Re: "they are the same ones who want to lower the costs of participation of Internet users in ICANN!" I share your outrage. This year ICANN will take in seven million dollars more than last year (not counting the new gTLD fees). ICANN will also maintain an investment reserve fund of about $28.0 million. Yet for some reason, ICANN management won't agree to fully fund the travel expenses of ICANN volunteers. Gosh, they might have to spend another $175,000 if they fully funded the GNSO Councilors.
