While not an expert on ICANN travel policies, I don’t believe
that the 3-trip limit would apply to a Review Team. The policy found at the
link Olof forwarded, dated 5 April 2010, makes no mention of restrictions on
Review Team travel, at least none that I found.
It is my understanding that ICANN will fund reasonable Review
Team travel. Given that there is no mention of Review Teams in current ICANN
policy, I suggest that a reasonable interpretation is that travel limitations
in current Policy apply only to those items specifically mentioned in that
Policy. Review travel would be, and should be above at beyond those limitations
(if any).
Perhaps that should be made explicit at some point.
I too would like to finalize our meeting dates, etc.

Dear All,
I am relying on ICANN travel support in order to attend face to
face meetings. As I understand the travel support policies, this funding
is limited to 3 meetings per year.
Many thanks Sharon for offering to host a meeting in January.
I am flexible on the location and that timeframe and only have the
constraint of ICANN travel support.
I also have no objection to an alternate designated by Sharon
since Sharon is the only Law Enforcement representative in our group.
Based on the published scope and goals of our Review, it is essential that we
address the law enforcement aspects.
If we do go ahead and have a meeting in Cartagena, I believe we
all need to finalize our travel itineraries and
decide on our meeting dates and times.
As others have commented, I agree that we need to move forward and
elect a Chair and Vice-Chair on our next call. Believe that will help us
make faster progress.
Kind regards,
Lynn

Kathy,
As you know, I will not be attending the Columbia meeting. I would very much support a meeting in January, for purely selfish reasons of wanting to meet everyone. If it would be useful, I am more than happy to host a meeting, if given enough warning. My offices are at Docklands - other than that, willing to travel to wherever - but like most of us have a very full diary, so plenty of warning is very helpful.
Sharon
