Hi,<br>
<br>
Many of us have been asking for a bottom up discussion on this issue<br>
since the new gTLD program was approved.<br>
<br>
It has never been the right time for such a discussion for one reason or<br>
another.<br>
<br>
At the very least, I believe they are holding these funds in a separate<br>
account, or something like that, until the Board decides what it want s<br>
to do.&nbsp; Hard to know for sure.<br>

&gt;&gt; Not that I want to have any more travel, but I am sure ICANN can<br>
&gt;&gt; afford the transition costs:<br>
