<div dir="ltr">I thought the point was that ICANN does not provide any funds <b><i><u>to</u></i></b> IETF and RIRs for their internal costs (such as they are) relating to IANA processes (which I assume is primarily policy-related). By contrast, ICANN funds its own costs relating to IANA policy-making, as well as funding the IANA Functions Operator aspect of IANA. Maybe that's a different point....<div><br></div><div>Greg</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 3, 2015 at 12:25 PM, David Conrad <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:david.conrad@icann.org" target="_blank">david.conrad@icann.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:12px;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span class=""><span><blockquote style="BORDER-LEFT:#b5c4df 5 solid;PADDING:0 0 0 5;MARGIN:0 0 0 5"><div><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#330033"><blockquote type="cite"><span>The point I was making in my message was that ICANN funds all of the IANA naming functions but does not fund all of the IETF and RIR costs related to IANA processes.</span></blockquote>

The IETF does not provide any funding to ICANN. Nor do the .INT registrants. The RIRs and some ccTLDs provide a voluntary contribution to ICANN, but that accounts for a tiny fraction of ICANN's revenues.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>-drc</div><div><br></div></div>
