[At-Large] Grant Funding to Support ALS Activities

[Danny Younger]

Cheryl,

The info below appeared on a slide entitled "Why
Become an ALS?" presented by Bilal Beiram at the 
Dubai Regional session --
http://public.icann.org/files/Bilal_Dubai08_Presentation.pdf

• Representation in ICANN at the regional and
international level, plus your group's members
will be eligible to serve on important regional and
international decision-making bodies in ICANN;
• A free web page and other Internet-based
mechanisms to support your group's work;
• Opportunities for grant funding to support some
of your group's activities (ALAC is applying for
grant funding).

Is the ALAC really trying to recruit ALSs by pitching
the possibility of grant funding for ALS projects? 
This strikes me as a rather deceptive and unethical
recruiting practice... 

 To whom has the ALAC applied for grant monies?
Has a grant application or disbursement policy been
created?  Is there something here that I'm
misunderstanding? 

regards,
Danny
