Dear Council colleagues, As noted on in our August GNSO Council meeting, we received in the FY18 budget process funding through the Additional Budget Request (ABR) mechanism to run a pilot of travel funding for a limited number of our PDP Chairs/leaders who otherwise would not have received funding to attend an ICANN public meeting. We are required under the Additional Budget Request process to provide a report summarising how the funds were used, and how they contributed to our activities. Donna, Rafik and I put the attached report to your attention; if you have any objections or proposed amendments, please could you post these to the Council list by next Monday, 10 September? Many thanks and best wishes, Heather, on behalf of Council leadership team
