James, all, Great. How about a public statement (on Whois RT4 level), even if just for transparency purposes? Greetings from Amsterdam, way to BR tomorrow morning. Omar PS: I was wondering about validating databases for accuracy purposes, how many people do pay for domains with credit cards? Probably 70%+. That's an obvious connection. 2011/6/24 James M. Bladel <jbladel@godaddy.com>:

The RT4 allocation is $125k.  Here is the full resolution, which lists amounts for the other studies: http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-24jun11-en.htm#3 J.

Dear all,

FYI Just a short message that the budget request was formally approved by the Board 30 seconds ago;-)

Best regards
