While cash reserves were under $10 million dollars at the end of 2006, today ICANN sits on a stock-pile of almost $350 million dollars, primarily due to the gTLD expansion, albeit temporarily.
Often considered to be the driving force behind technological innovation on the Internet, ICANN members are invited to participate in multi-annual conferences that take place in exotic destinations. The choice of such resorts has earned ICANN the nickname “Club Med” of domaining.
ICANN forums are considered by some domain investors to be the best public place to hide Jimmy Hoffa’s body, as discussions related to pending industry regulations are rarely seen by the public – if it weren’t for the efforts of Canadian domain investor and financial expert, George Kirikos.
Example: “Are you an ICANN, or an ICANN’t?”
