So, do Civil Society folk have the ability to work on-line and get things done? I see plenty of evidence elsewhere that they can...
Logic 101: The fact that "some can" does not equate to "all do". In any case, lumping in At-Large as "Civil Society" has its own set of flawed logical baggage...
I don't support spending money on those who during most of the year have nothing to say, who won't work in an on-line environment to get things done, and who seem to think that ICANN owes them travel funding just so that they can get together for a few days three times a year, pontificate and come up with "Me Too" Statements.
How utterly condescending.
In a statement posted by the registrar's constituency yesterday to the Budget Forum the question is asked: "How can you justify that the support for certain groups is disproportional with their contributions?"
Apparently, I'm not the only one that holds such views.
Yes, Danny, your view echoes that of the registar's community -- one that stands to benefit the most from silencing public pushback on what it has extracted from ICANN -- very well. Congratulations. Good company you're keeping. - Evan
