<font color="#996633"><font size="2"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">Hello Michael Gurstein<br><br>I feel that $ 750, 000 + is perfectly alright. Given his background and exposure, any business corporation should have been willing to 'poach' Rod Beckstorm from wherever he was for well over a million dollars a year. So, he is not overpaid by ICANN.<br>
<br>This was one of the topics that I wrote about in Circle ID a year ago, <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20090106_icann_pay_more_increase_spending/ome">http://www.circleid.com/posts/20090106_icann_pay_more_increase_spending/ome</a> thing that I wrote last year in Circle ID , if it is of any interest.<br>

Subject: ICANN President: $750,000+$195,000 bonus vs President of US:<br>
$400,000<br>

ICANN has published, as it must as a tax exempt charitable corporation, the<br>
salary it gifts unto its President: <a href="http://bit.ly/ametyG" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/ametyG</a><br>
<br>
ICANN's president gets $750,000 plus a $195,000 spiff - $945,000, plus<br>
expenses.<br>
<br>
The amount is more than double the compensation of the President of the<br>
United Status: $400,000 plus $50,000 for expenses.<br>
<br>
The amount is about four times the compensation of the Secretary General of<br>
the United Nations.<br>
<br>
Is there perhaps some truth to the rumor that ICANN is soon going to be<br>
buying a pair of Airbus 380's to call "Domain Name One" as they transport<br>
its President?<br>
