Good work Alan, I like Adam's additions as well, Is there any room or context to talk about staff travel policy for attending regional meetings? These are the ones that are done for only parts of the community (registrars, mostly) but are closed to others. If ICANN is concerned about the costs of flinging people around the world, then shouldn't its own staff be part of the equation? Also: it seems that we need to remind ICANN that its choice of meeting cities will definitely have an effect on travel expenses. The choice of Cartahena may be useful for other reasons but it will be a nightmare from a POV of booking travel. This seems a step backwards from the original inclination to prefer significant travel hubs. - Evan
