Re: [council] Revised Community Travel Support Procedure for FY09
No one has said Councilors are more important.
It was my understanding that we weren't funding "people" per se, but
specific "roles" within the ICANN policy development process. If you
want to change it so we are funding the people that we think are
contributing the most, that is another story, and we can certainly
have that conversation. But we should be clear what we are doing -
right now it just looks like a "grab bag" has opened up.

I think we have to be careful about thinking of ourselves as more

devoting considerable time to GNSO work regardless whether they are
on the Council or not we should recognize that and help to meet
their travel needs if possible.

I agree with Greg. What began as a process to ensure councilors
could participate at council meetings has turned into something
else entirely.

Basically, I disagree with the notion that some of the travel
funding should be allocated to constituencies and some should be
earmarked to support WG chairs. 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.
