Re: [ga] Rights and responsibilities - Funding problems

Danny and all assembly members,

  Excellent suggestion here Danny.  However unless I am mistaken,
the ICANN BoD and staff view the DNSO as a supporting organization
as a source of additional funding.  I would also gander a guess that
because the ICANN BOD and staff do not have a specific consulting
contract with the DNSO or any of it's members/participants that
collecting on such an invoice would the problematic at best...
