SSAC Comment on the FY14 Community Travel Support Guidelines





The Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) thanks ICANN for this 
opportunity to comment on the FY14 Community Travel Support Guidelines.  After 
reviewing the Guidelines, the SSAC would like to bring to ICANN’s attention an 
inconsistency in the document.  In particular, on page 4 in Section 3 Travel 
Rules Per Group, the SSAC notes that the rules are not consistent for the 
groups that receive travel funding (excluding the ASO and RSSAC who have 
traditionally declined funding).  For example, the descriptions for At-Large, 
GNSO, ccNSO, and GAC include specifics concerning the costs to include air 
travel, lodging, and a per diem amount for each city.  The At-Large, GNSO, and 
ccNSO also indicate that funded travelers will receive all travel at economy 
class, except for the chair who is eligible to receive all travel at business 
class.  The GAC description omits these latter details, and the SSAC 
description omits all of the details concerning costs and level of travel 
funding.



Since all groups will be expected to follow the Travel Support Guidelines, the 
SSAC suggests that the descriptions should be consistent and contain the same 
information, highlighting any exceptions that may exist.



Thank you again for the opportunity to review this important document.
