[council] BC Travel support Cairo

["Philip Sheppard" <philip.sheppard@xxxxxx>]

The BC formally protests the present ICANN travel policy as inadequate for the 
needs of the
GNSO.
The notification below of our needs for Cairo in the format requested by the 
ICANN chair for
pragmatic interim purposes should not be construed in any way as support tacit 
or otherwise.
-----------------------------
The BC needs for travel support for Cairo are:
1. Mike Rodenbaugh.
 
2. Zahid Jamil who writes: 
"I will be unable to attend Cairo without support for air fare and hotel since 
the
organisation I represent is a very small entity, without any available funding."
 
3. Philip Sheppard who writes:
"I request travel support in my representative capacity on behalf of commercial 
users who
are affected by ICANN policies. While my association is willing to donate my 
time it is
profoundly unreasonable to expect it to also fund out of pocket travel costs 
for work that
is fundamental to ICANN when ICANN's budget is in excess of USD 60 million".
