    Here's the crux of the problem:  The ICANN bylaws state that the Board
will "take final action on the [At-Large] study no later than the Annual
Meeting of the Corporation in 2001; and [c.] any actions taken by the Board
as a result of the study that require the selection of any "At Large"
Directors should be implemented on a schedule that will allow any new "At
Large" Directors to be seated no later than the conclusion of the Annual
Meeting of the Corporation in 2002."  (Remember that the terms of the
existing at-large directors expire in 2002.)  But here we see a budget,
running from July 1, 2001 to June 30, 2002, that includes *no* allowance for
any possible expenditures relating to an election, preparation of voter
lists, etc.  The result:  If the Committee should recommend that a new round
of elections should be held, and if the Board should adopt that
recommendation, it will be impossible for the corporation to move forward
with that course of action on the schedule that the by-laws require.
