“This table represents reimbursements and compensation paid directly to Board Members, payments made to third party vendors such as hotels, restaurants, and travel agencies on behalf of Board Members as well as a total of the three amounts.”
Interestingly you will see quite a different amount paid for certain Directors ranging from $0 to well over $100,000:

During FY12, there were eight face‐to‐face meetings for Board members, including three regular ICANN Meetings (Dakar in October 2011, San Jose in March 2012 and Prague in June 2012), and five Board meetings (Santa Monica in October 2011, Beverly Hills in February 2012, Brussels in March 2012, Paris in April 2012, and Amsterdam in May 2012).
In addition, a number of Directors volunteered time, after approval by the Board, to represent ICANN at other meetings and their travel and meeting expenses were reimbursed.
Rod Beckstrom’s term as President and CEO of ICANN commenced 1 July 2009 and ended 30 June 2012.
Pursuant to his employment agreement, in FY12 he was paid $750,000.00 in salary, $156,000.00 for the FY11 bonus and $86,534.40 in for accrued vacation. He also received reimbursement of expenses of $8,364.25, and $132,174.95 in payments on his behalf for travel related costs. His FY12 bonus was paid in FY13.

Talk about feeding at the trough…..that’s ridiculously high for “public service” at a non-profit. Oink!
Notice that ICANN is up to to their usual tricks, releasing negative news/information outside of normal business hours, indeed this time on a Saturday! Let’s all retweet this story on Monday.
Mike Mann says
Supposed to be a nonprofit representing regular people with domains and the nonprofit internet community, what a frekin scam like usual.

John Berryhill says
In late June/early July 1996, the DNC took steps to locate a donor for Carey’s campaign. Sullivan assigned responsibility for DNC fundraising in the Northern California region to DNC employee Mark Thomann. In connection with that new assignment, Sullivan instructed Thomann to follow-up on outstanding contribution commitments made by attendees of a June 9, 1996 DNC ”Presidential Dinner” fundraiser at the San Francisco home of Senator Diane Feinstein and her husband, Richard Blum. (note – 41) Among the outstanding contribution commitments was one for $100,000 made by Judith Vazquez. (note – 42)
42The DNC’s Invitation List describes Vazquez as ”the richest female entrepreneur in the Phillippines.” DNC Briefing Memo for DNC Presidential Dinner, June 8, 1996 (Ex. 15). Vazquez’s lawyers understood the dinner to carry a $100,000/plate price tag. Transcribed Interview of Twila Foster (Vazquez’s attorney), October 20, 1997, p. 10; Transcribed Interview of Noah Novogrodsky (Vazquez’s attorney), October 13, 1997, p. 24. Vazquez made the $100,000 commitment because she wanted to meet the President, and wanted to support his campaign. Novogrodsky Interview, p. 12; Deposition of Mark Thomann, September 23, 1997, p. 60.
Vazquez’s $100,000 commitment was problematic. Vazquez is a Philippine national–she is not an American citizen and does not hold a green card. (note – 43) Thus, Vazquez could not legally contribute to the DNC. Nevertheless, Vazquez was invited to, and attended the June 9 fundraiser. (note – 44)

@ John Berryhill, in answer to your inciteful observation – bear with me! – the solution is to force Google to license its registration confirmation software to the registrars or registry. Somebody has to pay for it. Why should Google object, as long as it gets paid? If government can split a company, it can force Google to license its technology.
I know, because pathetic as it appears to those who denigrate my portfolio, I try to register the twitter site and gmail address of important brands. Therefore, I am managing several gmail accounts, and had a chance to observe Google’s confirmation process. It is excellent!
If ICANN can just IMPLEMENT the thing for the new whosis demands, it can move forward with the new gTLDs, instead of stewing over the new whosis demands, while, “other competitors out there who . . . literally hijack what you created together as a community,” speaking about the movement of ccTLDs into the “new registry” space. ccTLDs, it was brought out in a transcript of Board Session with Registrars, aren’t governed by the same contracts which govern new gTLDs. They are governed within individual nations who hold the registries.

There still time for the “Royal Household” to better the 2012 numbers …

No surprise there! I’m politically neutral, btw. Just enjoying the show!
