welcomes the fact that ICANN have allocated some funds for GNSO
travel.<BR><BR>1. Council regrets that the current proposal imposes
administrative difficulty and may thus reduce the total budget
available.<BR><BR><STRONG>2. Council calls upon ICANN staff to nominate by 15
January 2009 a fixed sum for fiscal year 2009 that will be granted to each
of the constituencies currently recognised under the ICANN by-laws of 29 May
