Michael and all, If I may suggest again, your best bet is to set up a travel fund where members can contribute and seek additional funding if needed from other public/private interest groups. Personally, I fully agree with ICANN's decision in this instance. No freeloaders, deadbeats, or less financially personally responsible, is always a wise policy. Michael Maranda wrote:
Well done on the document. We (AFCN) fully support this statement. I hope other RALOs join the statement or offer similar.
re: concluding sentence ... .charade/facade ... maybe pick one?

Hi all,
During the meetings in Paris is came to light that the Board put through a resolution to reduce ALAC's travel. This was slipped through and didn't even follow the wording in the "Draft Travel Support Procedure" document of May 22, 2008. We owe a huge THANK YOU to Alan Greenburg for catching this as neither Evan nor I nor the rest of the ALAC caught this when it happened. The affects of these cuts to the ALAC travel would mean:
1. Only ½ of the ALAC would be funded for travel for meetings â the rest would have to self-fund 2. No Secretariats or Chairs attending meetings 3. No travel support for ALSs to attend regional meetings.
Therefore, it was decided during the last NARALO telephone conference that we convene a mini-WG (comprised of Gareth Shearman, Evan and myself) to come up with a formal response. We have drafted the attached document. Please have a look at this ASAP and get back to us (on or before Friday, August 8, 2008) with any changes or additions you might like OR stating that you do not support it at all (as we must have consensus).
Thank you,
D
