<p>Aha.</p>
<p>Many organizations that might conceivably want or feel entitled
to launch an objection are underfunded. Should ICANN therefore
fund any organization without money "commensurate with the number
of applications received"? <br>
</p>
<p>Unless ALAC is granted a special objector role, funding should
not be contemplated. ALAC can voice the concerns of the internet
users without raising a formal objection. Or it could raise the
money required from its constituents or others that share its
concerns. Just like anyone else. <br>
