Hi colleagues:<div>Yes, as I expected, t<span class="Apple-style-span" style>his request has been turned down.

I would not argue for remuneration for volunteers as that would be non-sensical.<span></span></span></div>

Hi,<br><br>
As I understand it, it is still a request.<br>
<br>
Other than the president and board members (which I am still against), I have not heard of anyone else getting paid for their volunteer work.<br>
Not SO/AC chairs<br>
Not SG/RALO chairs<br>
Not C/ALS chairs<br>
Not even Nomcom chairs.<br>
<br>
But if NPOC can convince ICANN this is the right thing to do, I think that all those who hold functions will be able to ask for the same considerations.<br>
Of course those in the contracted parties will probably refuse it, but sure would help a lot of people to get remunerated.<br>
<br>
And since the Board has given it themselves, they might as well consider it for everyone.<br>
<br>
