<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.

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>
