  Yep!  This has been one of the ICANN's BoD and staff problems from
the nearly the beginning.  So, it is understood that you or anyone will
have big problems getting donations or sponsorship funds for any
ICANN related SO, Constituency or association.

  I would try to market only the GA separately and highlight it's members.
I would ask the GA members to pitch in a few bucks outright as an incentive
for other outside of the DNSO GA interested parties.

  No your not.  The ICANN BOD and staff has made it nearly impossible
for the DNSO GA to acquire it's own funding.  And as such they have
made it nearly impossible for future funding that the GA could engage
in to benefit the whole of ICANN.  I find that astounding and deplorable
to say the least.

  Well they are not dead yet.  But the effort(s) are suffering from the
ICANN BoD and staff's inane attitude
