The BC formally
protests the present ICANN travel policy as inadequate for the needs of the
GNSO.
The notification
below of our needs for Cairo in the format requested by the ICANN chair for
pragmatic interim purposes should not be construed in any way as support tacit
or otherwise.
-----------------------------
The BC needs for
travel support for Cairo are:
1. Mike
Rodenbaugh.
2. Zahid Jamil who
writes:
"I will be
unable to attend Cairo without support for air fare and hotel since the
organisation I represent is a very small entity, without any available
funding."
3. Philip
Sheppard who writes:
"I request
travel support in my representative capacity on behalf of commercial users who
are affected by ICANN policies. While my association is willing to donate my
time it is profoundly unreasonable to expect it to also fund out of pocket
travel costs for work that is fundamental to ICANN when ICANN's budget is in
excess of USD 60 million".
