Dear all, I was asked to forward the message below from ICANN's Chief Financial Officer Kevin Wilson. He is planning to set up conference calls regarding the level of travel support to the ICANN community and would like to invite all interested parties to join the calls. Please, let me know if you are planning to attend the call. See below for more details. Kind regards, Gabi ------ Forwarded Message From: Kevin Wilson <kevin.wilson@icann.org> Date: Fri, 8 May 2009 06:54:29 -0700 We would like to discuss the status of travel support with interested members of the ICANN community. The purpose of the call is to summarize what we have heard from the community, the changes we are including in the FY10 Draft budget( in advance of its posting on 17 May), and the status of the updated travel policies/procedures/guidelines to be posted soon for further community feedback. We will also address the status of many of the less financially important, but historically time consuming for community and staff, issues. I think the community will be pleased with the progress we are making. My current thought is to have two calls next Thursday, say UTC 1500 and next "Friday" UTC 0300. That's Thursday morning and evening MDR time. Best Kevin Wilson
