Re: [council] Revised Community Travel Support Procedure for FY09
I agree with Greg. What began as a process to ensure councilors could participate at council meetings has turned into something else entirely.

I believe the original intent was not to progress WG efforts, but rather to make sure that all stakeholders (constituencies) have an *equal* opportunity to participate. (I would think that a responsible WG chair should have been sure of his/her ability to participate *before* accepting the position.) Therefore, I am in favor of dividing the funding more or less equally among the consituencies and letting each decide how it can best support representation at ICANN meetings.
