Dear Avri, you make a good point. This is the updated table of remaining travel resources for Sydney meeting, considering what was used for Cairo and Mexico. I will check with the drafting team what other suggestion we could make in relation with funds allocation.

Hi,
I was wondering whether there would be general support in the council for using the monies in this account to supplement the travel budget to Sydney and to Seoul in order to allow all current constituencies who wish to send 3 participants (Councilors, WG participants, SC ...) .
While we are asking for better funding in future years, we can be fairly certain that we will not get a raise in support for 2009. It may make sense to use these funds for that purpose - i have been asked why we are holding on to the money in a time when we need more support.
If there is general support, I would like to ask the Travel DT to figure out how to make this allocation and then to bring a motion to the council.
thanks
a.
