[ALSC-Forum] Re: [icann-alsg] ICANN Board resolution - funding At-large Project

[Esther Dyson]

Sure...

I am sending in the remainder of my $10K pledge ($9K), and Salesforce.com 
has already sent in $5K.  Keith Teare has pledged $7.5K from Realnames.... 
hey Keith - you can go ahead now!

Also, Tim Andrews of Warren Partners has pledged $1K...

and now we can start hunting for more!

Please send any contributions payable to the "ICANN At Large Project" to 
the ICANN Marina del Rey office, 4676 Admiralty Way, Suite 330
