The consultant would not be connected to the World Bank, no. The consultant in question is whomever is chosen to conduct the ALAC Review. The budgeting of travel is based upon formulae which were created by other people presumably in Finance when the budget for FY07 was completed, also long before I became involved. As to what they mean, I would suggest that what they mean is that a budgeted amount was come up with related to community travel, and the number reflected in what I sent is the number which was budgeted at the time the budget was created.

Nick, at the end of March you posted a mid year budget forecast for ALAC <http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/alac_atlarge-lists.icann.org/2007q1...>. File's attached. Travel costs for San Juan over $180,000 (excluding travel for 1 consultant at $9,500... World Bank? :-)
Are these real figures? Would be nice to know what they mean.
Thanks,
Adam

Dear Karen:
There is nothing official posted, but how it is working is like this:
At each international meeting, at least one At-Large region is invited to send one delegate per At-Large Structure to a regional meeting at the ICANN Meeting. This is in addition to the members of the ALAC, who are also subsidised to attend each International Meeting.
The region or regions to be invited is based upon where the international meeting is located. So, for San Juan, we have LAC and North America coming, for Lisbon it was Europe and Africa. For Asia it will be just the Asia/Australia/Pacific ALSes who will be attending I believe.

hi
ALAC has its own cash and perhaps up to ALAC to work out how to use it?
could someone point me to the current policy on how ALAC does allocate funds to participation for folk interested in participating in ICANN meetings?
One quick thought... put a portion of the ALAC budget into the fellowship fund just announced and invite a proportionate number of "users" unaffiliated with ALS (etc) as part of the overall fellowship group.
interesting idea..
