You and Louis seem to be hinting rather strongly that a few of us are 
in the pay of some government, business or the "domain name milk 
cow".  It's a little insulting. But typical.

Could you tell us who supports your participation in IGF 
consultations, and IGF in Athens and Rio? How do you fund your many 
WSIS and IGF projects, websites etc?

With allegations being made it's worth stating:

My participation in IGF is supported by my employer, GLOCOM (non 
profit, university associated research institute) and from personal 
resources (I have occasionally covered my own travel and other 
expenses.) No government, business or Internet governance 
organization (e.g. ICANN, a ccTLD, domain name registry or registrar) 
provides financial or other support my participation in IGF.  I 
receive no personal consulting fees or other payments, cash or in 
kind, for any work I do regarding IGF.

Thanks,

Adam
