[ncdnhc-discuss] Payment

[KathrynKL at aol.com]

This payment situation is troubling.  The intent was never, of course, to 
make anyone pay for banking transfers, wire transfers, etc (with their 
overhead of $50-$75).   I have checked with ACM, which provides discounted 
fees to members in developing countries, and most people use credit cards.

We now have representatives from many countries attending our NCC and the 
ICANN meetings worldwide.  I assume that everyone is using credit cards for 
the airline tickets, hotel payments, etc.  Is it possible for an individual 
member to receive the $25. in local funds, and then go ahead and pay the fee 
on a personal credit card?  Another option might be travelers checks in US 
currency.  Possible? 

Since everyone seems to believe that the $25.00 is doable, then this is a 
logistical problem I am sure we can solve.
