RESENDING WITH THE ATTACHMENT

Mathieu, Paul, all,

With the intent to provide factual information to the group for its discussion, please see below:

You will find below a link to ICANN's website where the costs of the USG Transition are displayed. The costs information on this page is updated on a quarterly basis, and the current information is updated as of 30 September. We are working on releasing the quarterly update as of 31 December.
https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/iana-stewardship-project-costs-2015-10-16-en

This page contains the following information:

  *   overview of total costs by category (personnel, travel/meeting, legal, other professional services)
  *   Legal costs detail
  *   Other professional services details

The Other professional services details includes a table which I have also attached here for ease of reference. It lists the vendors included in each category.

Regarding lobbying, all the external lobbying expenses incurred by ICANN appear in the table attached. The only other lobbying expenses which ICANN incurs and discloses as required are the ICANN personnel expenses qualifying as lobbying expense. For more information on this topic, please refer to the 2 link below on ICANN's website:
- quarterly lobbying disclosure: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/lobbying-disclosures-contributions-2015-11-18-en
- this blog published last November: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-11-19-en

I hope this helps providing useful factual information. Please let us know of any questions you may have.

Thank you.
Best,

Xavier

Paul,

I do not know these figures, but would note that Icann may have other lobbying expenses than the ones related to the IANA Transition ?

I guess the question could be directed to Xavier Calvez if need be.

Best

Mathieu

I support your approach but I'm a bit confused.  This report (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/11/05/icann_lobbying_payouts/) and this one (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/11/19/real_icann_lobbying_expenses/) says that ICANN lobbying costs (characterized as education/engagement) exceeded the 0.6M recorded in the slide deck for FY15 by roughly 2 1?2 times.  Is there a better explanation for the categories involved?

Paul
