FYI,
The GNSO will have a special council meeting at the end of August in
Amsterdam. This is a special meeting to focus on the various policy
development processes now underway, including those on new gTLDs and
Registry Contractual Conditions. I can arrange to attend this meeting if the
ALAC would like for me to represent its interests there.

Subject: [council] Travel support for Amsterdam GNSO Council meeting
In order to facilitate GNSO's policy development activities, ICANN will
provide travel support for the Amsterdam GNSO Council meeting (29 - 31
August) for one representative of each GNSO constituency, the
NomCom-appointed Council members, the GNSO Liaisons, and the Chair, as
needed. The terms of this travel support are outlined below and will be
coordinated by Glen. Please contact her directly as soon as possible.
Regards,

1. Designated Council members need to contact Glen directly to confirm
travel support. Each traveler must complete a travel request form
(attached) outlining:
. Dates of departure and return
. Destination
. Purpose of trip
. Estimated costs
. Projected outcomes
Email completed forms to Glen, who will facilitate ICANN approval.
2. Once your travel is approved, please contact ICANN's travel agent

If other travel arrangements are needed (train, etc.), please alert Glen.
Glen will provide you additional information on hotel reservations and
payment.
3. ICANN will pay for the following:
. Economy-class travel booked by an ICANN travel agent or by the
traveler at the lowest possible cost;
. Accommodations at a hotel pre-selected by ICANN.
All other costs will be borne by the traveler including meals, local travel
and related incidentals.
In the case of an upgrade, ICANN will pay up to the cost of an economy-class
ticket as quoted from an ICANN travel agent.
In the case where two consecutive trips are taken (one funded by ICANN and
one non-related/personal) ICANN will pay the lower of the two airline
segments to and from the meeting or the equivalent of a round-trip
economy-class ticket from the point of origin to the meeting.
4. Upon completion of the trip, each traveler is asked to acknowledge
full participation in the Council meeting by sending a brief email to Glen
describing the value realized from the trip, and providing any suggestions
they may have for improving such meetings.
