Sorry to hear that the funding has not been granted, but let me suggest to 
keep your acceptance of the nomination, at least until we don't have a 
clearer picture of the timeframes.

It would be interesting though if we could use this chance to discuss the 
issue of funding of the GA Chair (or co-chair) to the ICANN meetings, as we 
cannot assume that the GA physical meetings could run chairless.
For instance, would it be reasonable to ask funding by the DNSO?
Of course, this cannot happen for Melbourne, but maybe if we start to 
scratch our heads now it can be done for Stockholm.

Incidentally, to have geographical diversity between chair and co-chair may 
ensure better coverage of geographically diverse meetings ;>)

Regards
Roberto
