Bill Clinton, ICANN Speaking Fees, San Francisco
Former President Bill Clinton received $255,000 for a speech at an ICANN meeting in San Francisco. Despite ICANN's status as a non-profit and claims that the fee was covered by private sponsorship, no specific sponsors were identified at the event. The speech is criticized as "canned" material, and the high fee is questioned given that ICANN's revenue is derived from internet domain name registrations.
