[governance] IGF Financing (and structuring)

[Ian Peter]

The obvious longer term funding structure (assuming IGF becomes permanent
some time) is a tax on domain names - the same pattern that funds ICANN.

Perhaps IGF could collect the tax on domain names and ICANN and other bodies
involved in internet governance could bid for funds from it?

IGF could then use funds coercively to obtain performance and results
desired from internet governance bodies. Sort of the reverse of the current
situation but with greater legitimacy.
