As you may know, the ALAC is currently funded for 27 travel slots to ICANN meetings: 15 ALAC Members, 10 Regional Leaders, and the Liaisons to the GNSO and ccNSO. We are not currently funded for the Liaison to the SSAC, but generally SSAC has provided support for that. Currently the two Liaisons to the GNSO and ccNSO (Olivier and Maureen) are funded due to their roles as EURALO Chair and APRALO ALAC Member, and we have not been allowed to reallocate the Liaison funding for other purposes.
In our FY17 Community Budget Requests, we requested permission to used these slots for other purposes in support of the ALAC mission, and particularly to bring people to an ICANN meeting where their presence will be of particular merit. Although the formal FY17 process is ongoing, we have been allowed to use the two travel slots for the last meeting of FY16.
I requested and received a number of suggestions from the ALAC and Regional Leaders as to how these slots might best be used. There is a long-standing process by which unused travel slots within a region are allocated by regional leadership, and we are doing an equivalent process with these At-Large-wide slots. In consultation and with the unanimous support of the ALT, I am announcing that the additional travellers to the ICANN55 meeting in Helsinki will be Dev Anand Teelucksingh and Daniel Nanghaka.
Dev is a (among other things) key participant (and chair of some cases) of the Outreach & Engagement (O&E) SC, the Technology Taskforce and the CROPP-RT.
Daniel is (among other things) active in the O&E SC, the CROPP-RT and the GNSO PDP on Next-Generation gTLD Registration Directory Services (RDS) to Replace Whois.
Cheryl Langdon-Orr, who was suggested by a number of people, will be at the meeting but funded through a different source.
