Thanks Chris and others for all the hard work on this. I am in agreement except as to one point, which has been a point of contention within the BC in the past. I suggest a change to the section re GNSO Travel funding. Specifically I would replace that section: We support the present approach whereby the chairs of the Constituencies/SGs authorize the funding to the 2 reps per entity. While this usually does end up supporting councilors, the flexibility to its allocation is important and has been of benefit when a councilor cant travel, or when it is possible to spread the funding across multiple attendees. Such flexibility by ICANN is an improvement over a rigid process and we want to comment ICANN for this improvement. Also, the number of members info at the end of the document appears erroneous.
