For clarity on roles and responsibilities: Seun and Lori correctly indicated in their emails that Leon’s request represented a request for an exception to the travel policy (there is a travel policy which applies to both Staff and Constituent Travel, under Diane Schroeder’s responsibility). Such exception request seems to have received broad consensus of agreement from the CCWG, including its co-chairs (other than Leon). ICANN Staff (Diane Schroeder and I) were therefore considering Leon’s request approved by the CCWG co-chairs, thus considering it a formal request to ICANN Staff to determine whether an exception should be granted or not. This is simply because the authority to grant an exception to the travel policy (or any policy) lies with the owner of such policy, not with those to whom the policy applies (Staff and Community, including budget owners in both cases). Basically, budget ownership responsibility of travel costs does not include the authority to grant exception to the travel policy or to modify the policy. If Leon is invited by the Board, there is no need to even consider the request for exception, since Leon will travel in business class anyway. Thank you.

I would like to add that we did not intend to make this a big discussion, but as one of the co-chairs will benefit from this and since we now have control over the travel budget, we did want to make the question transparent to the group and ask for objections. Since Erika mentioned the possibility of funding for León as a Board member (which we will check), let me use this opportunity to congratulate León on his election. Well deserved! Thomas

Typically board members get invited immediately, once they are nominated, to board meetings (payed business class). Greetings, Erika
