[NCUC-EC] Policy support Budget request due tomorrow?

[Edward Morris]

We currently have a deferred request for $2,000 for printed materials from
the Fast Track process. We also appear to be asking for staff assistance
during the last quarter of this year on this matter.

I know Bill has been actively communicating with ICANN staff regarding this
request. The $2,000 was initially a request for one quarter of the year. Is
that the amount we wish to stick with for all of FY14?
