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... 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-201... - 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.

I guess the question could be directed to Xavier Calvez if need be. Best Mathieu De : Paul Rosenzweig [mailto:paul.rosenzweig@redbranchconsulting.com] Envoy? : vendredi 5 f?vrier 2016 17:43 ? : 'Mathieu Weill'; 'CCWG-Accountability' Objet : RE: [CCWG-ACCT] Inputs requested - Budget of the IANA Stewardship Transition 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?
