<font face="Verdana">linked below</font>. What has been said of
APNIC is just many more times truer of ICANN.... It is just that
ICANN supported and fed groups are simply not willing enough to
speak about the emperor's clothes. But the charade cannot go on
forever, and once it is behind us many involved people will look
really bad.<br>

You can Google "ICANN travel policy" for details.

<pre wrap="">Thanks - can you please elaborate on "no-strings attached travel funding to
participate in person" - and I would welcome to see whether or not this is a
general experience, for example for GNSO council members, chairs of official
ICANN working groups, and others of the "many thousands of people around the
world as the policy making community."

The simple tasks that is the mandate of the ICANN to perform can
be done at maybe 5 percent of ICANN's budget or at least revenue.
Mandate or IANA function? If the latter, you are correct.
ICANN is just highly puffed up for basically serving US's
geopolitical interests
ICANN is "puffed up" because it costs a lot of money to put on meetings 3x
per year in far flung locations around the world.
Without the need to develop policy using many thousands of people around
the world as the policy making community, they could do their job using far
fewer resources.
This spending is a feature, not a bug. It is a very useful feature for CS
folks who rely on the no-strings attached travel funding to participate in
person.
