*I see an inconsistency in your comments  above Robin.. 

*you are not necessarily funding just Council Members :  (see below 
excerpt from ICANN Revised Travel Support Procedure dated 11 August)
   * While the calculation of travel support funding is based in part
     on the size of each council and its liaisons, *the SO can choose
     to support other constituency members based on what will best
     serve each SO's policy development work, e.g. working group
     members could be supported.*
   * In all cases, NomCom appointed members will be provided travel
     support, and at the same level as others receiving support
     (described in this travel procedure document).
   * Levels of travel support for each SO will be determined as follows:
   * ICANN will allocate sufficient funds so that the Chair, NomCom
     appointees, and half of the remaining counselors will receive
     travel support *(again, travel support could be used to support
     other-than-counselors) *
