Re: [gnso-travel-dt] Summary of today's Travel Support Call with Kevin Wilson

[Stéphane Van Gelder <stephane.vangelder@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have to admit I found the call very disappointing.

There was no real discussion on the core travel funding issues and the only
part of interest was Kevin¹s explanation of what ICANN is planning for the
next fiscal year.

Tim¹s summary is spot on.
