Hi all, Sorry for the late answer but this has slipped my attention and I rediscovered the mail this morning. I have a suggestion for your consideration and that could help digest the demanded increase in travel support slots. As we ask for more than doubling the number of travel support slots, we can anticipate an effort from ICANN to downplay our demand. The draft outlines as a principle that travel support that is not used/waived by a ccNSO council member (chair, vice-chair, regional council, nomcom council) or liaison is attributed to the ccNSO community (meaning that a member gets the opportunity to apply for travel support). The draft further foresees that the current 4 slots that are reserved for the community is upgraded to 6. Would it be an idea to put in as a principle that travel support that is not used/waived by ccNSO council members doesn’t go to the community but is simply “not consumed” and thus resulting in a cost reduction. Depending on the exact number of travel support that is waived, this could in reality mean that the increase is not 14 full support slots but substantially less. However without throwing overboard the possibility to have a full funded travel support for ccNSO council & liaisons. Best, Peter Peter Vergote Legal & Corp.
