We have a short time to do the call for travellers for the "policy slots". Last time, the criteria were summarized in the call for expressions of interest as: There are two travel slots that will be allocated to At-Large participants who are ACTIVELY involved in some ICANN policy activity, or those with a strong history of such involvement in the past and an interest to restart. Those include gNSO or ccNSO PDPs, CCWGs, ALAC support Working Groups and the At-Large Review (with a lesser emphasis on the latter). Other slots may be opened due to other travellers not being able to attend or not requiring full funding. During the selection, we decided that to the extent practical, we should also tried to select people who had not been previously selected. I an recommending doing that again, and also, to the extent possible, try to identify people who will best benefit from the extensive policy discussions we expect in Panama. Are there other criteria that we should consider. As in the past, the selection will be done by the RALO chairs and me, to best identify local talent who need to be favoured. The call needs to be made very soon, so please contact me quickly if you have input. Alan
