I agree.  I have long argued that ICANN meetings should be self funding.
There is a reluctance to have any sort of user pays model except that
registrars should pay.

E.g the IETF and ISOC charge registration fees to cover the expenses of
their meetings.

Many of the cctlds attend every ICANN meeting but don't contribute to
its costs etc.
