In order to improve the visibility of contributions, could you provide, besides "ccTLD financial contributions" also gTLD financial contributions by country of customers, i.e. to show the flow of money from countries to registries/registrars. With regards to the ccTLD contributions - those are voluntary contributions related to IANA function, totally unrelated to gTLD ones. It would be very appropriate that ICANN reminds the differences between ccTLDs and gTLDs. 1. The gTLDs registries and registrars pay tax on domains to ICANN, i.e. they collect contributions from users from various countries, and reverse that money to ICANN (and you do not show those statistics). 2. The ccTLDs are not obligated to pay tax on domains. The ccTLDs are not obligated to sign contract with ICANN (but it's desirable they exchange letters for AF). The legitimacy of ccTLDs is anterior to ICANN, it remains within countries. Best regards, Re: http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-2-25jun07.htm
