Bill,

 

What $21B went to NSI?  The value at closing was not $21B; moreover it was a pure stock transaction so no cash was exchanged.

ICANN seems to be collecting few contributors. Discussion of one of these was floated by Chuck Gomes
in the message:

The other involves the Markle Foundation, but unfortunately my email searcher can't
find anything on it except an old note posted by Joop re travel, but you all should be familiar
with that.  For perspective, consider Verisign's $21 Billion that went to NSI (i.e., to its
stockholders):
