asceticism and submit no less than six requests to ICANN for
budgetary support. This included two "fast track" applications
for this fiscal year and four regular cycle requests for the next
fiscal year. I'm very happy to report that the board has approved

budget-requests-fy14-22aug13-en.pdf ?we did better than some
other, more demanding constituencies, no names?) These included:<br>
