Avri, Here is my statement of need for the ICANN Cairo meeting. I anticipate that my travel cost and hotel accommodation from Thursday Nov 6 to Sunday Nov 9am will be covered for me as a member of the 2009 Nominating Committee. While my employer dedicates my time to the work of the GNSO, it does not reimburse any part of my ICANN-related travel expenses. I will need reimbursement of my hotel accommodation for the part of my stay up to Thursday Nov 6 + a per diem if available. u/ Ute Decker | Director - Interoperability & Standards - Microsoft EMEA | +447967262245| 100 Victoria St, London SW1E 5JL, UK
