While I agree that it is reasonable to *demand* that ICANN *should*
provide, via such a foundation, the required financial resources for
appropriately reaching out to people in poor regions where asking
for a membership fee of any kind (and using the resulting financial
transtion as part of the voter registration mechanism) is not
appropriate, wouldn't it be pragmatic and more realistic to look
elsewhere for hunding, at least initially?

Greetings,
Norbert.
