At one point some of us tried to use the .org redelegation to help fund the IETF. [1] We didn't win but the ISOC's bid did win. Did the ISOC make the same commitment, could they divert some funding from .org domain registrations to support the IETF? It only seems like the right thing to do, at least it did to those of us who worked on the bid [2] So, couldn't the ISOC make the same commitment fund the IETF and IAB? -rick [1] http://trusted.resource.org/Support/ISOC/intent_to_donate.pdf [2] http://trusted.resource.org/
