Full disclosure of all sources of funding.

1. Contributions by Donors.

Joop Teernstra has spent around $US 8300 of his own funds on travel from New Zealand to Singapore, Berlin, Santiago, Yokohama, Melbourne and Montevideo to attend the ICANN meetings and approximately US$800 on domain service and website hosting fees for the IDNO. (on-going)

ISOCNZ(*) has the honour of having made the first cash contribution to the IDNO by paying the attendance fee of DM 80, - for the DNSO meeting in Berlin.

ISOCNZ has funded $ US 404,- towards the cost of accommodation in Berlin and $645 for accommodation in Yokohama.

ISOCNZ has also funded 12 months of website hosting and domain name fees.(ad US$399)

IDNO member Karl Auerbach has made a cash contribution of $US 1000 towards Joop Teernstra's expenses.

IDNO member Srikanth Narra has given $300 towards the "Santiago" expenses.

IDNO member Andy Gardner has spent around $700 to be able to be present and help in Santiago. He also paid for the idno.org Domain Name fee.

NSI has donated $ 1858 towards the costs of travel and accommodation in Berlin and $ 1000 towards those in Santiago.

This has been accepted with the understanding that the IDNO must maintain its independence by treating such a payment as a loan that must be repaid out of members' contributions.

The above gift has been the result of an approach by the cash-strapped IDNO founder. It has not been an NSI initiative.

2. Support sought, and finally obtained.

Support from the Salzburg Seminar (created to fund ICANN meeting representatives' travel expenses) has been sought since the fund was announced at the Cairo meeting. For Yokohama and Melbourne it was not obtained, due to restriction of such funding to NCDNHC (Non-commercial Domain Name Holders) constituency members.

Prior to the Montevideo meetings, the CA voted on and applied for membership of the NCDNHC. This has opened the way for future funding of ICANN travel for CA representatives.

In September 2001 Salzburg Seminar generously funded the travel of your CA representative to the Montevideo meeting.

The mailing list service of Actrix has been pre-paid by Chris Streatfield.

The list service is now donated by InternetNZ.

3. Donations in kind

Many free hours of work have been given by Joop Teernstra, Ivan Latunov, Joe Abley (for discussion list maintenance), Dennis Schaefer, Srikanth Narra, Arnold Gehring, Kevin Kelly, Karl E.Peters, Karl Auerbach, Penelope Schenk (designing the logo), Andy Gardner and others.

Allaire Corporation has kindly donated a copy of Cold Fusion 4.0 on which the polling Booth runs so effectively.

Thank you, Donors and Contributors!
