In light of the bylaws initiative and not having heard a competing rationale for anyone else I propose that we notify Glen that the covered travelers will be Ed and Tapani (who's boot up messages to ncuc-discuss are forthcoming).  We can look later at what can be done otherwise with NCUC funds but we should make up our minds and notify, we are already late.  If someone has a counter view please lay it out quickly and let's get this done, as we are also asking for staff help on other fronts.

Glen has gotten us a room for Friday, it will be a ‘board room’ for 10-15 people and we will have a telephone connect for remote, plus Adobe Connect room:
https://icann.adobeconnect.com/_a819976787/ncsg/ and there will be a recording and transcription.  So we don't absolutely need everyone to be physically there, just those most directly involved in drafting and redrafting.  Others can dial in.

She thinks this will be hard, but again, if we have like ten members there to do the thing and the hotel is a couple hundred NCUC should be able to swing this if need be.

Thoughts?
