Darlene, I'm afraid there must be a misunderstanding here. I never said that there was 'plenty of money' to have two meetings at ICANN meetings for the same region back-to-back. I would never say that because it is absolutely not the case. Having a pre-meeting to form a RALO was something money was available for because every other region had had one or more meetings in order to form their RALOs. These are two entirely different things. There has not ever been money for a single region to have two GAs back-to-back. On 10 Jul 2007, at 13:42, Thompson, Darlene wrote:
Thank you for posting that, Nick,
I was just thinking about the telephone conference last night (in those wasted hours between 3 – 4:00 AM) and something hit me as not making a lot of sense. Prior to the San Juan meeting, when we were discussing having a pre-formation one-on-one meeting in Vancouver/ Yonkers/Montreal, we were told that there was plenty of money in the budget to do this and to still go to San Juan. Now we are being told that there isn’t money in the budget to have gone to San Juan and then do further needed outreach in LA. WTF? What happened to it? As we only have about a dozen ALSs in the entire region, I would think that outreach would be as important at this time as formation. It just really seems like now that we have formed, the plug is being pulled.
Or am I being paranoid?
