[ALSC-Forum] Denise Michel's salary

[DannyYounger]

Denise,

Why are individuals such as Dan Halloran, Ellen Sondheim, Herbert Vitzthum, 
and Theresa Swinehart salaried by ICANN to function as liaisons to 
constituencies while the At-Large must rely on voluntary contributions to 
support a staff position?   Why is it that the new ICANN budget proposes 
setting aside $150,000 to pay for DNSO Secretariat services, while the 
At-Large gets nothing, and is told that it must be self-sufficient?  

Do you intend to fight for your own salary, or is this just a part-time gig?
More importantly, do you intend to fight for an At-Large that selects its 
full complement of nine directors, or will you be just another stooge telling 
us that the consensus view called for reducing the public representation 
element?
