ICANN’s operating costs are supported by the name registries and registrars and the address registries according to formulas established through a budget process that includes discussions among those entities. For the 2000-2001 fiscal year, .com, .net, and .org registrars are contributing US$2,140,000 and NSI Registry is contributing US$250,000. The exact arrangements for new TLDs are not yet established, but they will be expected to contribute a fair share of ICANN’s cost-recovery needs.
