While I assume this was a little tongue in cheek, it should be noted that the amount spent by InternetNZ on ICANN travel is less than 50 cents per domain name per year.
Well according to the Domainz website there are 115,632 domain names registered in New Zealand...
Now given that Keith indicated that the figure was less than 50 cents you could reasonably assume that it was more then 40c, and probably more than 45c, so does this mean that InternetNZ spent of the order of $55,000 on ICANN travel last year...!!...??...!!!...
This is about right. ICANN meets normally 4 times a year and we normally send 2 people per meeting. The meetings actually last over a week as you have meeting of APTLD, ccTLD, DNSO and ICANN itself to attend. In between the four main meetings we often have ccTLD only meetings in Asia or Europe which we sometimes attend as this is where united positions are drawn up for ccTLDs in dealing with ICANN. ICANN is reducing its frequency of meetings to 3 per year so I am hopeful expenditure will accordingly fall.
