The apparent staff obsession to fund constituencies that don't need the subsidy, at the expense of those who do, is what I consider worrisome.
I don't see this as a staff push. My slightly uninvolved view is that this emanates mostly from the GNSO Council where constituency interests contend that their work is so important that they absolutely must have travel funding. Perhaps Alan could shed some better light on the issue, as I've not been directly involved in the Council for the better part of a year. /ross
