[NCUC-EC] Approval of NCUC Travel Support for CCWG @ Paris

[Edward Morris]

I echo James comments.

I want everyone to know that I've spoken to David Olive and have encouraged consideration of changes  to ICANN's travel support policy. I've been told that a proposal for change will be forthcoming. We have members of the CCWG with attendance records of under 15% receiving full ICANN support while others with 90% + attendance records, including leaders of some subgroups, receive no support. That just isn't right.

The next major project, that based on the EWG, is scheduled to have a number of F2F meetings. I will not vote on Council to proceed with the project until this funding inequity is addressed. 

In the interim, thanks so much for your support.

Having heard back publicly or privately from all but one member, I think it’s safe to say that the EC has approved travel support for your participation as per the policy,

If the actual cost of these items is greater than $1,000 the member will be responsible for the difference. NCUC cannot provide a per diem or cover other expenses.
