ICANN funded travel costs for 60 staff for New Delhi - yes that is SIXTY people. It is amazing that it now won't fund participation of the GNSO policy efforts. I'm not complaining about the 60 staff that were in Delhi, no doubt they were needed. But participation of the GNSO is also needed for ICANN to be able to continue to market itself as "bottom up", "community-driven", etc. Otherwise, it is just empty rhetoric. - Robin On Feb 27, 2008, at 2:49 PM, Mike Rodenbaugh wrote:

No funds were set aside for GNSO Council travel support to Paris and there currently are no plans to provide support.

Hi Denise,
When should we expect to learn about ICANN travel funding for Paris? I know many folks are already planning their trips and it is a very busy time in Paris.
Thanks,
Mike
