probably will not be able to provide that information by 27
March. We have raised with ICANN staff the structural difficulty
that the IPC will have in identifying travel support recipients
by 6 April, namely, that the IPC amended its by-laws to have elections 30
days before the new Council is seated, that those elections have not
occurred yet, and that they will not occur before April 6. We have
not yet received a response from ICANN staff as to whether there is any
workaround to the April 6 deadline given our structural
problem.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
