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

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

You're very brave getting up at that time for that call.

I was really looking for direction on where to take the travel funding
debate from here and I didn't get that on this call, which was basically a
"heads-up, this is what we're doing for the coming fiscal year" from ICANN,
but none of the more central questions like who should get funded and how to
stop the inevitable escalation of funding requests.

So no clearly defined questions I'm afraid, but maybe a call for more
discussion on this in Sydney...
