Hi,

Using the current level of support while working on longer term travel policy issues is exactly what I am hoping we can achieve with the procedure i suggested.

I.e.

For non NCA and non-chair  (as Chair is NCA, 10 support slots)

- every Constituency sends the GNSO email list a list with 0-3 names by Tuesday 26 August. [ a null list indicates that the constituency has decided not to request/support travel support for the Cairo meeting - this does _not_ affect their ability to participate in future support arrangements or in determining how the support will be distributed]

- the first name on each constituency list automatically has support for Cairo. By the Staff' SO travel policy this includes both ICANN arranged transportation and per-diem paid after a trip report has been received by the Staff - requirement added in the FAQ issued today.)

- For names 2 and 3 on the constituency provided lists, the council in a special meeting on 28 Aug, will determine how to fill any support slots that remain open after the first names (max of 6) have been accommodated.

- for names 2-3 on each of the constituency's lists, it is recommended that a sentence or two be included on the reason/need so that the council can take this into account in its considerations.

- As per the Staff SO travel policy, constituencies can place names of council members or other SO members on their list of candidates for support.

Additionally, NCAs should confirm that they plan to attend the meeting under the conditions defined in the Staff's rules.

In the meantime, individuals or a drafting team can begin work, in parallel and in a non-blocking manner, on a statement (or statements) reflecting GNSO and constituency concerns with the current volunteer travel policy as defined by the Staff.

thanks

a.

Certainly some Council members (myself
included) should find this funding assistance
to be a great relief!
