Hello Everyone: After reviewing the chat and content of our call Tuesday, 21 August, it has been decided to proceed with the meeting in Los Angeles as proposed. (See bullet three, below.) 1. Members who are attending in person already should have travel arrangements in process. 2. Members unable to attend should have designated their alternates for attendance, who should be in contact with ICANN regarding travel arrangements. (See Alternate Assignment form, https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScuCvS7vKS4MuaXwJmDcUHtOTskg6t5qrSE...) Remote participation is available for members that prefer to participate remotely instead of designating an alternate. 3. Members who are attending but will miss a portion of the meeting should designate an alternate who will replace that member when they are gone from the meeting for a significant period. That alternate will be permitted to sit in on the entire three-day meeting but participate only when the member is absent from the meeting. In these cases, alternates will not be provided travel funding. Travel funding is allocated based on the number of members in each group. Remote participation will also be available for those members that prefer to participate remotely instead of designating an alternate. If any of the above is not clear or if you have questions, you can contact me, Rafik or the ICANN Support Team. Through this email, I am asking Terri Agnew to follow up with you to ensure all necessary travel is planned and funded. I am looking forward to the meeting and commit to work with the support staff to make the effort on your part worth your while. Best regards, Kurt
