i do not think that we should adress this issue in the letter  
(disclosure: i am on the board of icommons) for the simple reason that  
this decision has been made and we are beyond the point that it can be  
changed. i agree with many of you here that the way the contribution  
by CC to icommons is structured is not the most obvious or elegant  
one, but in the end it does not really matter if icommmons pays a lup  
sum of USD xxxx to icommons or if that sum is expressed as xx * nomber  
of participants send to the summit by CCi. i do agree with you that  
there need to be clear and clean borders and i think that our letter  
underlines this.

best regards, paul
