I dare ICANN to run an experiment, to allow ICANN Board members, staff,
etc. to downgrade from business class to coach, and allow those who
downgrade to keep 1/3rd the difference in *cash*. Same for hotel
sharing. Report back to us how much money is saved. When something is
"free" (paid by someone else), there are no incentives to save money or
for accountability.
