Hi, Agenda: Duration; 1 hour max Note: This is a non voting meeting - any decisions will need to be confirmed by the meeting on 4 Sept 1. Allocation of travel slots for Cairo 2. If there is time and inclination: discussion of next steps in responding to the Staff Determined Travel Policy (SDTP) for the GNSO. The information for 28 August meeting. Default Travel spots: BC - Mike Rodenbaugh. IPC - Ute Decker ISPC - Tony Harris NCUC - Robin Gross RrC - Clarke Walton RyC - Carolyn Hoover This leaves 4 spots and 5 names BC- Zahid Jamil BC - Philip Sheppard IPC - Kristina Rosette ISPC - Greg Ruth NCUC - Norbert Klein However: Ute Decker and Greg Ruth can get partial support (travel + some expenses) because of Nomcom status. While I am waiting for confirmation I do believe there are funds that can be used to cover the balance from a budget other then the Staff Determined Travel Policy budget. We have been informed, definitely, that the SDTP will only provide full coverage and will not allow for partial support or for splitting support between 2 people. thanks a. Excepts from email with requests: 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". This is an official request to let you know that NCUC would like to request travel and lodging support for two of its GNSO Councillors: 1) Robin Gross 2) Norbert Klein. IPC 1. Full funding for Ute Decker; and 2. Partial funding (hotel only) for Kristina Rosette. The submission from the ISPCP for travel support for the Cairo meeting are; 1. Tony Harris 2. Greg Ruth The RyC requests Cairo travel funding for Carolyn Hoover, Chief Executive Officer, DotCooperation LLC (.coop). Carolyn would not be able to attend the ICANN meetings in Cairo without travel funding assistance. She has been a consistent and constructive participant in ICANN policy matters within the RyC ever since dotCOOP joined the RyC many years ago, so we are very pleased that she will be able to participate in-person in Cairo. She is committed to actively participating in as many ICANN open meetings as possible and to especially represent the views of a small gTLD registry. The Registrar Constituency requests travel funding for Clarke Walton for the Cairo meeting. Clarke is responsible for assisting the Registrar Constituency with all facets of the GNSO policy development process.
