ICANN Contributions.
The contribution to ICANN is split into two parts totalling 823 kUSD:
650 kUSD IANA Numbering Services 173 kUSD Voluntary Contributions
This is, if I remember correctly, roughly 10% of the RIPE NCC yearly budget.
Technical services done by IANA in the last few years should boil down to "maintain a list of resources handed out to RIRs" and "a few times a year, hand out a block of ASNs or an IPv6 /12".
So, close to one million dollars for that?
[..]
The Voluntary Contribution to ICANN was put in place in the very early days of ICANN when the US Government funding of the IANA function at ISI at USC was at risk, and we have kept it ever since. Today, it is justified for ICANN's support to the Address Supporting Organisation.
More questions need to be asked on that.
Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
