Subject: [community-finance] Additional information on USG Transition costs published

Dear all,

Please find below the link to the existing USG Transition expenses page on ICANN.org, that we have updated with additional detailed information on the Professional Services expenses incurred on project until 30 September 2015. Notably, we provide a breakdown of the expenses by type of activity (engagement, lobbying, language services,…), also indicating the names of the vendors.

https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/iana-stewardship-project-costs-2015-10-16-en

During the Dublin meeting, we presented updates on the USG Transition costs and questions were asked to request further detail on the professional services expenses. This additional information published addresses these requests and increases further as a result our transparency on this project.

In addition, further information and disclosure of lobbying activities at ICANN has been provided, to address more fully questions raised during the public forums in Buenos Aires and Dublin. See the link to the announcement below:

Glen, Lars,
Please be sure to forward this email to Stephanie Perrin, who had asked a question on the professional services expenses during the GNSO session on Sunday 19 October (copy me please).

Thank you to those community members who, through their questions and requests, take part in improving every day ICANN’s transparency, and accountability as a result.
Feel free to forward this email broadly.
Best,

Xavier
