[NA-Discuss] Financial Contribution & Assessment of Dues

[Thompson, Darlene]

But you still haven't answered WHY???

As John L, pointed out, they have plenty of money, so why would this
kind of pittance and accounting nightmare be desirable to them?

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.
