[gnso-travel-dt] Fwd: [council] Old DNSO funds and this year's travel.

[Olga Cavalli <olgac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
any comments on Avir´s message?
As far as I understood this allocation table was considering the available
funds and was somehow agreed by the council.
Am I missing someting? Are there other funds that I am not considering?
Your comments are welcome,
regards
Olga

Hi,

I was wondering whether there would be general support in the council
for using the monies in this account to supplement the travel budget to
Sydney and to Seoul in order to allow all current constituencies who
wish to send 3 participants (Councilors, WG participants, SC ...) .

While we are asking for better funding in future years, we can be fairly
certain that we will not get a raise in support for 2009.  It may make
sense to use these funds for that purpose - i have been asked why we are
holding on to the money in a time when we need more support.

If there is general support, I would like to ask  the Travel DT to
figure out how to make this allocation and then to bring a motion to the
council.

thanks

a.
