[council] RE: ICANN Travel Support for 1 additional GNSO attendee to LA Meeting of CCWG - 25 & 26 September

["Jonathan Robinson" <jrobinson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

 

An update. I understand that there is more than one expression of interest
from GNSO participants in the CCWG.

 

It strikes me that we cannot evaluate these on subjective criteria e.g. a
motivation statement from the candidate.

 

One (and perhaps the only) objective criterion that we could apply is
participation in the CCWG to date. Logs of participation are recorded and so
we have the data.

I propose to the Council that we do this and use the data to make an
objective selection.

tability

 

Since the GNSO participant will necessarily be from only one SG or
Constituency, it seems reasonable to me that we impress on the selected
participant / attendee that they take a broad GNSO perspective during the
course of their participation in LA.

Further, that they remain receptive to input from other GNSO participants,
as far as possible.

 

Thanks,

 

Jonathan

Subject: ICANN Travel Support for 1 additional GNSO attendee to LA Meeting
of CCWG - 25 & 26 September

 

All,

 

ICANN has offered to support one traveller per chartering organisation in
addition to the currently sponsored travel slots (primarily for members of
the CCWG).

 

We do not have a simple process or mechanism to deal with this, especially
in such a tight time frame.

 

Currently, Carlos (a GNSO Council member and participant in the CCWG) has
volunteered to attend and take up this option. 

Accordingly, please be aware of this offer and communicate any objections or
concerns you may have.

 

Also, if you are aware of an active CCWG participant from within your SG who
could make effective (for the benefit of the GNSO) use of such funding,
please check their availability and make the name known.

 

If more than one candidate emerges, we may need to undertake some form of
vote.

 

Thanks

 

 

Jonathan
