Thanks, Sophia, for asking what I meant. 

 

I was thinking of the "short policy meetings" as like the D.C. meeting and
the upcoming European meeting, where the meeting is 2-3 days, versus a 5-7
day ICANN face to face meeting which takes place 3 X a year. 

However, Liz has done more work already, I think on this topic, so my 'back
of the envelop" ideas of estimates, may not be needed.

Marilyn,

 

Could you please describe what you mean by:

 

1- Short policy meetings.  What is included, air ticket, hotel & meal,
number of days etc..

2- Week long ICANN meeting FTF, the same.  
 

Note: I am hoping your budget estimates for the travel cost of an
international ticket /trip is different from local. If not please advise.   

 

Additionally, it is in any corporate travel policy, not sure have to ck
labor law, that anything over 6hrs s/b business class.  This should also be
consistent with current ICAAN travel policy.  Considering that we are not
paid, I assumed the existing travel policy of ICANN is fair/consistant with
that of most organization that actually are on paid travel. 

 

regards,

Sophia

Dear all, I believe that we need to give Kurt a rather firm estimate of
costs for travel for Councilors asap. If we 'ballpark' an estimate of $3,000

USD for short policy meetings, and $5,000 for the week long ICANN face to
face meetings, will that provide a firm enough estimate? I would also
propose that perhaps we plan to budget two policy development meetings face 
to face, outside of the three ICANN meetings.

I am happy to work with Glen on a straw proposal for the budget  if we can
get a general agreement for a "template" approach.  Perhaps Ken would also
be willing, as part of the Adm. Planning group to work on this?

Bruce, I fully endorse this proposal.
Its a significant step forward for a more professional organisation.
