  Item 8: Any other business

Bruce Tonkin stated that ICANN was requesting what should be done with
the money collected by the constituencies for use by the Names Council
that was currently in a separate account but managed by ICANN.
The general discussion was consistent with a previous Council motion

on the topic that the funds should remain with ICANN as a contingency
fund for the GNSO Council.
