<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">It is fair to say that gTLD registries and ICANN accredited registries “
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Currently, registries and registrars are paying for IANA services via ICANN fees, and they collect their revenues via end user registrations.”,
<span style="color:#1F497D">but this isn’t necessarily true for ccTLDs with the exception of a few ccTLDs that signed Agreements with ICANN.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">In 2006, ICANN commenced a process of formalizing their relationship with ccTLD managers through an Accountability Framework (AF), which could
take the form of an exchange of letters or a more formal document (both of which are voluntary and not binding).
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">These documents are instructive in that they identify the services ICANN provides to the ccTLD and commitments from the ccTLD in return. Many of
the ccTLDs commit to pay a voluntary contribution to ICANN as the organization that reliably performs the IANA function; others commit to pay a voluntary contribution to ICANN’s cost of operations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I know things have moved on since 2006, when this program was started and the ccNSO has come to an understanding with ICANN with regard to fees
(and I look to Bart Boswinkel or others to provide an update), but the language in many of the AF documents remains that the contribution is made on the basis that ICANN reliably performs the IANA function.

fees, and they collect their revenues via end user registrations. The issue is not whether the functions are “cost-free” but to whom the costs are allocated and how. Whether current arrangements are optimal or not is a matter for discussion and debate. If
Mr. Wilkinson thinks the current arrangement is optimal he must make a logical and fact-based case for it, it is not useful to issue dogmatic pronouncements that tell us what “must” happen.
