AW: [registrars] REMINDER: Feedback Requested re ICANN Travel Support Policy


Jon,
 
I should have been more precise ;). What I meant was that until the GNSO
Reform has gone through we should stick with the established travel policy
that there is no ICANN funding for meetings execpt for Board and Nomcomm
Members. Once we have a better idea of the outcome of the GNSO reform we can
certainly reconsidere to change this.
 
Best,
 
tom

Tom:

 

ICANN has requested our comment on this travel issue, as it is trying to
determine how much to put in its upcoming budget for travel.  That will
happen regardless of the status of GNSO reform.  For purposes of this
exercise, we should just assume the status quo for the GNSO.  

 

Thanks.

 

Jon

I do not think that we should spent time to develop a travel support policy
if we do not even know what the outcome of the GNSO reform will be.

 

Best,

Policy

Hi everyone, just a friendly reminder to please send me your input and
feedback re ICANN's Travel Support Policy.  Here are some ideas to get your
gears turning.  

 

Should travel expenses be ICANN funded but constituency directed?  What
about ICANN's fiduciary controls?

 

Should travel support be proportional to a constituency's ICANN
contribution?  

 

What about needs based travel?  Or funding for people who have
non-financial, public interests in attending the meetings?  

 

As noted in my earlier e-mail request (below) there is a transcript from the
Delhi meeting where these questions came up.
(https://delhi.icann.org/files/Delhi-WS-TravelPolicy-13feb08.txt)  

 

 Please send your feedback by tomorrow.  No particular format necessary,
just share your thoughts.  Thank you!

Subject: Feedback Requested: ICANN Travel Support Policy

 

Greetings RC Members:

 

First up, I want to extend a warm and sincere thank you to all the RC
members who contributed feedback for our first Position Paper earlier this
month (re GNSO Reform).  We're putting the finishing touches on that Paper
now and it should be ready to circulate shortly. 

 

Today I'm writing you because I need your feedback about a new subject:
ICANN'S Travel Support Policy.  

 

Below is a short overview: 

 

"Explanation: ICANN is looking to create a documented, consistent policy
that makes it clear when, for whom, and how ICANN will provide travel
support for the wide range of volunteers who make ICANN's community-based
work possible. As ICANN becomes a more mature institution, it is important
that we determine the proper approach to participation and travel support,
and determine what is sustainable."

 

More information is available here:
http://www.icann.org/public_comment/#travel-policy

 

If you attended the recent Delhi meeting you might recall some live
discussion concerning the Travel Policy.  

 

A PowerPoint presentation from the Delhi meeting is available here:
https://delhi.icann.org/files/TravelSupportExpenseDiscussion_0208.pdf , and
a transcript of the session is available here:
https://delhi.icann.org/files/Delhi-WS-TravelPolicy-13feb08.txt.  Please
have a quick look at these docs for a full overview.  

 

ICANN has provided us with a 30 day comment period. The clock began running
last week, so please send me your comments as soon as possible.

 

To ensure that we meet ICANN's deadline for submitting our Position Paper,
please send me your comments before Friday, April 11.

 

Please e-mail your comments to: clarke.walton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx . Thank you!
