RE: [council] Travel support needed for Sydney

["Rosette, Kristina" <krosette@xxxxxxx>]

The IPC intends to use the 3.5 travel supported slots, and may wish to
have additional support to facilitate presentations and discussion on
the IRT output.  We support the use of residual DNSO funds.
 
As to the type of assistance being requested, the IPC probably will not
be able to provide that information by 27 March.  We have raised with
ICANN staff the structural difficulty that the IPC will have in
identifying travel support recipients by 6 April, namely, that the IPC
amended its by-laws to have elections 30 days before the new Council is
seated, that those elections have not occurred yet, and that they will
not occur before April 6.  We have not yet received a response from
ICANN staff as to whether there is any workaround to the April 6
deadline given our structural problem.

        Hi,
        
        The Travel Drafting Team would like to make its recommendations
for allocation of the GNSO reserved funds as soon as possible. 
        
        To assist us in that task please review the list below regarding
ICANN provided travel funding left for Sydney. 
        
        Does your constituency request travel assistance beyond that or
will not need assistance? 
        
        If assistance is needed, please let us know the number of
travelers and type of assistance being requested (airfare, per diem, or
full). 
        
        If assistance is not needed please let us know.
        
        We would like this information as soon as possible, the best
would be by end of day Friday 27 March.
        
        ICANN provided travel funding left for this fiscal year (in
terms of
        full support slots):
        NCUC - 1
        ISPC - 1
        RyC - 4
        BC - 1
        RrC - 2
        IPC - 3.5
        
        Regards to all
