Bill, please read the petition before attempting to comment on it.
Again, the petition specifically excludes ITU-R, for exactly the reasons =

- 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?
