Dear all,
As agreed during the call today, we will reduce the Sunday
meeting for the WHOIS Review Team in Cartagena to two hours, with full remote
participation capabilities, and we will cancel the community interaction
session on Wednesday. For the Sunday meeting, we have put up a Doodle poll (see
separate mail from Alice) to find the most convenient time for both those who
attend in person and remotely, so please fill it out from either perspective,
as applicable to you.
Now, in light of the limited schedule for the Team in
Cartagena, the Team also agreed not to use our budget for travel support for
this occasion but rather keep that for future face-to-face meetings. I
mentioned briefly some key aspects of the applicable travel support rules for
the Team and I take the opportunity here to repeat what’s covered for
agreed face-to-face meetings:
-
Air (or train) transport to venue, return ticket,
economy class (or business class, for substantiated medical reasons), booked
thru ICANN’s travel agency
-
Directly related reasonable expenses (taxi, public
transport, meals etc), refunded against receipts
-
Lodging, either paid directly by ICANN (at ICANN
meetings) or refunded against receipts
This is just a very general outline - for detailed
information, consult the link I sent out on 1 November at http://icann.org/en/topics/travel-support/draft-travel-support-guidelines-05apr10-en.pdf
- and/or contact our constituency travel coordinator, Matt Ashtiani (cc:d).
Very best regards
Olof
