Sorry, Kent, Danny does have it correct.

The Attorney's letter to the USG-IRS spells out the they are *dependent* on
ICANN, therefore they must be funded to to their work, attend BoD meetings
for presentations to the BoD.

If the ICANN Attorney's letter is not followed, it may be misrepenstaion to
the USG-IRS.

Sorry, that doesn't follow at all.  It is perfectly reasonable that an
internal committee of a nppbc should fund its own activities.

Nonsense.  The issues are completely orthogonal.
