ExplanationICANN is exempt from federal and state income taxes in the United States under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23701d of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. 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 from ICANN or Public Technical Identifiers, ICANN's affiliate, 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, 2025 and 2024, respectively, no liabilities are required to be recorded in connection with such tax positions in ICANN's consolidated financial statements.ExplanationTxt

Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant fundsFor both grants within the United States and outside of the United States, ICANN maintains two programs that award grants of support that enable individuals to attend ICANN Public Meetings: the ICANN Fellowship Program and the NextGen Program. The ICANN Fellowship Program seeks to help create a broader base of knowledgeable constituents to engage in the ICANN multistakeholder process and to help those constituents become the new voices of experience in their regions and on the global stage. Through the Fellowship Program, ICANN provides coaching and travel assistance for individuals to attend an ICANN Public Meeting. During the meeting, program participants immerse in a "fast-track" experience into ICANN's multistakeholder process, with presentations about the many parts of ICANN and opportunities to network and interact with ICANN community members, Board members and personnel. Priority is given to candidates currently living in underserved and underrepresented communities around the world, those who represent diversity of gender, sector, region, experience, and expertise, and/or have established financial need. For more information on the Fellowship Program, please refer to: https://www.icann.org/fellowshipprogram . The NextGen Program is focused on the next generation of individuals who will become actively engaged in shaping the future of global Internet policy in their regional communities. Through this program, ICANN provides coaching and travel assistance to students from the regions where an ICANN Public Meeting is taking place. For more information on the NextGen Program, please refer to: https://www.icann.org/public-responsibility-support/nextgen . Both of these programs cover the cost of economy class airfare and hotel, as well as provide a stipend after successful completion of the program in order to assist in covering some basic expenses incurred by participants during the meeting. Travel and hotel costs associated with individuals pre-selected to attend the Public Meeting are booked and paid for directly by ICANN. All individuals are eligible to receive a flat stipend not to exceed US $500.00. Stipends are generally provided to participants by wire transfer and are paid to each individual after the meeting and after the participant has demonstrated completion of the program. ICANN also provides travel support to other members of the volunteer community to facilitate policy development efforts and outreach important to ICANN's mission. The process for selection of supported travelers is largely based on specific criteria established by each stakeholder/constituency group. Travel support extended to these groups is reported as part of travel expenses in Part IX, Statement of Functional Expenses. For other contributions, Stakeholder Engagement team members develop requests based upon ICANN's Strategic Plan and ICANN's Operating Plan. Specific needs within specific regions of the world are considered. ICANN Executives review the list of suggested contributions and decide on which contributions to pursue. The ICANN Board and community consider the contributions within the overall fiscal year Operating Plan and Budget process.

Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a First-class or charter travelICANN does not offer first class travel but allows certain travelers to travel business class either as a result of their function or due to medical requirements, or unless a complimentary upgrade has been offered to the traveler or the traveler chooses to pay for an upgrade with their own money. Some airlines use the description of first class instead of business class, which may lead some ICANN-funded travelers to have traveled first class as a result. If an airline offers both first and business class, with first class being usually more expensive than business class, ICANN does not allow for first class travel, unless a complimentary upgrade has been offered to the traveler or the traveler chooses to pay for an upgrade with their own money.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 7 Non-fixed paymentsRegarding At-Risk Compensation: The overarching objective of ICANN's remuneration framework is to ensure remuneration provided is competitive globally and that it provides personnel with appropriate motivation for high performance towards agreed objectives. This framework is described in detail within the document entitled ICANN Personnel Remuneration Practices. See attached links: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/remuneration-practices-fy25-09dec24-en.pdf https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/remuneration-practices-fy24-01jul23-en.pdf
Schedule J, Part IIICANN's overall compensation philosophy is to target compensation between the 50th and 75th percentile of the relevant market, to attract and retain the right personnel. 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. Employment markets around the world are quite different, and also bring different tax, benefit, and other local conditions to bear. In addition, exchange rate fluctuations also affect the U.S. dollar equivalence of the personnel who is paid in other currencies than the U.S. dollar.
Schedule J, Part IIAmounts listed in Part VII of Form 990 and Schedule J represent amounts for the 2024 calendar year.
Schedule J, Part IIEffective December 9, 2024, Sally Costerton's role as Interim President and CEO of ICANN concluded, and Kurt Erik "Kurtis" Lindqvist was appointed President and CEO. Mr. Lindqvist's compensation data pertains to calendar year 2024, which covers his service in this role from December 9, 2024 through December 31, 2024, and is also shown in Part VII, Section A.

Form 990, Part I, Line 1 Organization's MissionICANN's mission is to coordinate, at the overall level, and to ensure the stable and secure operation of, the global Internet's system of unique identifiers. In particular, ICANN fulfills its mission either directly, or through an affiliate by: (i) coordinating the assignment of Internet technical parameters as needed to maintain universal connectivity on the Internet; (ii) performing and overseeing functions related to the coordination of the Internet Protocol ("IP") address space; (iii) performing and overseeing functions related to the coordination of the Internet Domain Name System ("DNS"), including, supporting the development of, and implementing policies for determining the circumstances under which new top-level domains are added to the root zone; (iv) overseeing operation of the authoritative Internet root zone; and (v) engaging in any other related lawful activity in furtherance of items (i) through (iv). See additional information about ICANN's programs and activities on the ICANN website and in the ICANN Annual Report posted on https://www.icann.org/.
Form 990, Part I, Line 3 GOVERNING BODYThere are 16 voting members of the Board of Directors, including ICANN's President and CEO who serves ex officio as a voting Board Member. ICANN's Bylaws provide for four non-voting liaisons to the Board who are entitled to attend Board meetings, participate in Board discussions and deliberations, and have access (under conditions established by the Board) to materials provided to Directors for use in Board discussions, deliberations and meetings. The following individuals served as non-voting liaisons during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025: 1) Nicolas Caballero (GAC Liaison, Mar 2023 - Present) 2) Harald Alverstrand (IETF Liaison, 2018 - Nov 2024) 3) James Galvin (SSAC Liaison, Oct 2021 - Present) 4) Wes Hardaker (RSSAC Liaison, Sep 2022 - Present) 5) DAVID LAWRENCE (IETF LIAISON, NOV 2024 - PRESENT)
Form 990, Part I, Line 6 VOLUNTEERSICANN accomplishes its mission through implementation of policies approved by its Board of Directors. 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. These volunteers participate in policy development working groups and review teams. Among other things, volunteer policy development working groups form around an issue and consider it from all angles, making policy recommendations by consensus wherever possible. ICANN also includes several different Bylaws-mandated reviews that are performed by volunteers. Many of these working groups and review teams are open to everyone in ICANN's community, in a bottom-up, open and transparent process that does not require a membership or a selection process for participation (other than limited by the size of the working group or review team if specified). Because of the open process for volunteers to participate, the number of volunteers involved during the period is not tracked and reported. ICANN's Annual Report provides highlights of community involvement and achievement for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. See discussion in (https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/annual-report-2025-en.pdf).
Form 990, Part I, Line 8 LINES 8-22 FINANCIAL PRESENTATIONThe financial statements of ICANN are presented on a stand-alone basis. Transactions with its affiliate Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) are reported on an arms-length basis. PTI is a separate legal entity and separately files a Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 ICANN recorded the following transactions in relation to services delegated to PTI to perform the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) functions: Form 990, Part VIII Statement of Revenue, Line 2d includes "PTI Services Agreement" revenue of $10,112,172, representing amounts invoiced at cost for personnel and other resources provided to PTI to perform the IANA services. Form 990, Part IX Statement of Functional Expenses, Line 24a includes "PTI services agreement" expense of $10,112,172 for expenses payable to PTI for IANA services performed in accordance with the IANA Naming Function Contract.
Form 990, Part I, Line 19 Part XI, LINE 3 RECONCILIATION OF NET ASSETSDURING FY25, ICANN IMPLEMENTED AN ORGANIZATIONAL-WIDE INITIATIVE TO REDUCE OPERATING COSTS. ADDITIONALLY, ICANN CONTINUED TO INCUR PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT COSTS RELATED TO THE NEW GTLD PROGRAM 2026 ROUND, WHICH REMAINS IN THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE UNTIL THE APPLICATION WINDOW OPENS.
Form 990, Part III, Line 1 Organization's MissionICANN'S MISSION IS TO COORDINATE, AT THE OVERALL LEVEL, AND TO ENSURE THE STABLE AND SECURE OPERATION OF, THE GLOBAL INTERNET'S SYSTEM OF UNIQUE IDENTIFIERS. IN PARTICULAR, ICANN FULFILLS ITS MISSION EITHER DIRECTLY, OR THROUGH AN AFFILIATE BY: (I) COORDINATING THE ASSIGNMENT OF INTERNET TECHNICAL PARAMETERS AS NEEDED TO MAINTAIN UNIVERSAL CONNECTIVITY ON THE INTERNET; (II) PERFORMING AND OVERSEEING FUNCTIONS RELATED TO THE COORDINATION OF THE INTERNET PROTOCOL ("IP") ADDRESS SPACE; (III) PERFORMING AND OVERSEEING FUNCTIONS RELATED TO THE COORDINATION OF THE INTERNET DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM ("DNS"), INCLUDING, SUPPORTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF, AND IMPLEMENTING POLICIES FOR DETERMINING THE CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH NEW TOP-LEVEL DOMAINS ARE ADDED TO THE ROOT ZONE; (IV) OVERSEEING OPERATION OF THE AUTHORITATIVE INTERNET ROOT ZONE; AND (V) ENGAGING IN ANY OTHER RELATED LAWFUL ACTIVITY IN FURTHERANCE OF ITEMS (I) THROUGH (IV). SEE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT ICANN'S PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES ON THE ICANN WEBSITE AND IN THE ICANN ANNUAL REPORT POSTED ON HTTPS://WWW.ICANN.ORG/.
Form 990, Part IV, Line 28 LINE 28A-C BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS WITH INTERESTED PARTIESICANN may enter into or consider participation in small arm's length transactions between ICANN and certain taxable organizations with which certain ICANN Directors or Officers (or members of their families) may have an affiliation. Under ICANN's Conflicts of Interest Policy, all Officers and Directors are required to disclose any actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest before entering into discussion on such matters. In addition, the Board committee responsible for Conflicts of Interest at least annually reviews all Board Member Conflicts of Interest statements. See: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/sois-en. ICANN discloses related party transactions in Footnote 10 to its audited financial statements which can be found at the following link. See: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/icann-financial-report-fye-30jun25-en.pdf ICANN checked the box "Yes" for Part IV, Line 28c in order to disclose substantial contributors in Schedule L, Part IV. The IRS instructions updated the definition of interested persons to include substantial contributors. However, the IRS has not updated the 2022 Form 990, Part IV, Lines 28a-c language for the change in the related IRS instructions. Therefore, to comply with the instructions, ICANN has checked "Yes" for Line 28c and disclosed the interested persons listed are entities that are both vendors and contributors to ICANN. However, ICANN did not have any business transactions with an entity in which a current or former Officer, Director, Trustee, or Key Employee (or a family member) was an Officer, Director, Trustee, or direct or indirect owner of that entity.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 10a LOCAL CHAPTERS, BRANCHES, AND AFFILIATESDuring fiscal year 2025, ICANN had offices outside of the United States in Brussels, Belgium; Istanbul, Turkey; Singapore, Singapore; and Montevideo, Uruguay; and engagement centers in Beijing, China; Geneva, Switzerland; and Nairobi, Kenya; all of which provided support to their respective geographical regions and/or time zones. Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) is an affiliate of ICANN. PTI was established in August 2016 under the laws of the State of California as a non-profit public benefit corporation and ICANN is the sole member of PTI. ICANN has written policies and procedures governing the activities of such offices, engagement centers and affiliates to ensure their operations are consistent with ICANN's exempt purposes.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 13 Line 13 & 14Whistleblower Policy and Document Retention and Destruction Policy ICANN maintains an internal document retention and destruction policy and historically has followed best industry practices, in accordance with applicable laws, for retention and destruction. ICANN also maintains an internal Whistleblower (or "Anonymous Hotline") Policy, that also follows industry best practices.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 7a Members or stockholders electing members of governing bodyThe Nominating Committee (NomCom) is responsible for the nomination of eight ICANN voting Board Members (see Article 7, Section 7.2(a)(1) of ICANN Bylaws at https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article7. The NomCom is also charged with populating a portion of the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), the Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) Council and the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council. The NomCom complements the other means for filling a portion of key ICANN leadership positions achieved within the Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees. Article 8 of the Bylaws states that the NomCom shall adopt such operating procedures as it deems necessary, which shall be published on the ICANN website. The NomCom is designed to function independently from the Board, the Supporting Organizations, and Advisory Committees. Members of the NomCom contribute both their understanding of the broad interests of the Internet as a whole and their knowledge and experience of the concerns and interests of the Internet stakeholders that have appointed them. The challenge for the NomCom is to integrate these perspectives and derive consensus in its selections. Although appointed by Supporting Organizations and other ICANN bodies, individual NomCom members are not accountable to their appointing groups but rather to ICANN as a whole. NomCom members are accountable for adherence to the Bylaws and for compliance with the rules and procedures established by the NomCom. In addition, and also in accordance with ICANN's Bylaws, each of the following Supporting Organizations nominate two voting Board Members to the ICANN Board, each for a three-year term: the Address Supporting Organization (ASO), the ccNSO and the GNSO. Further, the At-Large Community also nominates one voting Board Member to the ICANN Board every three years. After the NomCom, the Supporting Organizations and the At-Large Community identify their voting Board Member nominations, they promptly notify the Empowered Community, which is the sole designator of ICANN and which shall designate, within the meaning of Section 5220 of the California Corporations Code, all of the above identified voting Board Members as Directors to the ICANN Board. In addition to the Empowered Community designated Board Members, the President and CEO sits as an ex officio voting Board Member, who is selected by the ICANN Board of Directors.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 7b Decisions requiring approval by members or stockholdersIn accordance with ICANN's Bylaws, ICANN created an unincorporated association called the Empowered Community. The Empowered Community is made up of entities participating in ICANN's multistakeholder community. The Empowered Community has limited and enumerated powers in relation to the ICANN Board. The Empowered Community is responsible for the designation of all voting members of the ICANN Board of Directors (other than the President and CEO). Subject to specified rules and procedures, the Empowered Community may reject the ICANN Board's approval of some Bylaws amendments, budgets, annual and five-year operating plans, and five-year strategic plans. If the Empowered Community invokes this rejection right, the ICANN Board must go back and look at these items again. The Empowered Community may not dictate the version of these documents that the ICANN Board must approve. The Empowered Community must also consent to the ICANN Board's approval of the amendment of certain parts of the ICANN Bylaws (such as ICANN's mission or key accountability commitments), as well as to restatements of the Articles of Incorporation or a sale of assets as described in the ICANN Bylaws.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing bodyForm 990 Review Process A copy of the Form 990 is provided to ICANN's Board Members before it is filed. The process by which the Form 990 is prepared, reviewed and received is as follows: 1. ICANN engages an outside tax preparer to assist in the preparation of its Form 990. 2. ICANN's SVP, Planning and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), and Office of the General Counsel review the Form 990, and the SVP, Planning and CFO signs off for approval. 3. The Form 990 is provided to the ICANN Board Members.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policyConflicts of Interest Policy ICANN has written Conflicts of Interest policies, which are applicable to all Board Members, Organization personnel, and independent contractors. The Office of the General Counsel monitors the policies with oversight by the Board Governance Committee (BGC) as they relate to the Board. A Conflicts of Interest Disclosure Statement is completed annually and signed by each Board Member, Officer, Organization personnel, and independent contractor. The Organization personnel disclosure statements are reviewed by the head of Human Resources and discussed with the General Counsel's Office if any issues arise. The Board-level disclosure statements are reviewed by the Office of General Counsel and the BGC. The Board Member, Officer and Key Employee Conflicts of Interest Policy can be found at: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/coi-en. This policy describes, among other things, the duty to disclose, the procedures for addressing Conflicts of Interest, the duty to abstain, how violations of the Conflicts of Interest Policy will be handled, the process by which all covered persons sign annually their affirmation of the policy and disclose their actual or potential conflicts, and the requirement and nature of periodic reviews. A summary of Board Member and Officer disclosure statements is posted on ICANN's website at: https://www.icann.org/en/governance/conflicts-of-interest-policy

Form 990, Section G Gross ReceiptsGross receipts are used to determine the type of Form 990 that an organization can file. Generally, if the gross receipts are $50K or less, then the organization may file a Form 990-N, a Form 990-EZ or a Form 990. Generally, if the gross receipts are $200K or less, then the organization may file a Form 990-EZ or a Form 990. If the gross receipts exceed $200K, an organization files the standard Form 990. Per IRS instructions, gross receipts are the total amount the organization received from all sources during its annual accounting period, without subtracting any costs or expenses. Receipt sources include both the total program service revenue ($195M) and the total cost or other basis incurred as a result from the sale of securities over the entire course of the fiscal year ($996M). Gross receipts are the sum of the following line items in Column A of Part VIII Statement of Revenue: Lines 6b(i), 6b(ii), 7b(i), 7b(ii), 8b, 9b, 10b, and 12. For ICANN, the calculation is Line 7b (cost or other basis and sales expenses) plus Line 12 (total revenue). The amount in 7b is calculated by summing all of the cost of sales/maturities across the organization's investment holdings. From Part VIII, Statement of Revenue Line 7b = $800,690,491 Line 12 = $194,948,725 Total = $995,639,216
