Imported from official source

Announcement

The IETF Administration LLC has finalised its budget for 2026.

The IETF Administration LLC 2026 Final Budget is made up of the following:

A draft budget was shared for community consultation and no changes were made as a result, though other changes were incorporated that are sufficiently immaterial to not require a further consultation.

  • IETF 126 & IETF 127 meetings will have a slightly increased fee structure.
  • The additional communications support employee agreed in 2025 is included
  • Investments rate of return is 2.7% over the year, as confirmed with our investment advisors
  • Up to 3.0% inflation reflected in staff and for some contract costs
  • ($38,600) Additional Site Visit Costs due to delay in 2025 visits
  • ($26,250) Increase in NOC costs due to inflation
  • ($6,005) Adjusting CPI for employees from 2.5% to 3.0%
  • ($400) Removing remote registration revenue rounding to match the registration system

    • Total changes are a decrease to net income of ($71,255).

  • The budget for Investment income is higher due to using 2.7% vs. 2.2%, as advised by our investment advisers.  This is an increase of $232,320
  • ISOC endowment matching has decreased as 2025 included the $1m ARIN donation match and donations in 2025 were lower
  • ICANN grant revenue released as the conditions of the grant are met
  • Interest income has increased due to investing our working capital in a money market vs a bank savings account.
  • Sponsorship revenue budgeted decreased slightly due to lower Diversity/Inclusivity and Sustainability sponsorships expected. 
  • Meeting venue costs are significantly higher, but travel costs have decreased.
  • Secretariat costs increased due to the re-allocation of the contract costs between cost centers.
  • Inflationary increase in all wages at a maximum of 3%.
  • Additional communications support personnel added
  • Legal services increased due to subpoena support costs
  • Request for budget funds from the IPMC increased 11% from the prior year
