Dear Kurt In reply to my earlier message regarding Travel Support for Kobe meeting of EPDP ,I received the following from secretariat Quote *From Marika Koenig * *Dear All,* *For your information, the following meetings have been requested for the EPDP Team for ICANN64:* - *Saturday, 09 March - 08:30-18:30 * - *Sunday, 10 March - 17:00-18:30* - *Wed, 13 March - 10:30 -12:00* - *Thursday, 14 March - 08:30-10:15* *It will be decided closer to the date whether all these sessions are needed, but at a minimum, the EPDP Team is expected to meet all day on Saturday 9 March. * *Note that no travel support is available for this meeting, but remote participation will be available. Similarly, alternates can be requested to step in for members not attending ICANN64.* *Best regards,* *Caitlin, Berry and Marika* Unquote This announcement is disappointing and frustrating as based on the past experience all these TEAM MEETINGS were provided with travel support. I do not understand nor convinced that why for almost the last f2f meeting there would be no travel support In view of the circumstances some of us encountering, may I request you to seriously consider the matter and provide travel support at least for those who are in special circumstances or those that they asked for that I am awaiting your kind attention and favourable reply as soon as possible allowing us to make the travel arrangement in a smooth manner Regards Kavouss
