[registrars] ICANN Invoice

[Robbie Birkner <rbirkner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Members,

just recently we received our ICANN fourth quarter of the fiscal year 
invoice.
In the cover letter was stated:

"For your information, a registrar that was active the entire year, paid a per registrar variable fee of $ 8,809. Those registrars that applied for and were found eligible for relief paid one-third of the variable fee amount. The number of registrars that have received forgiveness of a portion of the fees has varied from quarter to quarter. The maximum number in any one quarter is 29".


Question for the consitutency:
As mostly all registrars are financing a great deal of ICANN and we are 
basically all sitting in the same boat, we would like to see the 
procedure of "forgiveness" to be a transparent one, providing the paying 
registrars with information on the registrars that were granted 
forgiveness on a quarterly basis.
Any opinions? Would this be something, that could be of interest to the 
constituency?
