ICANN should not fund such as the ALAC members should be able to "pass the hat" as it were to fund any and all Summit participants whom wish to attend, to do so. If done, such would show in and of itself, the viability of the ALAC accordingly.

This is absolute hogwash. The members of ALSs were not brought here, in many cases actively solicited, because of their fundraising skills. To suggest that the viability (let alone success) of ALAC is to be judged on its ability to self-finance is to grotesquely miss the point of why it exists in the first place. But you certainly wouldn't be the first person to do that... - Evan
