Internet Commerce Association Membership Application

Only one membership per company is required, although individual memberships from company executives or employees are certainly welcome. Each membership includes one email address/login to access the member-only information. If you do not wish to share login information or wish to create more than one user profile, a separate associate membership will be required. One board member will be elected by each of the Professional, Silver, and Gold membership levels once that membership level reaches a minimum number of members. Each Platinum member may propose someone to represent them on the Board pending acceptance by the Board. Board seats are limited.

Revenue levels are only a suggestion, a guide to help you find a comfortable level of support. Businesses that earn a major part of their revenue by providing products or services to domain investors and developers are recommended to join as Silver, Gold or Platinum member to be listed as a sponsor.

Internet Commerce Association membership list is made public. Starting February 27, 2008, upon joining or renewing membership, all members give permission to be included in our public membership list. Donations can still be made privately.

Donations are accepted from members and non-members. Please donate here.

The ICA operates as a Business League under Section 501(c) (6) of the Internal Revenue Code. United States residents cannot deduct membership dues or contributions (such as donated domain names, or the proceeds of the auction of such names) as a charitable contribution for Federal income tax purposes. However, for U.S. tax law purposes, dues and donations to a business league (including non-cash donations) are generally deductible as a business expense, except for that portion that is devoted to lobbying and political campaign expenditures. The ICA does not anticipate incurring any political campaign expenditures in 2008 and estimates that the portion of dues and donations devoted to nondeductible lobbying expenses as defined in U.S. tax law will be in the range of 10-20%. ICA is required to provide its members with an estimate as to the percentage of members’ dues which will be devoted to lobbying expenditures during 2008. ICA will provide this estimate of the lobbying percentage for the year 2008 as soon as feasible.

The above general information may not be relied upon as tax advice, and any affected ICA member or donor should consult with the member’s own tax adviser regarding the proper treatment of their ICA support under the tax laws of the U.S. or any other nation. In particular, affected ICA members should consult with their tax advisers as to whether the excess of the auction sale price for a donated domain name, over the member’s cost for the domain name, should be reported as income or gain to the member for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.
