How much is half of these funds exactly? (Useful for individuals to know how
much buys the ICANN Board).

Subject: Contract between ICANN and the Regional Internet Registries

President and CEO
ICANN

Marina del Rey, CA 90292-6601 USA
Subject: Contract between ICANN and the Regional Internet Registries

Dear Stuart:

The Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) have reached the position in the
drafting of a contract between the RIRs and the Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) where there is a draft contract that
represents agreement between the RIRs and ICANN on matters of roles,
responsibilities and procedures relating to Internet address management
and global address management policies. This contract would further
codify the existing working relationship between the RIRs and ICANN
which is set forth in the ASO MOU.

Completion of the contract is contingent on the outcome of a number of
further steps:

   - It is anticipated that the draft contract will be the subject of a
   process of public review within the ICANN and RIR constituencies.  Any
   proposed changes to the contract as a result of these reviews will
   require further consultation between the parties.

   - The RIRs also note that a program of evolution and reform has been
   initiated by ICANN that may result in outcomes for ICANN that could have
   a material effect on the ability of the parties to complete their
   commitments as documented in the draft contract. This situation will be
   monitored by the parties during ICANN's process of defining any
   consequent reform activities.

The RIR's have been holding contract payments to ICANN in escrow pending
completion of the contract. As an sign of good faith at this stage of
the process, the RIRs will release one half of these funds to ICANN.

The Regional Internet Registries are:
       The American Registry for Internet Numbers (www.arin.net) (ARIN)
       Réseaux IP Européens Network Coordination Centre (www.ripe.net)
       (RIPE NCC)
       Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (www.apnic.net) (APNIC)
