Richard and all former DNSO GA members or other interested stakeholders/users,

  What's more interesting as a supposed 501 [ C3 ] non-profit corp.
ICANN is supposed to recieve 2/3'rds of it's funding from donations.
Now I don't believe that "Transaction Fees" are a form of donations
or legally qualified as such...
