My recollection is that they get travel expenses and I believe business class air travel (for long flights anyway, perhaps all). Alan At 04/12/2007 01:23 PM, Rosette, Kristina wrote:

Do the Board members get travel? I thought they didn't.

I suggest replacing the last sentence with: The Council appreciates your prompt consideration of this request. We look forward to receiving the requested travel expense authorization soon.

Dear Dr. Twomey,

I am writing on behalf to the GNSO council with a urgent request for travel funding for all GNSO council members for the New Delhi meeting. A strong majority of those in the council, with no dissent, have requested that all GNSO council members receive the same consideration for their travel expenses as Nomcom Appointees to the council receive. This support should be at the same level as is received by Members of the ICANN Board.

The urgency of the situation, though the request has been a standing request for a while now, is because several council members have indicated that they will not be able to attend the meeting in New Delhi without such support.

Please get back to me as soon as possible regarding this request.

Thank you,

Avri Doria Chair, GNSO Council
