[NCSG-FC] Acknowledgement, thanks and request

[Sam Lanfranco]

Ed, I think that this is a good and wise suggestion. As a prior step to 
such a meeting it is important that we, the NCSG Finance Committee, have 
some historical record of NCSG accounts for the past several years. I 
for one am completely in the dark as to what funds there are, where they 
come from, who administers them, and where to find the reports of 
transactions for the past two or three years.

I would find it embarrassing to have a meeting with Xavier where we put 
a request on the table to insure that "the NCSG and its Constituencies 
receive fair and equivalent financial support from ICANN" but were 
unable to say what we have had in the past, how it was spent, and how it 
is administered.
