Hello Alberto, Thanks for your message. I will ask the group whether they want to discuss this point based on your message. The financial information of ICANN can be found on this page: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/financials-en Best regards, Alp From: "alberto@soto.net.ar" <alberto@soto.net.ar> Date: 12 May 2025 Monday at 19:13 To: Alperen Eken <alperen.eken@icann.org> Cc: "lac-discuss-en@atlarge-lists.icann.org" <lac-discuss-en@atlarge-lists.icann.org>, 'LACRALO Español' <lac-discuss-es@atlarge-lists.icann.org> Subject: RE: [Ext] Consultation on "How we meet" Dear Alperen, I've read your instructions. I only have one observation: there are percentages that go up or down (most go up), but they refer to an initial meeting. I think the list of ICANN's annual revenue is missing, indicating what percentage each ICANN meeting represents of that revenue. Therefore, the savings generated by this work should be related as a percentage to ICANN's revenue. Thank you very much for your prompt response.

You can find all relevant documents on the How We Meet wiki page, specifically, under the documents section, there is a drive folder named “Cost and Analysis”. All the data behind the report is available in this drive folder [icann-community.atlassian.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces...>, you can find details like average cost for travel, hotels, venues or total costs of meetings historically. Additionally, in the report, under each recommendation, the group tried to indicate the savings if a specific recommendation is adopted. For example: “Traditionally, the last day of a six-day meeting (currently a Thursday) is used for community wrap-up meetings, the Public Forum and the ICANN Board Meeting. ICANN staff provided the discussion group with data that shows a consistently strong decrease in meeting room usage on the final two days of a six-day meeting (i.e., Wednesdays and especially Thursdays), and estimated that reducing the Community Forum by a day could result in potential annual savings of over US$460,000, due to reduced venue rental costs, lower travel expenses, and streamlined scheduling.” If you have further questions, feel free to reach out.

In the webinar with our CEO, I asked him a question about "How We Meet." To be able to give an opinion on savings at our meetings, we should first know how much ICANN raises, then know the savings percentage for each measure taken. For example: if I have a fundraising figure of 100 and I save 0.01% with a measure, and it's restrictive, it's not worth adopting. But I couldn't find the percentages anywhere. I thought there would be something about these percentages in the final survey, but no. And there's no opportunity to point this out either. When I asked my question, our CEO replied that those percentages should be listed somewhere. But I couldn't find them. Could you please tell me where they are? Best regards Alberto Soto Former LACRALO CHAIR Former ALAC MEMBER Estimados, disculpe la molestia. En el seminario web con nuestro director ejecutivo, le pregunté sobre "Cómo nos reunimos". Para poder opinar sobre los ahorros en nuestras reuniones, primero debemos saber cuánto recauda la ICANN y luego el porcentaje de ahorro de cada medida adoptada. Por ejemplo: si tengo una recaudación de fondos de 100 y ahorro un 0,01 % con una medida restrictiva, no vale la pena adoptarla. Pero no encontré los porcentajes en ninguna parte. Pensé que habría información sobre estos porcentajes en la encuesta final, pero no. Y tampoco hay oportunidad de mencionarlo. Cuando hice mi pregunta, nuestro director ejecutivo respondió que esos porcentajes deberían estar en alguna parte. Pero no los encontré. ¿Podría decirme dónde están?
