> Exactly.  ICANN is covering the ticket because it is the same price as flying me to Brussels.  The hotel is the Danubius grand hotel Margitsziget, and it is actually 115 Euros, so 4 nights is 460 Euros.  The meeting runs from Sunday night to Tuesday afternoon, and I arrive in Budapest Sunday morning.  Then I am taking the train across country to Prague, where I fly on a cheap ticket to Brussels.  I am happy to pay for my trip in between, but if the NCUC feels it could help cover the plane to Brussels from Prague, which I have not yet purchased but I understand is less than 200$ US (FCM is finding me cheapest flight and trains) that would be wonderful.

> The purpose of my going to this meeting is to follow up on the release of the IWGDPT ICANN paper released March 8, discuss the standards proposal which I mentioned at the last meeting and which has           been endorsed by the Canadian member of the committee, who is the standards rapporteur for ISO standards, and to find out what the Article 29 technical committee is telling ICANN about he ultimate solution for GDPR (if anything).  The Article 29 folks at the IWGDPT meeting usually go straight from this meeting to the Art 29 meeting.  I expect to find at least a couple of the technical cttee folks at this meeting, and if not, will try the Chair.

>> Can you clarify the ask - in terms of an exact quantum and dates? You're looking for 500 euros to cover hotels in Budapest from April 8th-12th, in order to attend the next           meeting of the Berlin group of data commissioners, which leads into the next Art. 29 working group meeting?

>>> I am pleased to report that I have managed to combine my covered trip to the RDS review team meeting in Brussels April 15-18, with the next meeting of the Berlin group (of data commissioners interested in telecom and IT issues, the ones who just released a paper on ICANN) in Budapest from April 9-11.  This is immediately prior to the meeting of the Art 29 working group, where Goran says a decision on ICANN advice will be taking.  I took the plunge to cover hotel and the trains between the two cities myself, as I had to book it and get accepted in the meeting on time.  If the NCUC could cover my hotel costs in Budapest, and any other portion of the travel expenses it could manage, I would greatly appreciate it.  I believe the expenses for the hotel in Budapest are 125 euros a night, for four nights.  (I have to kill time between meetings so stayed an extra night).

>>> I leave Saturday afternoon at 2 pm.  I am very sorry for the last minute notice, but as you know we have been super busy and i had a ton of backlogged work to do for the RDS review team as well.
