Re: [council] Revised Community Travel Support Procedure for FY09
The amount shown for GNSO is $185,000, ostensibly for 12 councillors at economy rates, and the chair at business class rates (this includes the amount for the three NomCom appointees which was previously in the NomCom budget. In fact, the $185k reflects just 1 business + 11 economy. 1 x 8,800 + 11 x 4,800 = 184,800, rounded to 185k 1 x 8,800 + 12 x 4,800 = 199,200, rounded to 199k Am I missing something here or have been effectively shortchanged by $14k? (Other groups are similarly underfunded by one person.) Alan
Alan et. al., I don't know what the discrepancy is here but will investigate and get back to the group within 24 hours. The whole point of this is to be open and make it easy to calculate, so if it is wrong, I'll make sure it is updated.

All, Thank you Alan for finding this math error which must have crept in between versions of the document. Sorry for that. This error affected both the GNSO and ASO numbers (not ccNSO). Correct total numbers are: GNSO: $199,200 ccNSO: $170,400 ASO: $127,200 Of course, these are budget numbers only, with actual expenses dependent on the actual costs at various venues. Staff will cover this (and several of the other comments/questions that have come up on the list) in the FAQ, and anticipate that the first version of this will be posted next Tuesday. Best, Doug -- Doug Brent Chief Operating Officer ICANN Voice: +1 310.301.3871 Mobile: +1 650.996.4447 Fax: +1 310.823.8649 On 8/14/08 8:28 AM, "Alan Greenberg" <alan.greenberg@mcgill.ca> wrote:
