Dear Amrita, thank you very much. It is a great constructive approach. Maybe it (such a structure - a survey, criteria and indicators to ensure a fair assessment of the need to involve people in face-to-face meetings) will become a basic form for discussions about travel policy at first at the RALO level.

Dear All,

The APRALO LT carried out a poll (Link: https://forms.gle/gabjf8fshuM7x1pZ7) with the community related to the Travel Policy in order to find out the views of our community.

34 people participated in the poll. Sharing below a summary of the same.

Do note since the poll was conducted prior to the Pilot Travel Policy being shelved some of the responses will not be relevant.

- 76% respondents supported the APRALO LT position on the Pilot Travel Policy. - 63% opined that the Pilot Travel Policy should be rejected. - 82% respondents felt that APRALO should have the discretion on how to use the 2 travel slots of the RALO - 94% felt that APRALO should be empowered to set APRALO specific metrics to evolve the travel policy which is fair and accountable and where required people for the meetings are predictable - In terms of suggestions for what could be the 2 or 3 parameters APRALO should apply metrics on to establish the new travel policy program for the RALOs, were:

Engagement and Participation Equity Impact Assessment of Contribution (RALO, Community, IG) Diversity & Inclusion Incentive to engage Prioritize travel slots for RALO members who have proposed specific session topics, workshops, or initiatives that align with ICANN's strategic objectives and interests of the At-Large community.

We discussed the response in our Monthly Call yesterday and decided that the next step will be to deliberate further in a small group on these metrics and then discuss with the APRALO community. Will keep you all posted.

Regards,

Amrita
