[ALAC] ICANN meeting on Fridays

[Alan Greenberg]

That is incorrect.

Following an ATRT recommendation, the Board 
approved compensation at it's Dec 8, 2011 meeting 
(http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-08dec11-en.htm#3). 
US$35,000 per Director plus $5,000 for being 
Chair of a Board Committee. There is a list of 
which Directors have chosen to accept the 
compensation and which refused at 
http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/ce/voting-list-14mar12-en.htm.
