Bill, please read the petition before attempting to comment on it. Again, the petition specifically excludes ITU-R, for exactly the reasons that you and I have both just cited. And if you think it's possible to fund by sector, you're not paying close enough attention, and haven't read the ITU budget documents I provided with the petition. - It's only possible for sector members to fund by sector. - This petition does not address sector members. - It's not possible for governments to fund by sector. - Money is fungible. So, here, have some rope: how would you fund by sector? -Bill
