comments. I doubt that many Councilors outside of the NomComm (who have
their expenses paid) and the Registries and Registrars (who have ICANN issues
central to their businesses) would be able to make the trips to Delhi or Africa.

of scale. I am among the many who will not be able to attend unless
travel cost is covered and this is too important a meeting to miss out on.
