I'm happy to report that due to popular request, we will be able to change from paying per-diems after the meeting to paying them out, in cash, onsite in San Juan! Here's how it will work: 1) We have compiled a list using the itineraries provided to us by American Express, and for those few of you who were approved to buy your tickets individually. 2) The per-diem rules in the travel policy will be used to calculate the number of days' per-diem you will receive. Except for those who already are approved for meeting requirements before the Sunday, or who are in specific situations with long-haul travel involving stopovers, per-diems will be paid out on a MAXIMUM number of 7 days - calculated based upon the period of 23 - 29 June INCLUSIVE. Of course if you depart later than the 23rd, or return home earlier than the 30th, these dates and days of PD will be different. 3) At the beginning of the meetings on Sunday, 24th June, we will be handing out envelopes to each of you and asking you to sign receipts. This will take place at the LAC meeting room for LAC, and the NA meeting room for NA. (ALAC members who are in San Juan on Sunday morning can pickup your PDs at the same time; if you aren't there yet, we'll do it at the first breakfast meeting on Monday) Q&A: Question: I've sent in my per diem form already - what will happen to those? Answer: We will check these but you will actually receive your funds as outlined above Question: Do I need to send in a per diem form if I haven't already? Answer: No. Question: What if I have a question? Answer: Send it to: travel-staff@atlarge-lists.icann.org - NOT to any individual on staff. We'll be able to answer you much more quickly that way. -- Regards, ICANN At-Large Travel Staff travel-staff@atlarge-lists.icann.org
