Re: [council] Proposed approach to travel funding in the ICANN operating plan

Thanks Marilyn, you have clarified your intent.

I was not sure of the ICANN FTF meeting you mentioned were for the
international one we go to, as such the budget needs to consider that.  I am
sure it varies from location to location for both local/international and
putting a fixed estimate may not be the best way, hence, you said Liz is
working on it.
