Dear At-Large community members: The travel procedure for FY 2009 has been published - available at http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-13aug08-en.htm. Additional information on how this affects At-Large travel in the current FY is included below. For At-Large travel in FY 2009, in addition to funding the At-Large Summit, ICANN will be funding the 15 members of the ALAC to attend the Cairo meeting and the meeting being held in the Asia-Pacific region (location TBA) in June 2009. The funding for the 15 members will be on the same basis as has been the case for recent At-Large travel to ICANN meetings: * Hotel * Per-Diem * Airfare Of course, all the RALOs will be meeting during this fiscal year as a part of the Summit, and of course ALAC members will attend the Summit as well. The result is that overall, At-Large travel is considerably increased for this FY over that provided for previous years. To compare it in terms of the number of attendees, see below: FY 2008: 35 At-Large attendees funded per ICANN meeting = 105 persons total FY 2009: 15 At-Large attendees at 2 meetings plus up to approximately 105 attendees at one meeting = up to 135 attendees Please let me know if you have questions. -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Director for At-Large Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Main Tel: +33 (450) 40 46 88 USA DD: +1 (310) 578-8637 Fax: +41 (22) 594-85-44 Mobile: +41 (79) 595 54-68 email: nick.ashton-hart@icann.org Win IM: ashtonhart@hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart@mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart
