RE: [ga] Consensus & Names Council Task Forces

["McMeikan, Andrew" <McMeikanA@logica.com>]

If any individual feels that they wish to contribute or put some money in
'the hat' to be used by an Individuals Constituancy, here is where the hat
is
http://www.e-gold.com/pub-bal.asp?pubid=313216

to put your bit in http://two-cents-worth.com/?313216&EG

If your dying to show support and for whatever reason don't use e-gold then
paypal to me at andrewm@engineer.com and once cleared I will put it in
(minus paypals cut).

While I don't think that Individuals should have to cough up lots of money
to have a voice, I think that having a slush fund to get that voice heard
better is a good idea.

I think that a similar fund for the GA should exist, but thats better left
to someone else as I have a very strong individualistic bias ;)

	cya,	Andrew...

No pay, no play, eh?
This ticket price could be raised from the Markle Foundation that has a 
program of promoting democratic decisionmaking in ICANN in place.
The pump of democracy needs to be primed first. ICANN is well aware of that.

When members see that they are actually being listened to in the new DNSO 
structure, they know that they *are* getting something for a membership 
fee: results.
