I personally agree. If I do not hear any other comments I will rewrite the draft document. We should review this issue during our next conference call. Best Olga 2008/12/8 Philip Sheppard <philip.sheppard@aim.be> Olga, thanks for circulating this. Seems fine. On reporting I think we can be transparent without being bureaucratic and burdensome on volunteers. There is no merit in 15 Council members all writing a report saying "I attended a Council meeting". Moreover, I presume the system is that Constituencies nominate who gets the support but then the individual still needs to apply to ICANN staff for that support ? If so staff is fully informed of who gets what and other staff is fully informed of who attended what. Suggest the following instead: Philip -------------------- Transparency and Reporting: ICANN staff will publish the names of all those who receive travel support together with a list of the relevant meeting(s) for which the support was given and which were attended by the support recipient.
