her an answer. I propose we again follow the model of 24 hours no dissent motion passed, if questions or dissent then discuss…</span></b><b><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Palatino","serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Palatino","serif";color:black">I imagine we're talking potentially a couple thousand dollars for these two hotel items. Given that we have spent no NCUC funds on travel support and according to
the bank info Milton supplied at the beginning of the year, last year's EC spent $10,000 on travel support, our total Durban outlay should be quite reasonable, consistent with past practice, and manageable in relation to our assets.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

ICANN. However, I think it makes sense to budget a modest amount such as $5000 per meeting for any additional travel support for people who will be active contributors and really need it.
