Not exactly true... the ICANN Budget sets aside
$760,000 for the At-Large (sufficient for staff
support plus travel funds so that 35 people can attend
each and every ICANN session -- yes, ICANN shells out
the cash so that they can pretend to be the at-large).

A true At Large without funding cannot show up at the ICANN meetings either. Or maintain an up-to-date web site and do research, lobbying correspondence and outreach.


If constituency membership fees can't fund the representatives, then ICANN is the only source left.

Anyway, the point is moot. The ICANN Board is not likely to decide to fund what they can't control.
