   Board of Directors. ICANN's Board of Directors currently consists of ten
   individuals, and will be expanding in the very near future to nineteen.
   Though unpaid volunteers, future Directors will be entitled to
   reimbursement of their ICANN-related expenses, such as travel, lodging,
   and other costs related to attending ICANN meetings.[8] Board expenses
   also include the costs of teleconferences, written briefing materials,
   and staff support.

   Q. Will ICANN reimburse expenses for participants in advisory committees,
   including the Membership Advisory Committee?
     
   A.  Pending the identification of an ICANN funding mechanism and the
   actual receipt of funds, ICANN's resources to support meeting and travel
   expenses of its committees is very limited.  We ask that committee
   members assist us by assuming personal responsibility for their travel
   expenses, if possible.  ICANN will consider reimbursing reasonable
   expenses, but since we have no money yet, we cannot guarantee complete
   reimbursement.  To reduce travel costs, committees will conduct much of
   their business via phone and the Internet, and ICANN will facilitate
   phone participation in face-to-face meetings as necessary.
   
   For those committee participants for whom self-funding is impossible,
   ICANN will make every effort to either provide funding or assist
   participants in identifying outside funding sources.

   The numbers mentioned here are the same as in the bliley-response.
   And this is the current budget!
