Where does the money go? The GAC shows up at the 3-4 meetings each year, deliberates a few issues, and goes home.
Even if the GAC funded its members' travel, the cost would probably not exceed $20k each meeting ($60k-$80k each year).
I wish we could see an accounting of the $3M expenses. I would bet that the money extends beyond GAC.
ICANN will not open its books to Karl Auerbach or anybody else because there are likely a lot of funny numbers written. The $3M GAC contribution has to be recorded somewhere.

That's US$ 1.5 million more or less, as the AU$2=US$1 more or less.
