Furthermore, the amount provided by ICANN and held in escrow should be adjusted annually based on the then-current budget levels.<br>
<br>
There may need to be some adjustment of this to cover interest earned on the escrow funds, but I suspect there are standard business terms that cover this sort of thing.<br>
