Travel Support
25 March 2009
A public comment period has opened today for 30 days on the topic of travel 
support.
Last year, ICANN created travel procedures to clarify which members of the 
ICANN community were to receive travel support for that fiscal year (2009). At 
the same time, it was announced that they would be reviewed after the first 
year of use.
As well as that review commitment, ICANN has received diverse feedback from 
across the community for improving the procedures. That feedback covered a 
number of topics: level of support; what costs covered and did not cover (e.g. 
food, Internet access); booking travel; and visas, among others.
This comment period is intended to gather further feedback before revised 
procedures are introduced into the FY2010 budget for approval at the Sydney 
meeting in June.
A presentation on ICANN travel support was provided at the ICANN Mexico City 
meeting in which the purpose of the travel support and insights gathered from 
the current year's experiences were discussed. Links to the materials produced 
for that meeting and a transcript are provided below.
The public comment period will close on 24 April 2009. If you wish to send in a 
comment, email 
travel-support-2010@xxxxxxxxx<mailto:travel-support-2010@xxxxxxxxx>. All
