Travel Drafting team:

Drafting team met with Kevin Wilson from ICANN staff during the Brussels meeting.
Team expressed different concerns mainly focused on having more flexibility in selecting flights, dates and times.
Also we requested the need for letting GNSO council members to stay for Friday´s Board meeting, allowing one more night of hotel expenses.
Kevin and his team will try to minimize possible inconveniences caused by not being flexible with tickets booking, dates, times etc.
He suggested also that GNSO should submit a written comment about the Friday participation requirement once the comment period is open for the travel guidelines.
