Marilia, per the instructions I sent on the mail list months ago, you’ll need to write an invoice and give it with a copy of your room reservation/payment to Milton for reimbursement. Hopefully you are not planning to stay at the Shangri La.<div><br></div><div>Brenden, with ICANN now covering you from the 22nd, I assume you just need the 20th and 21st from NCUC, right? </div><div><br></div><div>Ok, back to the conference bibliography et al.</div><div><br></div><div>Bill<br><div><br><div>Begin forwarded message:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);"><b>From: </b></span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica';">ICANN Constituency Travel <<a href="mailto:constituency-travel@icann.org">constituency-travel@icann.org</a>><br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);"><b>Subject: </b></span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica';"><b>Re: Hotel Reservations for NCUC Covered Travelers to Singapore</b><br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);"><b>Date: </b></span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica';">March 12, 2014 at 10:45:59 AM GMT+1<br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);"><b>To: </b></span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica';">William Drake <<a href="mailto:william.drake@uzh.ch">william.drake@uzh.ch</a>><br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);"><b>Cc: </b></span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica';">Glen de Saint Géry <<a href="mailto:Glen@icann.org">Glen@icann.org</a>>, ICANN Constituency Travel <<a href="mailto:constituency-travel@icann.org">constituency-travel@icann.org</a>><br></span></div><br><div>

Hi
<div><br></div><div>Thanks Joseph. Yes, the deal was that none of our other covered travelers needed the extra night, so I offered it to Marilia. I had assumed you could just make a one night reservation at her hotel on ICANN’s dime. If that’s administratively problematic,
my apologies. There could be another option. Brenden Kuerbis is our NomCom rep this year. ICANN is paying for his hotel from Sunday 23rd, but he needs to come early to attend NCUC’s conference, so we were going to pay his hotel out of our account the 19th,
20th, 21st. If it is easier for you because he’s a Nomcom covered traveler, you could cover his night of the 21st and then NCUC would take care of Marilia.</div><div><br></div><div>Up to you, whatever is easiest on you.</div><div><br></div><div>Best</div><div><br></div><div>Bill</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Mar 12, 2014, at 10:14 AM, ICANN Constituency Travel <<a href="mailto:constituency-travel@icann.org">constituency-travel@icann.org</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; font-size: 12px; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div><div>Hi Bill, </div><div><br></div><div>Clarified it and we’re all set to go!

Could you please? I’ve sent you twice the messages in which Rob reconfirmed the decision from Xavier’s shop to allocate budget support for 8 travel slots for an extra night of hotel, which we allocated as 5 for the people about and 3 for the people below.
I cannot understand why messages from Rob saying yes that is the deal are not sufficient for this purpose, he’s the contact on these issues. If you want me to drag Xavier into it I can, but it seems a bit silly to bug him with implementation details given
that he long ago made a determination of the issue and the info’s been passed down the chain. Is it that you don’t trust Rob’s messages, or what? It’s a little frustrating Joseph, I’m doing a million pro bono admin things for this meeting at the same time
I’m trying to teach at a university, and having to keep following up to reconfirm prior reconfirmations is just not a good use of my time.

Hi Joseph

And that we’ll be getting confirmation mails this week?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks much</div><div><br></div><div>Bill</div><div><br></div><div>PS: persons 5-7 below also hopefully coordinated...</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Feb 24, 2014, at 9:28 PM, William Drake <<a href="mailto:william.drake@uzh.ch">william.drake@uzh.ch</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><br><div><br><div><div>On Feb 16, 2014, at 1:57 AM, William Drake <<a href="mailto:william.drake@uzh.ch">william.drake@uzh.ch</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;">

<div><br></div><div>Hope everyone is doing well. We have yet to start on the travel for myself and the covered members of the NCUC Exec. Committee (and NCUC's conference program committee, for hotels). With the meeting just a month away and NCUC holding a pre-conference
