This question is posed in advance of the briefing to Kevin and Doug: The .net registry contract states: Section 7.2 Fees to be Paid to ICANN a) Registry-Level Transaction Fee. Commencing on 1 July 2005, Registry Operator shall pay ICANN a Registry-Level Transaction Fee in an amount equal to US$0.75 for each annual increment of an initial or renewal domain name registration and for transferring a domain name registration from one ICANN-accredited registrar to another during the calendar quarter to which the Registry-Level Transaction Fee pertains. ICANN intends to apply this fee to purposes including: (a) a special restricted fund for developing country Internet communities to enable further participation in the ICANN mission by developing country stakeholders, (b) a special restricted fund to enhance and facilitate the security and stability of the DNS, and (c) general operating funds to support ICANN's mission to ensure the stable and secure operation of the DNS. Could you please advise: (1) The total amount of fees obtained by way of this portion of the .net contract (2) The amount allocated to the special restricted fund for developing country communities (and by what means it will be dispersed) (3) The amount allocated to the security and stability restricted fund (and how such funds are spent) (4) The amount allocated to the general operating fund. Thank you, Danny Younger
