I think his point is that the constituencies that make up GNSO -- most
of which already have financial motivations to be involved -- are
whining that they want a piece of the travel pie. After all, if RALO
chairs and secretariats qualify for funding, certainly the International
Chamber of Commerce deserves funding too; it's only fair.
