Re: [ALAC] Draft statement on travel funding for approval at ALAC meeting - 24Mar09
Indeed. Let's try to draft some ideas on this. -----Original Message----- From: alac-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org [mailto:alac-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org] On Behalf Of Sébastien Bachollet Sent: Monday, March 23, 2009 12:44 PM To: 'Alan Greenberg'; 'ALAC Working List' Subject: Re: [ALAC] Draft statement on travel funding for approval at ALAC meeting - 24Mar09 Hello, My only concern is with the liaisons.

As discussed in Mexico City, ICANN is in the process of developing its 2009-2010 Travel Procedure and Budget, and it was felt important for the ALAC to quickly identify its needs and formally submit them to ICANN.
The draft document is attached in both PDF and WORD format.
Please take whatever actions are necessary to be able to vote on this important measure at next week's meeting. You may forward certainly it to your RALO lists if appropriate.
Although I am sure they are not very good, I have provided machine translations for: French - http://alangreenberg.org/ICANN/Travel-F.htm and Spanish: http://alangreenberg.org/ICANN/Travel-S.htm.

I guess I have to disagree. I cannot remember a time during my tenure where we needed funding for more than two Liaison, formal or informal. (Admittedly I have not checked the actual record and perhaps I have forgotten someone.) Once we have the funding (based on the precedent set with the GNSO this year), it can be used for whatever people are needed (within the overall envelope). I think that asking for more than we have historically used, or can reasonably predict in the new future is a bad strategy. It sends a message that we are asking for more than we need and are expecting to be cut back. If they also cut back in other categories, it will hurt us. Moreover, as a general principle, if we can find good people who will take on the load, I think that current ALAC members (who are already funded) provide the best opportunities for bi-directional dialogue. Or perhaps recent past members. Alan At 26/03/2009 06:34 PM, Vanda Scartezini wrote:
