Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. However, ICANN is subject to income taxes on any net income that is derived from a trade or business, regularly carried on, and not in furtherance of the purposes for which it was granted exemption. ICANN believes it is in compliance with all applicable laws; however, upon audit by a taxing authority, if amounts are found due, ICANN may be liable for such taxes. Management has analyzed ICANN's tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that, as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, no liabilities are required to be recorded in connection with such tax positions in ICANN's consolidated financial statements. true Europe (Including Iceland and Greenland) 3 75 Program Services SEE 990 PART III

THE DRIVING ELEMENT OF THIS PHILOSOPHY IS THAT ICANN'S COMPENSATION IS MARKET-BASED. ICANN HAS PERSONNEL IN MANY DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD AND STRIVES TO APPLY THIS PHILOSOPHY LOCALLY.

THESE POLICIES START OUT AS RECOMMENDATIONS FORMED AND REFINED BY THE GLOBAL ICANN COMMUNITY THROUGH ITS SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS AND INFLUENCED BY ITS ADVISORY COMMITTEES. ICANN USES THE TERM "SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS" TO DESCRIBE THE GROUPS WITHIN ICANN'S COMMUNITY THAT SUPPORT ICANN'S MISSION THROUGH MECHANISMS ESTABLISHED WITHIN THEIR AREAS OF EXPERTISE, WHICH DIFFERS FROM THE DEFINITION of supporting organization USED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE. ICANN CONSIDERS THAT THERE ARE 54 VOLUNTEER LEADERS THAT SERVE THE SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS AND ADVISORY COMMITTEES IN LEADERSHIP POSITIONS SUCH AS CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR. IN ADDITION TO THE VOLUNTEER LEADERS WHO ARE APPOINTED TO SPECIFIC ROLES AND REPORTED IN FORM 990, PART I, LINE 6, THERE ARE ALSO HUNDREDS (IF NOT MORE) OF VOLUNTEERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD THAT PARTICIPATE IN THE SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS AND ADVISORY COMMITTEES AND GREATER ICANN COMMUNITY.
