[At-Large] Grant Funding to Support ALS Activities

[Thompson, Darlene]

Well, for discussion purposes, I would think that it would have to be
individual ALSs applying/receiving the funding as they would probably be
incorporated bodies.

However, I agree with several statements put out there that it would be
rather a conflict of interest for ALSs to be funded by ICANN.  It was
just a rather odd thing that came out of Dubai.  I'm sure it was a
mistake.

That's the position - no funding from ICANN for ALS activities. Haven't 
seen a change in the bylaws indicating that ICANN will fund ALSes... and

I would strongly disagree with it were it suggested.
Have any of you seen any information from ALAC re applying for grant 
funding? There was some discussion a while ago as to the viability of so

doing  in some of the RALOs, but ALAC isn't a fiscal organisation to 
apply for grants - it would have to be ICANN applying, wouldn't it?
