This is very good news. 

Is it possible to post Kurt Pritz's letter to the Registrars to the Council
list, as well.

I'd also like to add discussion of the resolution passed by Council to our
agenda, under AOB. 

Regards,

Marilyn Cade

Subject: [council] Registrars approve ICANN budget (2005-2006)

Hello All,

In the public forum of the recent ICANN meeting in Vancouver, Paul Twomey
reported that registrars had not yet approved being invoiced for the
variable registrar accreditation fees which make up the majority of the
ICANN budget.

The relevant section of the registrars accreditation agreement is shown
below:
(http://www.icann.org/registrars/ra-agreement-17may01.htm#3 )

"3.9.2 Variable Accreditation Fee. Registrar shall pay the variable
accreditation fees established by the ICANN Board of Directors, in
conformity with ICANN's bylaws and articles of incorporation, provided that
in each case such fees are reasonably allocated among all registrars that
contract with ICANN and that any such fees must be expressly approved by
registrars accounting, in the aggregate, for payment of two-thirds of all
registrar-level fees. Registrar shall pay such fees in a timely manner for
so long as all material terms of this Agreement remain in full force and
effect, and notwithstanding the pendency of any dispute between Registrar
and ICANN."

Kurt Pritz has notified registrars that as of Friday 16 Dec 05, 142
registrars, representing over 70% of registrar-level fees paid, have
expressed their approval (exceeding the two-thirds approval required).

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
