Re: [council] Travel support draft text
Hi,
I believe the next step, once we have a document that is stable from
the drafting team and has all the edits people on the council want to
contribute, is to have a motion on making this the GNSO policy on
distributing the funds. I also think it would probably be good to get
constituency and public feedback on this motion and the document
before we vote.
We also need to make sure that we understand the conditions under
which the staff will allow the constituencies to:
The use of travel support funds is to be solely determined by each
constituency independently as it sees fit to most effectively
progress the work of the GNSO.
Ie. are we still under the all or nothing regime or has the staff
decided to allow room, expense and travel to be allocated separately
by the constituencies. I understand they have not accepted a proposal
to allow the funds to be allocated directly by the constituencies (or
do I misunderstand).
We also need to get this done soon, as the next meetings allocations
are fast approaching.

Phillip,
yo make a good suggestion.
I personally agree. If I do not hear any other comments I will rewrite
the draft document.
We should review this issue during our next conference call.

Olga, thanks for circulating this.
Seems fine.
On reporting I think we can be transparent without being bureaucratic
and burdensome on volunteers.
There is no merit in 15 Council members all writing a report saying "I
attended a Council meeting".
Moreover, I presume the system is that Constituencies nominate who
gets
the support but then the individual still needs to apply to ICANN
staff
for that support ?
If so staff is fully informed of who gets what and other staff is
fully
informed of who attended what.
Suggest the following instead:

--------------------
Transparency and Reporting:
ICANN staff will publish the names of all those who receive travel
support together with a list of the relevant meeting(s) for which the
support was given and which were attended by the support recipient.
