It may be useful to have first from staff a comment on the practicality / operation of what we are proposing. ie - will it be a lump sum given 1st Jan to each constituency or a budget against which constituencies draw down? - how will the fixed sum/budget be determined if there is a variable cost of the nom com and GNSO chair travel (eg variable cost of 3 air tickets and variable days stayed). - if a new constituency appears in 2009 does the sum/budget to the old constituencies go down? - is a travel budget an incentive to form a new constituency? (Question for the OPS group to consider ?) Philip
