There are some dependencies with what the Board decides to do as part of
the GNSO review, but having said that - I suggest the registrars
constituency work with the other GNSO constituencies to put up a
concrete proposal for constituency support as input into the 1 July 2008
- 30 June 2009 budget process.   It would be best if this request comes
before the end of this calendar year to allow appropriate time for staff
to incorporate into next year's budget.
