Re: [ga] FW: ICANN meeting in Montevideo

["pheather" <earl@pheather.com>]

I direct your attention to the conspicuously absent Peter de Blanc, and his 
post of Sunday the 19th which directed Joanna and other candidates as 
follows:

       ******************************************************

2. The candidates could seek travel funds from existing 
foundations that specialize in providing grants for this purpose. 
In fact some of these foundations are already providing travel 
grants to other persons involved in Internet process.

for example:
Center for Democracy and Technology:
http://www.cdt.org/mission/activities2000.shtml

Markle foundation: 
http://www.markle.org/gpi/_gpi_index.stm

The Benton Foundation:
http://www.benton.org/

And there are several others.

I fully expect any person seeking such assistance to organize 
their own financial support, and I am confident that the 
necessary sources of funds are out there. It is up to the 
candidate to identify the sources and to ask for the money. Or at 
least to recruit someone or some organization who supports that 
candidate's position and will do the fund-raising for them.

perhaps you might direct your comments to him rather than the innocent 
candidate
