productive contributors to ICANN activities and how do you prioritize who receives funding; does continued funding of the ‘usual suspects’ over an extended period lessen the opportunity for bringing in newcomers and new ideas for dealing with issues; would
these volunteers be just as productive contributing via remote participation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
