(29/05/14): There has been no additional changes since the last sponsorship update.[Chat] [Recording] [Transcript Page 31] [Reference Meeting Page]
(22/05/14): The sponsorship hasn’t really changed very much. Basically, one of the things that have changed is that Olivier has gotten a response from the EURid, .eu people, that he asked for money, and they are already sponsoring the ICANN Meeting itself, so they’re not able to sponsor us separately. Microsoft is a no as well, because again they’re sponsoring the wider ICANN meeting. .London might be interested.[Chat] [Recording] [Transcript Pag #23-24] [Reference Meeting Page]
(15/05/14): Afilias: Saturday dinner, PIR: Sunday lunch & Google: as required, Verisign: waiting for decision, Nominet: waiting for feedback, Microsoft: Overall ICANN.

It’s better to have more than not enough. Please refer to the transcript for more details. [Chat] [Transcript - Pg. 25-30] [Reference Meeting Page]

Afilias Feedback is that the numbers are a little high. They will return to us with a counter-proposal shortly. Microsoft: request has been passed up the hierarchy to the people in charge of sponsorships.
(20/02/14): Proposals have been sent to Microsoft, Facebook, Public Internet Registry (PIR), Afilias, and to Google. In the pipe, Walt Disney and ISOC. [Transcript Page:22] [Reference Meeting Page]
(06/02/14): The documents for the sponsors is all ready to go. Waiting but have not been shared with any of the sponsors yet because there was a question mark on the actual numbers that were required, the size of the funding needed for a lunch or for a dinner. There are questions at the moment as to whether it would be a sponsorship or whether it would be a donation, and there are small differences between the two. A donation provides no ability for the sponsor to blatantly have their logo on all of the documentation which is associated with the event, whereas a sponsorship does. The rules are slightly different, and there’s some discussion going on around that. Some of the target sponsors are: Facebook, Google, Afilias and PIR. Please refer to transcript for more details about this item. [Transcript page 19-21] [Reference Meeting Page]
(23/01/14): Olivier Crepin-Leblond going after 15K US dollars for a lunch activity, 30K US dollars for an evening dinner and 50K for the showcase (celebration) activity. There is a disagreement with the meetings team with regards to the numbers. The meetings team thinks that it’s actually going to be more expensive, and we need to ask for more, but haven't been able to get feedback from them for several weeks now. PRI was mentioned as a possible sponsor for a Welcome Cocktail activity [Transcript Page 11-15 Reference page]
(13/01/14): Opened today. Sponsor's draft letter almost done. Have contacted Google, Afilias (met with them already) and Nominet. OC needs everyone to contact him or staff regarding potential sponsors. Sponsors are sought for the showcase, lunch and dinner activities. [Recording (47:00) - Reference page]
