I would also agree that by increasing the GNSO Travel support budget
there is not direct new increase of costs to registrars. These costs
should not become a reason to directly pass these costs on to registrars.
This is why i think getting a breakdown of the GNSO specific travel
support budge would be helpful

Thanks Olga.
I feel it important to add that the RC would not like to see any
additional funding impact the fees that registrars already pay to
ICANN. During our discussions yesterday, I got the distinct feeling
that the amount needed for the proposed full funding of would not be a
significant amount compared to the total budget. I would add that
there have been suggestions that as there is no ALAC summit next F,
those costs might be applied to funding, rather than increasing the
full budget.
Thanks,

Notes from the meeting with staff in relation with Travel Policy
Wednesday March 4th, 12:30 - 14 hs
GNSO council members present:
Zahid Jamil
Stefan Van Helder
Greg Ruth
Tim Ruiz
Olga Cavalli
Norbert Klein - Noncom
ICANN Staff
Kevin...
Doug Brent
Stacy Hoffberg
What we expressed:
All GNSO council members should be founded to attend ICANN meetings.
All council members volunteer their time and the GNSO amount of work
is a lot.
The amount of work in GNSO is highly increasing due to the GNSO
restructuring and the different steering commitees and working groups
that council members participate in.
It could be good if constituencies recieve funds and they distribute
these funds among their members.
If they want highly qualified people to volunteer their time to ICANN
they should pay to all travel expenses.
What Olga expressed: GNSO should have same treatment like Board
members in relation with travelling. GNSO is a lot of work and
responsibility and we all volunteer our time.
What ICANN staff said:
Present ICANN Budget for travel 1,5 MUSD.
Today all ALAC is founded.
Some ccNSO members are founded.
Half GNSO members are founded.
GAC is asking for travel founds.
It could be helpful if GNSO prepares a draft document that justifies
founding all council members (workload, volunteer time, etc)
It may be a unified position or different views of the same issue but
all in a document produced by GNSO.
ICANN long term goal is to collect money to benefir larger community
with its work.
Zahid, could you please add more detail into the last part of the
conversation about keeping money from one year budget to the following
year? I could not get the whole idea of this last part of the meeting.
Please those who were presen add other comments that perhaps I missed.
Next steps:
I could draft a new document taking these comments and using our
previous agreed document about travel policy and then I send it to the
drafting team list for your comments.
Then we should send it to GNSO list.
I will welcome your comments.
Regards
Olga
