<b>On Behalf Of </b>William Drake<br>
</span><b><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Palatino","serif"">I therefore would like to formally propose that the NCUC EC approve an expenditure of $2,000 for this purpose. If people could respond yea or nay ASAP that'd help as I've promised
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"><u></u><u></u></span></b></p>

</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>It's already taken on momentum of it's own, other people are expecting us to go forward, of course we move forward with it.</div><div><br></div><div>I'd prefer outreach with local CS than, as I understand it, with students. I had understood, as a result of the meeting Carlos, Bill, Tapani and myself had in Beijing, we weren't doing major events in Durban. Apparently I misunderstood.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Anyway, I hope in Buenos Aires we can, as I quickly proposed in Beijing, have a pragmatic, structured planned approach to outreach featuring the University programming effort , a reception for local civil society in city centre and whatever programming you'd like to do on site.</div>
<div><br></div><div>As for Durban, can we please get a banner? A simple one with our logo, name. Can we arrange a viewing of our film? If we're buying people food I want them to know who is paying for it. I just remember giving people alcohol in Beijing, lots of noise and poor Robin trying to scream our name. We can do better.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Palatino","serif"">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.<u></u><u></u></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.</span></i></b></p></div></div></div>
</div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>That's great news Milton. As long as people don't need 5* hotels I can get 3 people most places and house them for that amount of money. Certainly 2. Durban not included.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Bill, as you are aware I had some ideas about trying to remove ICANN from controlling certain aspects of our travel. You've been asking for a travel policy for months. Milton is telling us we have funds.:</div>
<div><br></div><div>Is it possible to reserve some time at the NCUC Meeting in Durban to discuss our travel policy, even start to create one?</div><div><br></div><div>Ed</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>
