5) The ICANN insurance policy includes deductibles. How much is this and who
pays it?

> What would actually be useful to know would be:-
>
> 1) what is the maximum payout on any one claim against an individual?
> 2) What is the aggregated amount of claims that can be paid in
> any one policy period?
> 3) Who is to be the judge of whether the person has been acting
> in good faith or not?
> 4) What are the other conditions and limitations to which you refer?


> I assume an individual would actually need to have this
> information available to them before they could judge whether or
> not to volunteer to serve on the Board, Non-Com, ALAC, and so on,
> so perhaps one of you who is already in that position of personal
> liability, would expand on this aspect for the benefit of others
> who may be next in the firing line.

http://www.icann.org/committees/nom-comm/faqs.htm#2.13 "Although there are
various conditions and limits on each type of protection, in the aggregate
these protections provide significant protection to ICANN volunteers acting
in good faith and in the scope of their responsibilities to ICANN."
