Dominik and all,

  The GA is never going to be funded by ICANN.  The GA, needs to be, or
rather become financially independant and provide for it's own funding
for travel for it's members when and if appropriate.  Junkets like
Delhi, would likely not qualify reasonably for any future funding the GA
may, but not likely garner.
