hi all, i just submitted this PERSONAL comment on the budget to ICANN, in order to give the Budget folks time to think about them prior to a budget-review call which is coming up later this week. we, the ISPCP may want to make a comment as well, once we've heard what the budget staff have to say. i've highlighted some broad strategic issues, in addition to some nitpicking -- including what i think is a $4million arithmetic error in their projections. mikey PHONE: 651-647-6109, FAX: 866-280-2356, WEB: www.haven2.com, HANDLE: OConnorStP (ID for Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.)
