Approval of changed text in ccNSO Travel Guidelines The ccNSO Travel Guidelines are available at http://ccnso.icann.org/about/ccnso-travel-funding-04nov08.pdf The part which needs to be changed in order to reflect ICANN's new timing requirements on submitting the names of the funded travellers is following: Currently, the text says: Timing The Committee must reach a decision on who to fund 74 days in advance of the following ICANN meeting. Please, note that this implies an initial draft agenda for the upcoming ICANN meeting should be determined more then 74 days in adavance of the upcoming meeting, to enable the use of this facility by non-councillors. The call for travel funding applications must therefore start two weeks before the foregoing ICANN meeting and end one week after. The new suggested text says: Timing The Committee must reach a decision on who to fund 100 days in advance of the following ICANN meeting. The call for travel funding applications must therefore start two weeks before the foregoing ICANN meeting and end one week after. Kind regards, Gabi
