<p dir="ltr">Hi Arun,</p>
<p dir="ltr">I think the main puzzle is how exactly will ICANN/Co-Chairs apportion funding to participants. What determines those who "constructively" contributes? Is it by leading the working parties, by number of mails written? Or by number of meetings attended? Or as you put it those who make public comments?</p>
<p dir="ltr">If participants will be funded (which I am actually in support of), then perhaps doubling the travel slots for each SO/AC and letting them determine which of their participants attend is the better option at ensuring balance.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In your case Arun, I expect you to indicate your interest within NCUC. I think this will be the closest transparent approach possible.</p>
