Re: [gnso-travel-dt] Re: TRAVEL DRAFTING TEAM COMMENTS NEEDED - Travel funding request from the Vertical Integration WG co-chairs

You make a good point and I was asking myself the same question. We can work on 
a long-term solution, but I frankly don't see any way of coming up with one for 
this short term need.

I was thinking I should go back to the VI co-chairs and tell them that there's 
really nothing that can be done at such short notice.

Do people agree with that approach?
