It's bad to speculate about the end of such a election now. Every number can
go up or down(!) in the next days.

As said in an interview yesterday and at debate today:
  - It's very possible that ICANN pays the necessary expenses.
  - Otherwise I do expect that national govenments provide money.
  - It this is not the case (they already discuss about how to do this
    for a candidate, but they can't throw it away if another one wins)
    there are commercial companies which already provided money for there
    candidates (I personally askes some leaders I know) which can be tranfered
    to a union like Fitug in order to gain the necessary independence.
  - I can't imagine a situation where an European director has to stay at
    home solely because there is no money to travel. The world would laught.
