[NA-Discuss] Financial Contribution & Assessment of Dues

[Danny Younger]

Eduardo,

There are currently 16 accredited North American ALss
(with more on the way).  Dividing $500 amongst this
group amounts to no more than $30 per year per
organization... (and most organizations have more than
a handful of members).

As ICANN is prepared to spend $760,000 on the at-large
this year (or $152,000 per region) for staff support
and travel funds, I view a modest membership fee as
eminently reasonable.
