Dear Registrars:<br><br>
This Email is posted in response to Paul Stahura's Email to Jon, as
follows:<br><br>
<font size=2>From: Paul Stahura<br>
Sent: Saturday, May 19, 2007 9:54 AM<br>
To: registrars@gnso.icann.org<br>
Subject: paid up, or not?<br><br>
<br>
I think all candidates running for election for a RC role should state
whether or not their ICANN payment obligations have been paid in full and
are up to date for each registrar for which they work/represent.<br><br>
</font>Prior to 2007, dues were paid on a fiscal year basis, July 1 to
June 30. The decision was made to switch to a calendar year basis.
<br><br>
Since we were awaiting ICANN's decision on "hosting" our bank
account, the present payment system was set up on 3 November 2006 by John
Berryhill (Treasurer for May 2005 to 2006). Here was his Email to
Excom:<br><br>

I'd like to have someone try it out first, to confirm that it
works.</blockquote><br>
As incumbent Treasurer, I was the first to test it and my test payment
was successfully received.<br><br>
Subsequent, Cristin Donahue was brought aboard as a part time assistant
to the Treasurer and the Secretary. <br><br>
Cristin prepared a comprehensive Excel sheet for updating payment
records. After the old list was updated and unpaid registrars were
purged, Cristin created an updated list of Voting Members. All of
the present candidates, as posted by Tim yesterday, are on the Voting
Members Excel list, last updated on 23 March 2007.<br><br>
Respectfully submitted,<br>
Bob Connelly<br>
Treasurer<br>
