PCST
In agreement between the Board Finance Committee, the leaders of the SO/AC Chartering Organizations and the co-chairs of the CCWG, the Project Cost Support Team (PCST) was set up as a support function to the CCWG co-chairs for cost management purposes.
The PCST supports the project planning, providing costs information and analysis, and supporting forecasting.
The PCST also produces monthly reporting of the entire project's expenses:
- to the CCWG co-chairs to support their management of the project: the expenses under their responsibility
- to the chartering Organization and to the public for transparency and accountability: all expenses of the project.

Personnel
For the IANA Transition project, ICANN has identified staff members involved in the project in a significant fashion. Significant is determined on the basis of an estimated percentage of time spent on the project at or exceeding 10% and can be as a result of an on-going activity carried out on a partial basis, or a dedicated full time effort during a limited period.
