<html><body><span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#000000; 
font-size:10pt;"><div>Well, here is one idea. It&nbsp;is based on the concept 
that our *primary* goal is&nbsp;to get all Counselors to Sydney and so all 
constituencies will need at least three funded slots (even though they can use 
them as they wish).</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>If that is true, then the RyC and IPC are set with what they have left 
from the ICANN travel funds. The other four fall short. If we divvy up the GNSO 
funds to those four proportionally based on the number of travel slots needed 
to get them up to three for Sydney, it would look like this:</div>

Travel Drafting Team met with ICANN Staff in México ( Kevin Wilson, Doug Brent 
and Stacy Hoffberg).<BR><BR>What we agreed during the meeting was that GNSO 
would prepare a document with those ideas and requirements that GNSO has in

GNSO Travel funding and travel policy<BR></U></B><BR>All GNSO council members 
should be founded to attend ICANN meetings.<BR><BR>All council members 
volunteer their time and the GNSO amount of work is a lot.<BR><BR>The amount of 
work in GNSO is highly increasing due to the GNSO restructuring and the 
different steering committees and working groups that council member´s 
participate in.<BR><BR>GNSO must undergo restructuring and this enormous task 
is unbudgeted and no additional resource is allocated for this purpose. 
&nbsp;Hence, extended travel funding especially in this period<BR>is required. 
If there is additional work, then there is a need for additional funding 
resources.<BR>The workload of the GNSO is, at least in these times, enormous 
and it would be unrealistic for the structures to work by volunteers being 
stretched beyond limits especially without travel support. This support may 
include WG and DT members as the Constituencies may nominate.<BR><BR>It could 
be good if constituencies receive the travel funds and they distribute these 
funds among their members with flexibility.<BR><BR>The budgeted amount for GNSO 
should be monetized and divided equally between Constituencies (possibly SGs if 
there is a proliferation of Constituencies).<BR><BR>Constituency allocation 
should be transparent but at the discretion of the Constituency.<BR><BR>If in 
one Financial Year a Constituency does not utilize and saves its allocation, 
that allocation should be reserved and rolled over into travel reserves for the 
next FY in addition to the budget allocation for the next.<BR><BR>A growth in 
the active participation of ALL GNSO Councilors in ICANN meetings may enhance 
the face to face work of GNSO making it more efficient and also it may also 
benefit the work on teleconference meetings.<BR><BR>It may also benefit the 
participation by a broader spectrum of the GNSO community. <BR>&nbsp;Travel 
funding should not impact registrar or registry fees.<BR><BR>According to the 
proposed budget documents, ICANN expects revenues that will be $13 million "in 
excess" of ICANN's budget for FY10.<BR><BR>A rough estimate of the extra cost 
of funding all councilors' funding for next year is $200K.<BR><BR>It could be 
useful to know a detailed breakdown of the GNSO travel support 
budget.<BR><BR>Also it could help knowing the travel support provided to the
