Hi,

Looking over the report, specifically, page page 9, graph 1
(contributions over time), I see that over the past 2 years, the total
in USD as well as # of ccTLDs has steadily declined from its peak in
2021-2022.  Can someone explain that?  What is the reason for 8 ccTLDs
to stop paying after having been paying?  Perhaps an in-depth analysis
with specifically those 8 ccTLDs is needed to understanding whether
there is some underlying problem?

Regards,
Hank
