<div>Welcome to where the action is…We had an ICANN budget call the other night. Initial presentation painfully snoozy but useful details in the follow up, please see the attached docs. Important points: 22 March deadline for Fast Track budget requests due</div>

Personally, I see no point in maintaining a principled asceticism that is not shared by or even known to anyone else. We will not be corrupted if we ask for a little support for e-platforms, admin, outreach, whatever, so hopefully we can start from a vision of where we'd like to be go and leverage opportunities accordingly.</div>
