Dear Hank Thank you for your message. Please note that the composition of contributors was not consistent across the years, meaning that different ccTLDs participated in different fiscal periods. Therefore, there is no simple answer to your questions. I hope you'll be able to join the session at ICANN83, where we will explain the findings in more detail and gather feedback from the community. Best regards, Alejandra ******************************************* Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching. Sing like nobody's listening.

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

Dear All

I am pleased to share with you the Chair’s draft of the final report prepared by the second Finance Working Group (WG) of the ccNSO. This draft is being shared in advance of the ICANN83 meeting in Prague.

As noted in the draft report, the WG is still finalizing its deliberations on the specific details of the amended Guideline it intends to recommend. Nevertheless, the WG believes that this ongoing work should not delay the presentation of several key elements: the proposed cost model (Section 2); the findings from the fact-finding efforts, including the consultations held in Seattle and the May 2025 survey (Section 3); and the proposed principles intended for inclusion in the revised Guideline (Section 4).

In addition, I would like to invite you to attend the session titled "ccNSO: ccTLD Financial Contributions" scheduled for Tuesday, 10 June 2025, from 13:30 to 15:00 UTC (15:30-17:00 local time). Further details are available here:

We look forward to receiving your feedback and contributions to the ongoing discussion.

On behalf of the second Finance Working Group,

Alejandra Reynoso Chair of the WG
