In any case it would be a very good selling point for ICANN to show how much ($$$) goes into SO/AC’s support. On top of that, since some SO/ACs think negatively about ICANN financial support (i.e. the “independence” of GACs secretariat, ICANN should consider a different procedure for budgeting this support, so as to shift more responsibility to the budgeting side to SO/ACs themselves, and audit later their expenses.</span></p><p style="height:11pt;text-align:justify;color:#000000;direction:ltr;font-size:11pt;margin:0;font-family:"Arial";padding:0"><span></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;color:#000000;direction:ltr;font-size:11pt;margin:0;font-family:"Arial";padding:0"><span style="text-decoration:underline;font-weight:bold">RSAC</span></p><p style="height:11pt;text-align:justify;color:#000000;direction:ltr;font-size:11pt;margin:0;font-family:"Arial";padding:0"><span></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;color:#000000;direction:ltr;font-size:11pt;margin:0;font-family:"Arial";padding:0"><span>{Could not participate}</span></p><p style="height:11pt;text-align:justify;color:#000000;direction:ltr;font-size:11pt;margin:0;font-family:"Arial";padding:0"><span></span></p><p style="height:11pt;text-align:justify;color:#000000;direction:ltr;font-size:11pt;margin:0;font-family:"Arial";padding:0"><span></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;color:#000000;direction:ltr;font-size:11pt;margin:0;font-family:"Arial";padding:0"><span style="text-decoration:underline;font-weight:bold">BOARD</span></p><p style="height:11pt;text-align:justify;color:#000000;direction:ltr;font-size:11pt;margin:0;font-family:"Arial";padding:0"><span></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;color:#000000;direction:ltr;font-size:11pt;margin:0;font-family:"Arial";padding:0"><span>First of all: please check for IMPLEMENTABILITY</span></p><p style="height:11pt;text-align:justify;color:#000000;direction:ltr;font-size:11pt;margin:0;font-family:"Arial";padding:0"><span></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;color:#000000;direction:ltr;font-size:11pt;margin:0;font-family:"Arial";padding:0"><span style="font-weight:bold">#1 On the target: the individual Board members vs. the Board as a whole</span></p><p style="height:11pt;text-align:justify;color:#000000;direction:ltr;font-size:11pt;margin:0;font-family:"Arial";padding:0"><span style="font-weight:bold"></span></p><ul class="lst-kix_5iz5cwws06ep-0 start" style="margin:0;padding:0"><li style="margin-right:0;text-align:justify;color:#000000;direction:ltr;font-size:11pt;margin-left:36pt;margin-bottom:0;font-family:"Arial";margin-top:0;padding:0"><span>if individual => NomCom issue.
