BACKGROUND

The ccNSO Financial Contributions Guideline, adopted in November 2013,
is expected to be reviewed every five years. The first review in 2018
led to invoicing process improvements. The second review, which began at
ICANN81, is now concluding.

The FIN2 WG was tasked with reviewing and improving the existing
financial contribution model to ensure it is fair, equitable and
encourages voluntary contributions at a reasonable level. The group
focused on

  	* Reviewing the ccTLD Shared Cost model
	* Assessing the current banded contribution system

	* Proposing ways to close the gap between actual and reasonable
contributions

The Shared Cost model—also known as the value exchange model—was
originally developed in 2013 as a joint effort by the ccNSO and ICANN
org. It outlines how ICANN and ccTLD each bring value to each other ,
and how costs incurred are allocated. The WG recommends that ICANN
receives a fair compensation to ICANN for services that benefit the
ccTLD community.

Recently, the FIN2 WG and ICANN org revisited the 2013 calculation
methodology. The model has now been updated using ICANN’s FY26 Budget
data.
