ICANN meetings are meant to be open and accessible etc., etc., so there are funds available to help people attend.
But what happens when people abuse the system?
The ICANN Ombudsman issued a report about one such attempted abuse and it is abundantly clear that people “trying it on” will not get away with it.
ICANN is an international “not for profit”. How someone can think of trying to rip the organisation off for a few hundred dollars is disgraceful (though I’d love to know how much the Ombudsman’s decision cost – was it more than the amount of money in question? I suspect it was… )
And mostly you would expect him to spell “Proprietary” correctly 😉
