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

[James Gannon]

+1 Ed its unfortunate that we have to reach out to NCUC to assist us with this but with the criticality of this work in shaping ICANN for the future I hope its funds well used.
For issues of high importance having F2F we should definitely be encouraging a more open travel support policy from ICANN. Much appreciate Ed that you seem to be hot on that topic already great work!

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.

Dear Ed and James,

I know you are eager for word on whether to proceed with flight and hotel bookings for the CCWG meeting in Paris on 17-18 July.  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,

A member may receive support of up to US $1,000. Covered travel costs include conference-related airfare, visas or related fees, lodging, and airport taxis. 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.

So please go ahead, and just submit your receipts to Milton upon return.

Thanks for helping to represent NCUC :-)

Bill
