Yes, there are NO  'projects' for which IGC requires funds. The Caucus
requires funds to fund co-ordinators to attend prelimiary meetings and
funds to support its nominees to attend MAG meetings. A little bit of
money to manage its website.

I recollect that there was a proposal the year before last year to
raise among its members about $30 - 50,000 to fund some basic
requirements. If the Caucus manages to raise as much from one or two
organizations and some of its members, it should be sufficient.
