  No objection

  Quoting Nick Ashton-Hart <nashton at spamcop.net>:

  > Dear Committee:
  >
  > I provide below the request for funding for the MemberClicks service by the
  > LAC Secretariat.
  >
  > The process requires my acknowledgment of the receipt of the request, which
  > has been sent; since the regional secretariat has made the request, the
  > request would now go to a funding decision from ICANN.
  >
  > It would seem to me that the need for a database for members is something
  > the entire community needs. This tool is English-only, which is a drawback,
  > but after looking I have found that all the MMSes (Membership Management
  > Systems) which are to be easily found are also English only.

  > I have made the point to the staff that what ICANN needs in the fullness of
