Management of ICANN Travel Slots</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The EC reaffirmed its decisions taken on the list in March to formally follow the practice that had evolved ad hoc in recent years with respect the management of the three travel slots ICANN provides to the constituency per ICANN meeting. The first slot shall go to the Chair, who must run the Constituency Day meeting and any outreach or other constituency meetings, and represent NCUC in meetings with the SOACSGC chairs, the Board, etc. For the other two slots, the first priority shall remain supporting members who are actively engaged in important work that will take place at a given meeting, be it intra-constituency managerial work or external policy work. If slots remain after this organizational needs assessment, the support will rotated among elected (and as advisable, appointed) representatives so everyone gets a chance to participate and deepen their engagement. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">5.
