Dear Thomas and Mathieu,
As the period to request travel support for our meeting in Johannesburg gets closer I would like to kindly ask for your consideration for an exception to our travel support rules given that traveling from Mexico to South Africa requires a double Intercontinental trip in any way I travel (either through Europe or South America).
Taking into account this situation and the fact that I will be chairing our face to face meeting just hours after I land in South Africa, I would kindly request that business class travel is authorized for this one time. Please feel free to share this request as widely as you consider for transparency purposes.
I thank your for your consideration in advance.

*Updated Process for Expressions of Interest requesting CCWG Travel Support (December 2016)*
The current budgeted amount to support the work of CCWG WS2 members allocates travel support (travel, hotel and per diem) for an amount equivalent to 20 appointed members or rapporteurs to attend only a CCWG face-to-face meeting. The Co-Chairs have the authority to re-allocate this amount – this could include supporting requests for partial funding to allow them to maximize the number of members attending (e.g. the requestor may ask for any or all of the following: airfare, and/or hotel and/or per diem) or to extend the stay of some key participants.
You are eligible for travel support from the CCWG if you are an officially appointed member of WS2 from a chartering SO or AC or if you are officially listed as a Rapporteur or Co-Rapporteur on the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Wiki located at https://community.icann.org/di splay/WEIA/WS2+-+Enhancing+ICANN+Accountability+Home .

Dear Co-Chairs, It seems that everybody agree for the upgrading to Business Class and one additional day of acco0mmodation for Leon. Pls kindly decide on the matter favorably and put an end to this string Regards Kavouss 2017-02-24 18:58 GMT+01:00 Greg Shatan <gregshatanipc@gmail.com>:
I would also note that this itinerary is an absolute minimum 20 hours gate-to-gate, and more likely 24 hours or so (which is close to 30 hours door-to-door) or even more....

Given that, as we all know, air travel is susceptible to unanticipated delays, if ICANN is going to incur the extra expense of business class perhaps it would be better for Leon to book an earlier flight itinerary. Even if it meant an extra night of accommodations, it would minimize the possibility of a flight delay that prevented Leon from chairing the meeting.

Dear Colleagues,
For transparency, please be aware of the below specific request by Leon Sanchez regarding travel funding for Johannesburg.
Considering the proposed arrangement and the fact that Leon will have to (co-)chair our F2F meeting on Day 1, we are prepared to grant the request, unless the group objects.
Thank you for your attention. Best Thomas & Mathieu Co-chairs
-----Message d'origine----- De : León Felipe Sánchez Ambía [mailto:leonfelipe@sanchez.mx <leonfelipe@sanchez.mx>] Envoyé : mercredi 15 février 2017 15:49 À : Thomas Rickert (thomas@rickert.net); Mathieu Weill Cc : Accountability Staff Objet : Request for travel exception
Dear Thomas and Mathieu,
As the period to request travel support for our meeting in Johannesburg gets closer I would like to kindly ask for your consideration for an exception to our travel support rules given that traveling from Mexico to South Africa requires a double Intercontinental trip in any way I travel (either through Europe or South America).
Taking into account this situation and the fact that I will be chairing our face to face meeting just hours after I land in South Africa, I would kindly request that business class travel is authorized for this one time. Please feel free to share this request as widely as you consider for transparency purposes.
I thank your for your consideration in advance.
Best regards,
León

The body of this email contains:
- The announcement for Travel Funding Applications for the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Face to Face at ICANN59 on 25 June 2017 - The CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Travel Funding Policy - The CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Travel Funding Application Form (Applications must be submitted by
23:59 UTC Sunday 19 March 2017)
All,
The CCWG-Accountability
-WS2
has travel funding for some Members and Rapporteurs to attend the Face to Face meetings held the day prior to an ICANN meeting who do not have any other funding available to them to attend.
Members are those individuals that are specifically appointed by the chartering SO/ACs to the CCWG-Accountability - the list of Members can be found at https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId= 59640780 .
Rapporteurs are those listed as such on the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Wiki for specific sub-groups located at https://community.icann.org/di splay/WEIA/WS2+SubGroup+Topics. Please see the attached policy for details regarding this funding.
If you are not a Member or a Rapporteur, please do not apply as there is a very limited number of seats available.
The next Face to Face meeting of the CCWG-accountability will be held on 25 June 2017 in conjunction with ICANN 59 in Johannesburg South Africa.
Those Members and Rapporteurs wishing to be considered for travel funding should fill out the attached form and submit it by
23:59 UTC Sunday 19 March 2017 to Acct-Staff@icann.org.
The funding is for the Face- to- Face meeting
of the CCWG-Accountability WS2
, which can include airfare, hotel and a per-diem allocation for meals for attending the Face to Face meeting only (and not the full ICANN meeting). However, in analyzing the requests the
CCWG-Accountability-WS2
Co-Chairs will consider requests for partial funding (such as only an additional day of hotel and per diem to attend the Face to Face meeting) in order to maximize participation. As such Members are encouraged to only apply for what they need to allow for funding as many Members and Rapporteurs as possible.
The final decisions on travel funding will be made by the
CCWG-Accountability-WS2
Co-Chairs and published on the CCWG-Accountability WS2 wiki at https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Travel+Support within 7 days of the application period closing (a confirmation of the posting will be sent to the CCWG email list).
Those being supported will then be contacted by ICANN Travel using the standard ICANN travel funding process to arrange details.
Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the CCWG-Accountability support staff at Acct-Staff@icann.org .

*Updated Process for Expressions of Interest requesting CCWG Travel Support (December 2016)*
The current budgeted amount to support the work of CCWG WS2 members allocates travel support (travel, hotel and per diem) for an amount equivalent to 20 appointed members or rapporteurs to attend only a CCWG face-to-face meeting. The Co-Chairs have the authority to re-allocate this amount – this could include supporting requests for partial funding to allow them to maximize the number of members attending (e.g. the requestor may ask for any or all of the following: airfare, and/or hotel and/or per diem) or to extend the stay of some key participants.
You are eligible for travel support from the CCWG if you are an officially appointed member of WS2 from a chartering SO or AC or if you are officially listed as a Rapporteur or Co-Rapporteur on the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Wiki located at https://community.icann.org/di splay/WEIA/WS2+-+Enhancing+ICANN+Accountability+Home .

CCWG-Accountability Rapporteurs
CCWG appointed Members and Rapporteurs requesting consideration by the Co-Chairs for travel support to attend a face-to-face meeting must complete and submit the travel request form by the stipulated deadline in order to be considered for funding.
NOTE: In evaluating the applications for travel funding the Co-Chairs will consider applicant's attendance to CCWG meetings and their contributions to the ongoing work as well as the availability of alternate funding to the applicant.
CCWG Staff support will send out an announcement regarding the application for travel support and deadline for application submissions as soon as a face-to-face meeting has been approved. Applications to request travel support are located at: https://community.icann.org/di splay/WEIA/Travel+Support
Completed forms can be sent to Acct-Staff@icann.org <Acct-Staff@icann.org> for submission to the Co-Chairs for review and approval.

Whilst I 100% agree with the previous contributors regarding the utility of the proposal (and hope this puts the tin lid on that discussion), and I also understand the reason that Leon put this out to the wider group, possibly to forestall any accusations of junketing, I am mildly uncomfortable with what seems to me to be a 'voting' mentaily on this. To my simplistic mind, ICANN is a business. (Specifically, a non-profit business). Where a particular expenditure advances the corporation's interests, it SHOULD be undertaken. Where it does not, not. In this case, I would have simply preferred Leon to obtain the agreement of the fund-holder or gate-keeper (the other co-chairs?) and use the facility to promote the work-to-be-done, without provoking this great chorus of metoos. The reason I say this, is that in the future, this procedure if it becomes de rigeur, might discourage participation whereby some people may be inhibited from asking for necessary facilities if it has to be 'approved' by every Member and Participant, or at least commented upon in the name of faux-transparency. Seriously, ICANN is a billion dollar business. Let's worry about doing the work, eh? Oh, yes, in case it wasn't clear. "I also agree with the proposed expenditure".

I definitely agree that business class is warranted in this case - having to chair a session after 24h+ travel in economy class sounds nightmarish. But I also see Nigel's point. Perhaps it'd be possible to come up with a rule, something along the lines that if the shortest available flight path for the chair of a meeting exceeds, say, 20 hours, it justifies business class flights.

To my simplistic mind, ICANN is a business. (Specifically, a non-profit business).
Where a particular expenditure advances the corporation's interests, it SHOULD be undertaken. Where it does not, not.
In this case, I would have simply preferred Leon to obtain the agreement of the fund-holder or gate-keeper (the other co-chairs?) and use the facility to promote the work-to-be-done, without provoking this great chorus of metoos.
The reason I say this, is that in the future, this procedure if it becomes de rigeur, might discourage participation whereby some people may be inhibited from asking for necessary facilities if it has to be 'approved' by every Member and Participant, or at least commented upon in the name of faux-transparency.
Seriously, ICANN is a billion dollar business.
Let's worry about doing the work, eh?
Oh, yes, in case it wasn't clear.

Given that, as we all know, air travel is susceptible to unanticipated delays, if ICANN is going to incur the extra expense of business class perhaps it would be better for Leon to book an earlier flight itinerary. Even if it meant an extra night of accommodations, it would minimize the possibility of a flight delay that prevented Leon from chairing the meeting.

Dear Colleagues,
For transparency, please be aware of the below specific request by Leon Sanchez regarding travel funding for Johannesburg.
Considering the proposed arrangement and the fact that Leon will have to (co-)chair our F2F meeting on Day 1, we are prepared to grant the request, unless the group objects.
Thank you for your attention. Best Thomas & Mathieu Co-chairs
-----Message d'origine----- De : León Felipe Sánchez Ambía [mailto:leonfelipe@sanchez.mx] Envoyé : mercredi 15 février 2017 15:49 À : Thomas Rickert (thomas@rickert.net <mailto:thomas@rickert.net>); Mathieu Weill Cc : Accountability Staff Objet : Request for travel exception
Dear Thomas and Mathieu,
As the period to request travel support for our meeting in Johannesburg gets closer I would like to kindly ask for your consideration for an exception to our travel support rules given that traveling from Mexico to South Africa requires a double Intercontinental trip in any way I travel (either through Europe or South America).
Taking into account this situation and the fact that I will be chairing our face to face meeting just hours after I land in South Africa, I would kindly request that business class travel is authorized for this one time. Please feel free to share this request as widely as you consider for transparency purposes.
I thank your for your consideration in advance.
Best regards,
León

The body of this email contains:
* The announcement for Travel Funding Applications for the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Face to Face at ICANN59 on 25 June 2017 * The CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Travel Funding Policy * The CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Travel Funding Application Form (Applications must be submitted by
23:59 UTC Sunday 19 March 2017)
All,
The CCWG-Accountability
-WS2
has travel funding for some Members and Rapporteurs to attend the Face to Face meetings held the day prior to an ICANN meeting who do not have any other funding available to them to attend.
Members are those individuals that are specifically appointed by the chartering SO/ACs to the CCWG-Accountability - the list of Members can be found at https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=59640780 .
Rapporteurs are those listed as such on the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Wiki for specific sub-groups located at https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/WS2+SubGroup+Topics. Please see the attached policy for details regarding this funding.
If you are not a Member or a Rapporteur, please do not apply as there is a very limited number of seats available.
The next Face to Face meeting of the CCWG-accountability will be held on 25 June 2017 in conjunction with ICANN 59 in Johannesburg South Africa.
Those Members and Rapporteurs wishing to be considered for travel funding should fill out the attached form and submit it by
23:59 UTC Sunday 19 March 2017 to Acct-Staff@icann.org <mailto:Acct-Staff@icann.org>.
The funding is for the Face- to- Face meeting
of the CCWG-Accountability WS2
, which can include airfare, hotel and a per-diem allocation for meals for attending the Face to Face meeting only (and not the full ICANN meeting). However, in analyzing the requests the
CCWG-Accountability-WS2
Co-Chairs will consider requests for partial funding (such as only an additional day of hotel and per diem to attend the Face to Face meeting) in order to maximize participation. As such Members are encouraged to only apply for what they need to allow for funding as many Members and Rapporteurs as possible.
The final decisions on travel funding will be made by the
CCWG-Accountability-WS2
Co-Chairs and published on the CCWG-Accountability WS2 wiki at https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Travel+Supportwithin 7 days of the application period closing (a confirmation of the posting will be sent to the CCWG email list).
Those being supported will then be contacted by ICANN Travel using the standard ICANN travel funding process to arrange details.
Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the CCWG-Accountability support staff at Acct-Staff@icann.org <mailto:Acct-Staff@icann.org>.

*Updated Process for Expressions of Interest requesting CCWG Travel Support (December 2016)*
The current budgeted amount to support the work of CCWG WS2 members allocates travel support (travel, hotel and per diem) for an amount equivalent to 20 appointed members or rapporteurs to attend only a CCWG face-to-face meeting. The Co-Chairs have the authority to re-allocate this amount – this could include supporting requests for partial funding to allow them to maximize the number of members attending (e.g. the requestor may ask for any or all of the following: airfare, and/or hotel and/or per diem) or to extend the stay of some key participants.
You are eligible for travel support from the CCWG if you are an officially appointed member of WS2 from a chartering SO or AC or if you are officially listed as a Rapporteur or Co-Rapporteur on the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Wiki located at https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/WS2+-+Enhancing+ICANN+Accountabilit....
Travel support arrangements will follow Constituency Travel Guidelines located at: https://community.icann.org/display/trvlconstit/Constituency+Travel+Home
The CCWG travel support slots will be allocated in priority as follows:
CCWG-Accountability Co-Chairs – 3 slots (or equivalent amount)
CCWG-Accountability Chartering Organization Appointed Members
CCWG-Accountability Rapporteurs
CCWG appointed Members and Rapporteurs requesting consideration by the Co-Chairs for travel support to attend a face-to-face meeting must complete and submit the travel request form by the stipulated deadline in order to be considered for funding.
NOTE: In evaluating the applications for travel funding the Co-Chairs will consider applicant's attendance to CCWG meetings and their contributions to the ongoing work as well as the availability of alternate funding to the applicant.
CCWG Staff support will send out an announcement regarding the application for travel support and deadline for application submissions as soon as a face-to-face meeting has been approved. Applications to request travel support are located at: https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Travel+Support
Completed forms can be sent to Acct-Staff@icann.org <mailto:Acct-Staff@icann.org>for submission to the Co-Chairs for review and approval.
All applicants for CCWG WS2 travel support will be posted on the CCWG WS2 wiki under Travel Support. Names will be listed REQUESTED and once approved will be listed as APPROVED for travel support including the type of support that is approved.
The Co-Chairs will review the applications received, including the requests for partial support, and determine the list of approved CCWG members who will receive travel funding.
The CCWG approved travel support list will be submitted to ICANN Constituency Travel for processing according to community travel guidelines.

Hello, As much as I like the idea, I would think setting/updating a/the travel policy globally would be more appropriate; this group is just one out of the many other current/future groups who may find themselves in similar situation.

Dear Co-Chairs,
The situation is fully understandable and seems no one object to the ligitiate and convincing request of Leon.

Dear Colleagues,
For transparency, please be aware of the below specific request by Leon Sanchez regarding travel funding for Johannesburg.
Considering the proposed arrangement and the fact that Leon will have to (co-)chair our F2F meeting on Day 1, we are prepared to grant the request, unless the group objects.
Thank you for your attention. Best Thomas & Mathieu Co-chairs
-----Message d'origine----- De : León Felipe Sánchez Ambía [mailto:leonfelipe@sanchez.mx] Envoyé : mercredi 15 février 2017 15:49 À : Thomas Rickert (thomas@rickert.net <mailto:thomas@rickert.net>); Mathieu Weill Cc : Accountability Staff Objet : Request for travel exception
Dear Thomas and Mathieu,
As the period to request travel support for our meeting in Johannesburg gets closer I would like to kindly ask for your consideration for an exception to our travel support rules given that traveling from Mexico to South Africa requires a double Intercontinental trip in any way I travel (either through Europe or South America).
Taking into account this situation and the fact that I will be chairing our face to face meeting just hours after I land in South Africa, I would kindly request that business class travel is authorized for this one time. Please feel free to share this request as widely as you consider for transparency purposes.
I thank your for your consideration in advance.
Best regards,
León

The body of this email contains:
* The announcement for Travel Funding Applications for the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Face to Face at ICANN59 on 25 June 2017 * The CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Travel Funding Policy * The CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Travel Funding Application Form (Applications must be submitted by
23:59 UTC Sunday 19 March 2017)
All,
The CCWG-Accountability
-WS2
has travel funding for some Members and Rapporteurs to attend the Face to Face meetings held the day prior to an ICANN meeting who do not have any other funding available to them to attend.
Members are those individuals that are specifically appointed by the chartering SO/ACs to the CCWG-Accountability - the list of Members can be found at https://community.icann.org/ pages/viewpage.action?pageId=59640780 .
Rapporteurs are those listed as such on the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Wiki for specific sub-groups located at https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/WS2+SubGroup+ Topics. Please see the attached policy for details regarding this funding.
If you are not a Member or a Rapporteur, please do not apply as there is a very limited number of seats available.
The next Face to Face meeting of the CCWG-accountability will be held on 25 June 2017 in conjunction with ICANN 59 in Johannesburg South Africa.
Those Members and Rapporteurs wishing to be considered for travel funding should fill out the attached form and submit it by
23:59 UTC Sunday 19 March 2017 to Acct-Staff@icann.org <mailto:Acct-Staff@icann.org>.
The funding is for the Face- to- Face meeting
of the CCWG-Accountability WS2
, which can include airfare, hotel and a per-diem allocation for meals for attending the Face to Face meeting only (and not the full ICANN meeting). However, in analyzing the requests the
CCWG-Accountability-WS2
Co-Chairs will consider requests for partial funding (such as only an additional day of hotel and per diem to attend the Face to Face meeting) in order to maximize participation. As such Members are encouraged to only apply for what they need to allow for funding as many Members and Rapporteurs as possible.
The final decisions on travel funding will be made by the
CCWG-Accountability-WS2
Co-Chairs and published on the CCWG-Accountability WS2 wiki at https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Travel+ Supportwithin 7 days of the application period closing (a confirmation of the posting will be sent to the CCWG email list).
Those being supported will then be contacted by ICANN Travel using the standard ICANN travel funding process to arrange details.
Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the CCWG-Accountability support staff at Acct-Staff@icann.org <mailto:Acct-Staff@icann.org>.

ICANN Staff Support to the CCWG-Accountability-WS2
*Updated Process for Expressions of Interest requesting CCWG Travel Support (December 2016)*
The current budgeted amount to support the work of CCWG WS2 members allocates travel support (travel, hotel and per diem) for an amount equivalent to 20 appointed members or rapporteurs to attend only a CCWG face-to-face meeting. The Co-Chairs have the authority to re-allocate this amount – this could include supporting requests for partial funding to allow them to maximize the number of members attending (e.g. the requestor may ask for any or all of the following: airfare, and/or hotel and/or per diem) or to extend the stay of some key participants.
You are eligible for travel support from the CCWG if you are an officially appointed member of WS2 from a chartering SO or AC or if you are officially listed as a Rapporteur or Co-Rapporteur on the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Wiki located at https://community.icann.org/ display/WEIA/WS2+-+Enhancing+ICANN+Accountability+Home.
Travel support arrangements will follow Constituency Travel Guidelines located at: https://community.icann.org/display/trvlconstit/ Constituency+Travel+Home
The CCWG travel support slots will be allocated in priority as follows:
CCWG-Accountability Co-Chairs – 3 slots (or equivalent amount)
CCWG-Accountability Chartering Organization Appointed Members
CCWG-Accountability Rapporteurs
CCWG appointed Members and Rapporteurs requesting consideration by the Co-Chairs for travel support to attend a face-to-face meeting must complete and submit the travel request form by the stipulated deadline in order to be considered for funding.
NOTE: In evaluating the applications for travel funding the Co-Chairs will consider applicant's attendance to CCWG meetings and their contributions to the ongoing work as well as the availability of alternate funding to the applicant.
CCWG Staff support will send out an announcement regarding the application for travel support and deadline for application submissions as soon as a face-to-face meeting has been approved. Applications to request travel support are located at: https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Travel+Support
Completed forms can be sent to Acct-Staff@icann.org <mailto:Acct-Staff@icann.org>for submission to the Co-Chairs for review and approval.
All applicants for CCWG WS2 travel support will be posted on the CCWG WS2 wiki under Travel Support. Names will be listed REQUESTED and once approved will be listed as APPROVED for travel support including the type of support that is approved.
The Co-Chairs will review the applications received, including the requests for partial support, and determine the list of approved CCWG members who will receive travel funding.
The CCWG approved travel support list will be submitted to ICANN Constituency Travel for processing according to community travel guidelines.
The approved list of funded CCWG members will be posted on the WS2 wiki at https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Travel+Suppor <https://community.icann.org/ display/WEIA/Travel+Support>_t_

No, no more rules or debates on the merits, please!! ICANN travel policy is flexible enough to cope already. This was a perfectly reasonable request, handled properly through existing procedures. We really don't all need to opine about a routine matter. On 27/02/17 11:10, Seun Ojedeji wrote:
Hello,
As much as I like the idea, I would think setting/updating a/the travel policy globally would be more appropriate; this group is just one out of the many other current/future groups who may find themselves in similar situation. Perhaps this can be a recommendation to the Board (or whoever is charge of ICANN travel policy)

I definitely agree that business class is warranted in this case - having to chair a session after 24h+ travel in economy class sounds nightmarish.
But I also see Nigel's point. Perhaps it'd be possible to come up with a rule, something along the lines that if the shortest available flight path for the chair of a meeting exceeds, say, 20 hours, it justifies business class flights.

FWIW, I was not commenting about the current case which is fine and also agree future scenario does not need to come to the list so long as its within scope of the ICANN travel policy. Regards On 27 Feb 2017 18:34, "Nigel Roberts" <nigel@channelisles.net> wrote:
No, no more rules or debates on the merits, please!!
ICANN travel policy is flexible enough to cope already.
This was a perfectly reasonable request, handled properly through existing procedures.
We really don't all need to opine about a routine matter.

Hello,
As much as I like the idea, I would think setting/updating a/the travel policy globally would be more appropriate; this group is just one out of the many other current/future groups who may find themselves in similar situation. Perhaps this can be a recommendation to the Board (or whoever is charge of ICANN travel policy)

I definitely agree that business class is warranted in this case - having to chair a session after 24h+ travel in economy class sounds nightmarish.
But I also see Nigel's point. Perhaps it'd be possible to come up with a rule, something along the lines that if the shortest available flight path for the chair of a meeting exceeds, say, 20 hours, it justifies business class flights.

Now that Leon has just been elected to the Board by ALAC, I withdraw my prior support and object to this outrageous boondoggle! ;-) Seriously -- Congratulations to Leon!!!! Philip S.

ICANN travel policy is flexible enough to cope already. This was a perfectly reasonable request, handled properly through existing procedures. We really don't all need to opine about a routine matter. On 27/02/17 11:10, Seun Ojedeji wrote:
Hello,
As much as I like the idea, I would think setting/updating a/the travel policy globally would be more appropriate; this group is just one out of the many other current/future groups who may find themselves in similar situation. Perhaps this can be a recommendation to the Board (or whoever is charge of ICANN travel policy)

I definitely agree that business class is warranted in this case - having to chair a session after 24h+ travel in economy class sounds nightmarish.
But I also see Nigel's point. Perhaps it'd be possible to come up with a rule, something along the lines that if the shortest available flight path for the chair of a meeting exceeds, say, 20 hours, it justifies business class flights.

No, no more rules or debates on the merits, please!!
ICANN travel policy is flexible enough to cope already.
This was a perfectly reasonable request, handled properly through existing procedures.
We really don't all need to opine about a routine matter.

Hello,
As much as I like the idea, I would think setting/updating a/the travel policy globally would be more appropriate; this group is just one out of the many other current/future groups who may find themselves in similar situation. Perhaps this can be a recommendation to the Board (or whoever is charge of ICANN travel policy)

I definitely agree that business class is warranted in this case - having to chair a session after 24h+ travel in economy class sounds nightmarish.
But I also see Nigel's point. Perhaps it'd be possible to come up with a rule, something along the lines that if the shortest available flight path for the chair of a meeting exceeds, say, 20 hours, it justifies business class flights.

Whilst I 100% agree with the previous contributors regarding the utility of the proposal (and hope this puts the tin lid on that discussion), and I also understand the reason that Leon put this out to the wider group, possibly to forestall any accusations of junketing, I am mildly uncomfortable with what seems to me to be a 'voting' mentaily on this.
To my simplistic mind, ICANN is a business. (Specifically, a non-profit business).
Where a particular expenditure advances the corporation's interests, it SHOULD be undertaken. Where it does not, not.
In this case, I would have simply preferred Leon to obtain the agreement of the fund-holder or gate-keeper (the other co-chairs?) and use the facility to promote the work-to-be-done, without provoking this great chorus of metoos.
The reason I say this, is that in the future, this procedure if it becomes de rigeur, might discourage participation whereby some people may be inhibited from asking for necessary facilities if it has to be 'approved' by every Member and Participant, or at least commented upon in the name of faux-transparency.
Seriously, ICANN is a billion dollar business.
Let's worry about doing the work, eh?
Oh, yes, in case it wasn't clear.
"I also agree with the proposed expenditure".

Given that, as we all know, air travel is susceptible to unanticipated delays, if ICANN is going to incur the extra expense of business class perhaps it would be better for Leon to book an earlier flight itinerary. Even if it meant an extra night of accommodations, it would minimize the possibility of a flight delay that prevented Leon from chairing the meeting.

Dear Thomas and Mathieu,
As the period to request travel support for our
meeting
in Johannesburg gets closer I would like to kindly ask for your
consideration
for an exception to our travel support rules given that traveling from Mexico to South Africa requires a double Intercontinental trip in any way I travel (either through Europe or South America).
Taking into account this situation and the fact
that I
will be chairing our face to face meeting just hours after I land in South Africa, I would kindly request that business class travel is authorized for this one time. Please feel free to share this request as widely as you consider for transparency purposes.
I thank your for your consideration in advance.
Best regards,
León

CCWG-Accountability-WS2-TravelSupport-ICANN59Johannesburg-25June2017-Announcement
and Process
The body of this email contains:
* The announcement for Travel Funding
Applications for
the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Face to Face at
ICANN59
on 25 June 2017 * The CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Travel Funding Policy * The CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Travel Funding Application Form (Applications must be
submitted by
23:59 UTC Sunday 19 March 2017)
All,
The CCWG-Accountability
-WS2
has travel funding for some Members and
Rapporteurs to
attend the Face to Face meetings held the day
prior to
an ICANN meeting who do not have any other funding available to them to attend.
Members are those individuals that are specifically appointed by the chartering SO/ACs to the CCWG-Accountability - the list of Members can be
found
at
https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=59640780 <https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=59640780> .
Rapporteurs are those listed as such on the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Wiki for specific sub-groups located at
https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/WS2+SubGroup+Topics <https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/WS2+SubGroup+Topics>.
Please see the attached policy for details regarding this funding.
If you are not a Member or a Rapporteur, please
do not
apply as there is a very limited number of seats
available.
The next Face to Face meeting of the
CCWG-accountability
will be held on 25 June 2017 in conjunction with
ICANN
59 in Johannesburg South Africa.
Those Members and Rapporteurs wishing to be
considered
for travel funding should fill out the attached
form and
submit it by
23:59 UTC Sunday 19 March 2017 to
Acct-Staff@icann.org <mailto:Acct-Staff@icann.org>
<mailto:Acct-Staff@icann.org
<mailto:Acct-Staff@icann.org>>.
The funding is for the Face- to- Face meeting
of the CCWG-Accountability WS2
, which can include airfare, hotel and a per-diem allocation for meals for attending the Face to Face meeting only (and not the full ICANN meeting).
However,
in analyzing the requests the
CCWG-Accountability-WS2
Co-Chairs will consider requests for partial funding (such as only an additional day of hotel and per
diem to
attend the Face to Face meeting) in order to maximize participation. As such Members are encouraged to only apply for what they need to allow for funding as many Members and Rapporteurs as possible.
The final decisions on travel funding will be
made by the
CCWG-Accountability-WS2
Co-Chairs and published on the
CCWG-Accountability WS2
wiki at
https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Travel+Supportwithin <https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Travel+Supportwithin>
7 days of the application period closing (a
confirmation
of the posting will be sent to the CCWG email list).
Those being supported will then be contacted by ICANN Travel using the standard ICANN travel funding
process
to arrange details.
Should you have any questions please do not
hesitate to
contact the CCWG-Accountability support staff at Acct-Staff@icann.org

Bernard Turcotte
ICANN Staff Support to the CCWG-Accountability-WS2
*Updated Process for Expressions of Interest
requesting
CCWG Travel Support (December 2016)*
The current budgeted amount to support the work
of CCWG
WS2 members allocates travel support (travel,
hotel and
per diem) for an amount equivalent to 20 appointed members or rapporteurs to attend only a CCWG face-to-face meeting. The Co-Chairs have the
authority
to re-allocate this amount – this could include supporting requests for partial funding to allow
them to
maximize the number of members attending (e.g. the requestor may ask for any or all of the following: airfare, and/or hotel and/or per diem) or to
extend the
stay of some key participants.
You are eligible for travel support from the CCWG
if you
are an officially appointed member of WS2 from a chartering SO or AC or if you are officially
listed as a
Rapporteur or Co-Rapporteur on the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Wiki located at
https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/WS2+-+Enhancing+ICANN+Accountabilit... <https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/WS2+-+Enhancing+ICANN+Accountabilit...>.
Travel support arrangements will follow Constituency Travel Guidelines located at:
https://community.icann.org/display/trvlconstit/Constituency+Travel+Home <https://community.icann.org/display/trvlconstit/Constituency+Travel+Home>
The CCWG travel support slots will be allocated in priority as follows:
CCWG-Accountability Co-Chairs – 3 slots (or
equivalent
amount)
CCWG-Accountability Chartering Organization Appointed Members
CCWG-Accountability Rapporteurs
CCWG appointed Members and Rapporteurs requesting consideration by the Co-Chairs for travel support to attend a face-to-face meeting must complete and
submit
the travel request form by the stipulated deadline in order to be considered for funding.
NOTE: In evaluating the applications for travel
funding
the Co-Chairs will consider applicant's attendance to CCWG meetings and their contributions to the ongoing work as well as the availability of alternate
funding to
the applicant.
CCWG Staff support will send out an announcement regarding the application for travel support and deadline for application submissions as soon as a face-to-face meeting has been approved.
Applications to
request travel support are located at:
https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Travel+Support <https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Travel+Support>

Given that, as we all know, air travel is susceptible to unanticipated delays, if ICANN is going to incur the extra expense of business class perhaps it would be better for Leon to book an earlier flight itinerary. Even if it meant an extra night of accommodations, it would minimize the possibility of a flight delay that prevented Leon from chairing the meeting.

Dear Thomas and Mathieu,
As the period to request travel support for our meeting in Johannesburg gets closer I would like to kindly ask for your consideration for an exception to our travel support rules given that traveling from Mexico to South Africa requires a double Intercontinental trip in any way I travel (either through Europe or South America).
Taking into account this situation and the fact that I will be chairing our face to face meeting just hours after I land in South Africa, I would kindly request that business class travel is authorized for this one time. Please feel free to share this request as widely as you consider for transparency purposes.
I thank your for your consideration in advance.

All,
The CCWG-Accountability -WS2 has travel funding for some Members and Rapporteurs to attend the Face to Face meetings held the day prior to an ICANN meeting who do not have any other funding available to them to attend.
Members are those individuals that are specifically appointed by the chartering SO/ACs to the CCWG-Accountability - the list of Members can be found at https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=59640780 .
Rapporteurs are those listed as such on the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Wiki for specific sub-groups located at https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/WS2+SubGroup+Topics. Please see the attached policy for details regarding this funding.
If you are not a Member or a Rapporteur, please do not apply as there is a very limited number of seats available.
The next Face to Face meeting of the CCWG-accountability will be held on 25 June 2017 in conjunction with ICANN 59 in Johannesburg South Africa.
Those Members and Rapporteurs wishing to be considered for travel funding should fill out the attached form and submit it by 23:59 UTC Sunday 19 March 2017 to Acct-Staff@icann.org.
The funding is for the Face- to- Face meeting of the CCWG-Accountability WS2 , which can include airfare, hotel and a per-diem allocation for meals for attending the Face to Face meeting only (and not the full ICANN meeting). However, in analyzing the requests the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Co-Chairs will consider requests for partial funding (such as only an additional day of hotel and per diem to attend the Face to Face meeting) in order to maximize participation. As such Members are encouraged to only apply for what they need to allow for funding as many Members and Rapporteurs as possible.
The final decisions on travel funding will be made by the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Co-Chairs and published on the CCWG-Accountability WS2 wiki at https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Travel+Support within 7 days of the application period closing (a confirmation of the posting will be sent to the CCWG email list).
Those being supported will then be contacted by ICANN Travel using the standard ICANN travel funding process to arrange details.
Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the CCWG-Accountability support staff at Acct-Staff@icann.org .

Hi all, let me close this discussion by thanking everyone for their contributions. 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

Given that, as we all know, air travel is susceptible to unanticipated delays, if ICANN is going to incur the extra expense of business class perhaps it would be better for Leon to book an earlier flight itinerary. Even if it meant an extra night of accommodations, it would minimize the possibility of a flight delay that prevented Leon from chairing the meeting.

Dear Colleagues,
For transparency, please be aware of the below specific request by Leon Sanchez regarding travel funding for Johannesburg.
Considering the proposed arrangement and the fact that Leon will have to (co-)chair our F2F meeting on Day 1, we are prepared to grant the request, unless the group objects.
Thank you for your attention. Best Thomas & Mathieu Co-chairs

Dear Thomas and Mathieu,
As the period to request travel support for our meeting in Johannesburg gets closer I would like to kindly ask for your consideration for an exception to our travel support rules given that traveling from Mexico to South Africa requires a double Intercontinental trip in any way I travel (either through Europe or South America).
Taking into account this situation and the fact that I will be chairing our face to face meeting just hours after I land in South Africa, I would kindly request that business class travel is authorized for this one time. Please feel free to share this request as widely as you consider for transparency purposes.
I thank your for your consideration in advance.
Best regards,
León

The body of this email contains:
* The announcement for Travel Funding Applications for the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Face to Face at ICANN59 on 25 June 2017 * The CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Travel Funding Policy * The CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Travel Funding Application Form (Applications must be submitted by
23:59 UTC Sunday 19 March 2017)
All,
The CCWG-Accountability -WS2 has travel funding for some Members and Rapporteurs to attend the Face to Face meetings held the day prior to an ICANN meeting who do not have any other funding available to them to attend.
Members are those individuals that are specifically appointed by the chartering SO/ACs to the CCWG-Accountability - the list of Members can be found at https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=59640780 .
Rapporteurs are those listed as such on the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Wiki for specific sub-groups located at https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/WS2+SubGroup+Topics. Please see the attached policy for details regarding this funding.
If you are not a Member or a Rapporteur, please do not apply as there is a very limited number of seats available.
The next Face to Face meeting of the CCWG-accountability will be held on 25 June 2017 in conjunction with ICANN 59 in Johannesburg South Africa.
Those Members and Rapporteurs wishing to be considered for travel funding should fill out the attached form and submit it by 23:59 UTC Sunday 19 March 2017 to Acct-Staff@icann.org <mailto:Acct-Staff@icann.org>.
The funding is for the Face- to- Face meeting of the CCWG-Accountability WS2 , which can include airfare, hotel and a per-diem allocation for meals for attending the Face to Face meeting only (and not the full ICANN meeting). However, in analyzing the requests the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Co-Chairs will consider requests for partial funding (such as only an additional day of hotel and per diem to attend the Face to Face meeting) in order to maximize participation. As such Members are encouraged to only apply for what they need to allow for funding as many Members and Rapporteurs as possible.
The final decisions on travel funding will be made by the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Co-Chairs and published on the CCWG-Accountability WS2 wiki at https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Travel+Support within 7 days of the application period closing (a confirmation of the posting will be sent to the CCWG email list).
Those being supported will then be contacted by ICANN Travel using the standard ICANN travel funding process to arrange details.
Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the CCWG-Accountability support staff at Acct-Staff@icann.org <mailto:Acct-Staff@icann.org> .

Considering the proposed arrangement and the fact that Leon will have to (co-)chair our F2F meeting on Day 1, we are prepared to grant the request, unless the group objects.
Thank you for your attention. Best Thomas & Mathieu Co-chairs
-----Message d'origine----- De : León Felipe Sánchez Ambía [mailto:leonfelipe@sanchez.mx <mailto:leonfelipe@sanchez.mx>] Envoyé : mercredi 15 février 2017 15:49 À : Thomas Rickert (thomas@rickert.net <mailto:thomas@rickert.net>); Mathieu Weill Cc : Accountability Staff Objet : Request for travel exception
Dear Thomas and Mathieu,
As the period to request travel support for our meeting in Johannesburg gets closer I would like to kindly ask for your consideration for an exception to our travel support rules given that traveling from Mexico to South Africa requires a double Intercontinental trip in any way I travel (either through Europe or South America).
Taking into account this situation and the fact that I will be chairing our face to face meeting just hours after I land in South Africa, I would kindly request that business class travel is authorized for this one time. Please feel free to share this request as widely as you consider for transparency purposes.
I thank your for your consideration in advance.
Best regards,
León

All,
The CCWG-Accountability -WS2 has travel funding for some Members and Rapporteurs to attend the Face to Face meetings held the day prior to an ICANN meeting who do not have any other funding available to them to attend.
Members are those individuals that are specifically appointed by the chartering SO/ACs to the CCWG-Accountability - the list of Members can be found at https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=59640780 <https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=59640780> .
Rapporteurs are those listed as such on the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Wiki for specific sub-groups located at https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/WS2+SubGroup+Topics <https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/WS2+SubGroup+Topics>. Please see the attached policy for details regarding this funding.
If you are not a Member or a Rapporteur, please do not apply as there is a very limited number of seats available.
The next Face to Face meeting of the CCWG-accountability will be held on 25 June 2017 in conjunction with ICANN 59 in Johannesburg South Africa.
Those Members and Rapporteurs wishing to be considered for travel funding should fill out the attached form and submit it by 23:59 UTC Sunday 19 March 2017 to Acct-Staff@icann.org <mailto:Acct-Staff@icann.org>.
The funding is for the Face- to- Face meeting of the CCWG-Accountability WS2 , which can include airfare, hotel and a per-diem allocation for meals for attending the Face to Face meeting only (and not the full ICANN meeting). However, in analyzing the requests the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Co-Chairs will consider requests for partial funding (such as only an additional day of hotel and per diem to attend the Face to Face meeting) in order to maximize participation. As such Members are encouraged to only apply for what they need to allow for funding as many Members and Rapporteurs as possible.
The final decisions on travel funding will be made by the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Co-Chairs and published on the CCWG-Accountability WS2 wiki at https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Travel+Support <https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Travel+Support> within 7 days of the application period closing (a confirmation of the posting will be sent to the CCWG email list).

All, We will check internally whether Leon’s appointment to the Board will lead to an invitation by the Board to participate to the Board meeting which has been a frequent practice as Erika indicated, in which case he will travel business class for this reason. 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!

All,
We will check internally whether Leon’s appointment to the Board will lead to an invitation by the Board to participate to the Board meeting which has been a frequent practice as Erika indicated, in which case he will travel business class for this reason.
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.
Best,
Xavier

Hi all, let me close this discussion by thanking everyone for their contributions.
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!

I do agree as well but recommend to check whether Leon is not going to be already on the ICANN board ticket. Typically board members get invited immediately, once they are nominated, to board meetings (payed business class).

Given that, as we all know, air travel is susceptible to unanticipated delays, if ICANN is going to incur the extra expense of business class perhaps it would be better for Leon to book an earlier flight itinerary. Even if it meant an extra night of accommodations, it would minimize the possibility of a flight delay that prevented Leon from chairing the meeting.

Dear Thomas and Mathieu,
As the period to request travel support for our meeting in Johannesburg gets closer I would like to kindly ask for your consideration for an exception to our travel support rules given that traveling from Mexico to South Africa requires a double Intercontinental trip in any way I travel (either through Europe or South America).
Taking into account this situation and the fact that I will be chairing our face to face meeting just hours after I land in South Africa, I would kindly request that business class travel is authorized for this one time. Please feel free to share this request as widely as you consider for transparency purposes.
I thank your for your consideration in advance.
Best regards,
León

The body of this email contains:
The announcement for Travel Funding Applications for the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Face to Face at ICANN59 on 25 June 2017 The CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Travel Funding Policy The CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Travel Funding Application Form (Applications must be submitted by 23:59 UTC Sunday 19 March 2017)
All,
The CCWG-Accountability -WS2 has travel funding for some Members and Rapporteurs to attend the Face to Face meetings held the day prior to an ICANN meeting who do not have any other funding available to them to attend.
Members are those individuals that are specifically appointed by the chartering SO/ACs to the CCWG-Accountability - the list of Members can be found at https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=59640780[community.icann.org] .
Rapporteurs are those listed as such on the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Wiki for specific sub-groups located at https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/WS2+SubGroup+Topics[community.icann.org]. Please see the attached policy for details regarding this funding.
If you are not a Member or a Rapporteur, please do not apply as there is a very limited number of seats available.
The next Face to Face meeting of the CCWG-accountability will be held on 25 June 2017 in conjunction with ICANN 59 in Johannesburg South Africa.
Those Members and Rapporteurs wishing to be considered for travel funding should fill out the attached form and submit it by 23:59 UTC Sunday 19 March 2017 to Acct-Staff@icann.org.
The funding is for the Face- to- Face meeting of the CCWG-Accountability WS2 , which can include airfare, hotel and a per-diem allocation for meals for attending the Face to Face meeting only (and not the full ICANN meeting). However, in analyzing the requests the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Co-Chairs will consider requests for partial funding (such as only an additional day of hotel and per diem to attend the Face to Face meeting) in order to maximize participation. As such Members are encouraged to only apply for what they need to allow for funding as many Members and Rapporteurs as possible.
The final decisions on travel funding will be made by the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Co-Chairs and published on the CCWG-Accountability WS2 wiki at https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Travel+Support[community.icann.org] within 7 days of the application period closing (a confirmation of the posting will be sent to the CCWG email list).
Those being supported will then be contacted by ICANN Travel using the standard ICANN travel funding process to arrange details.
Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the CCWG-Accountability support staff at Acct-Staff@icann.org .

Members are those individuals that are specifically appointed by the chartering SO/ACs to the CCWG-Accountability - the list of Members can be found at <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_pag...> https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=59640780[community.icann.org] . Rapporteurs are those listed as such on the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Wiki for specific sub-groups located at <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_dis...> https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/WS2+SubGroup+Topics[community.icann.org]. Please see the attached policy for details regarding this funding. If you are not a Member or a Rapporteur, please do not apply as there is a very limited number of seats available. The next Face to Face meeting of the CCWG-accountability will be held on 25 June 2017 in conjunction with ICANN 59 in Johannesburg South Africa. Those Members and Rapporteurs wishing to be considered for travel funding should fill out the attached form and submit it by 23:59 UTC Sunday 19 March 2017 to <mailto:Acct-Staff@icann.org> Acct-Staff@icann.org. The funding is for the Face- to- Face meeting of the CCWG-Accountability WS2 , which can include airfare, hotel and a per-diem allocation for meals for attending the Face to Face meeting only (and not the full ICANN meeting). However, in analyzing the requests the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Co-Chairs will consider requests for partial funding (such as only an additional day of hotel and per diem to attend the Face to Face meeting) in order to maximize participation. As such Members are encouraged to only apply for what they need to allow for funding as many Members and Rapporteurs as possible. The final decisions on travel funding will be made by the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Co-Chairs and published on the CCWG-Accountability WS2 wiki at <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_dis...> https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Travel+Support[community.icann.org] within 7 days of the application period closing (a confirmation of the posting will be sent to the CCWG email list). Those being supported will then be contacted by ICANN Travel using the standard ICANN travel funding process to arrange details.

Bernard Turcotte ICANN Staff Support to the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Updated Process for Expressions of Interest requesting CCWG Travel Support (December 2016) The current budgeted amount to support the work of CCWG WS2 members allocates travel support (travel, hotel and per diem) for an amount equivalent to 20 appointed members or rapporteurs to attend only a CCWG face-to-face meeting. The Co-Chairs have the authority to re-allocate this amount – this could include supporting requests for partial funding to allow them to maximize the number of members attending (e.g. the requestor may ask for any or all of the following: airfare, and/or hotel and/or per diem) or to extend the stay of some key participants. You are eligible for travel support from the CCWG if you are an officially appointed member of WS2 from a chartering SO or AC or if you are officially listed as a Rapporteur or Co-Rapporteur on the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Wiki located at <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_dis...> https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/WS2+-+Enhancing+ICANN+Accountability+Home[community.icann.org] .

Calvez Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2017 3:15 PM To: Thomas Rickert <rickert@anwaelte.de>; erika@erikamann.com Cc: Diane Schroeder <diane.schroeder@icann.org>; Accountability Cross Community <accountability-cross-community@icann.org> Subject: Re: [CCWG-ACCT] CCWG-Accountability-WS2-TravelSupport-ICANN59Johannesburg-25June2017-Announcement and Process All, We will check internally whether Leon’s appointment to the Board will lead to an invitation by the Board to participate to the Board meeting which has been a frequent practice as Erika indicated, in which case he will travel business class for this reason. 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.

Taking into account this situation and the fact that I will be chairing our face to face meeting just hours after I land in South Africa, I would kindly request that business class travel is authorized for this one time. Please feel free to share this request as widely as you consider for transparency purposes. I thank your for your consideration in advance.

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

Dear Xavier,
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).
I have been struggling with some parts of the policy that, in the words of Constituent Travel, "is not yet outlined in the Travel Guidelines", I am curious about who sets the travel policy, and what the formal process is to decide on it. Is there any policy document you could point me to? Julf
