I'm in general agreement with this. European travel to Buenos Aires will be
cheaper than African or Asian travel.

The UK tends to be cheaper than Finland, although departure cities and
times tend to play a role. Nothing we can't work around. Timing of
reimbursement may also be an issue but nothing we can't work with Milton on.

In terms of cost, from least to most expensive, it would be: 1. Ed, 2.
Tapani, 3. Zuan, 4. Wilson. Bill is actually cheapest but our Chair should
be an ICANN funded position.

That appears to be settled.

Tapani, ye expert on e-mail Meetings, should we be doing something formally
on these decisions?
