitoring this list.
Thank you

Chair, Funding Committee.
