Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a First-class or charter travel
ICANN 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 4a Severance or change-of-control payment
Gina Villavicencio was paid $405,953 in severance payments during the 2023 calendar year.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 7 Non-fixed payments
REGARDING 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-fy24-01jul23-en.pdf https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/remuneration-practices-fy23-01feb23-en.pdf
Schedule J, Part II
ICANN'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 US DOLLAR.
Schedule J, Part II
