<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Thanks for your email. I don’t
really follow the logic, however, to ask ICANN to fund Nom-Committee appointee
attendance. This is an important meeting; else I wouldn’t be spending so
much time trying to organize it; however it isn’t an official Council
meeting. Many councilors can’t attend in person, and for many, it is a
budget issue. We aren’t asking ICANN to fund their travel. Nor should we.
<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>The situation would be different, in my
view, if ICANN had been able to schedule a consultation which the Council was
invited to participate in, such as we have suggested for the going forward
approach. I’ve suggested, and on eof my official interventions at the
meeting will be to recommend a full day consultation with the elected/appointed
reps to the SO’s at probably the mid-year meetings of ICANN. Thus the
travel support already provided will ensure that the Nominating Committee reps
can attend. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>In any case, I can’t support your
suggestion for seeking ICANN funding, Alick. However, I’m not sure it is
an issue regarding participation. Several Councilors can’t attend in
person; and we are working on dial in to allow councilors who can’t
attend in person to participate remotely. I hope you will be able to dial in
and plan to participate, along with your fellow Nominating Committee reps. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

outlines the strategic directions for ICANN for a three year period. Like all
strategy documents, it needs to be analyzed and understood in conjunction with
other relevant documents, such as the ICANN budget. It provides insight into
changes in ICANN’s scope, scale, funding base, and activities. It helps
to position ICANN for a post-WSIS and post-MOU world with an increased
budget, regional offices, an extensive workshop initiative, and outreach
activities to developing countries. Other changes include a proposed shift of
funding from reliance on registrars as the primary aggregators of funds to a
more centralized collection via the registries, with an increase in the amount
of money collected per domain name, in order to provide a stable foundation for
ICANN. </span></font><font size=2><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
