Don't you think that $2,000,000 per year is enough ? Do you think that the ICANN Board members should each be budgeted $5,000,000 ? Is that too large a difference ? Could you set up lower cost offices in New York, by renting from an I* insider ? ...that would help to place the money in the "right" hands...
