Re: [ga] Funding of ICANN Board candidate travel expenses

[Joanna Lane <jo-uk@rcn.com>]

Peter,
We are in agreement, but it may be that over time, as outreach and online
participation improves, that the need to take the message physically to the
peoples of the world will not be so important. After all, there will always
be some parts of the world where political instability prevents us from
meeting in person, hence geographical diversity of physical meeting place
does help, but is no substitute for an outreach policy by other means.


Regards,

Joanna
