RE: [ga] ICANN reimburse $75,000 to GAC for GAC Secretariat

["Cade,Marilyn S - LGA" <mcade@att.com>]

Actually, Bret, I think it is easy to over react to this. it seems 
to me that the governments, like many others who contribute to ICANN
may need time to develop instruments in order to fund. Each of us is
probably familiar with what it would take from our government. Governments
also have funding cycles, approval processes, etc.  So, I'm taking 
a more pragmatic approach. And, I can still see it feasible to have
all secretariat services funded by ICANN's budget. 

However, I would expect that reasonable minds could disagree.

:-)

Marilyn, you don't think it the slightest bit odd that a group constituted
of dozens of representatives of world governments, who purport to speak on
behalf of those governments, can't fund its own secretarial activities, at
least through in-kind donations of time if not from money? I think this
speaks volumes about the legitimacy of the GAC.
