On the issue of funding, I would rather see ICANN follow Nominet's lead and
create a Foundation with a clear set of goals, with transparency in the
setting and monitoring of those goals, which could provide per-project
funding for important goals, which might include improving engagement in
ICANN by under-represented groups in relevant SGs. That way just buljking up
the numbers wouldn't be the point, but a clear goal of, for example,
increasing participation by developing country organisations both commercial
and non-comercial, would be a suitable proposal but just adding yet more
trademark holders from the US wouldn't be.
