There's a PIR advisory council meeting this weekend. The advisory
council has been very positive about supporting the NCUC, but will no
doubt ask for details of what's needed.

It would be helpful if you could tell the advisory council what the
constituency's financial needs are: a start would information about
the current financial situation (how much, when, from who, how used),
outline anticipated expenses, how the constituency would like to use
funds PIR could provide, etc. Perhaps short term (e.g. make sure
names council reps can get to this year's remaining ICANN meetings)
and longer term about self-sustainablity?

Harold, you'll find some notes about this in the PIR mailing list
archive, around January 12/13 this year.

Thanks,

Adam
