[npoc] Fwd: [EC-NCSG] new NCSG-EC travel support

[Alain Berranger <alain.berranger@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Lori,

I hope you will be able to participate in Toronto. If you do I think it is
advantageous to nominate you for the NCSG-EC travel budget line, your cost
being somewhat higher to travel from Washington than the cost for me to
travel from Montreal.

Please advise soonest as I need to get the info to NCSG-EC and to ICANN
GNSO Secretariat soonest.

We will use NPOC travel budget and/or PIR.org travel budget (if upcoming
negotations are successful) to get other NPOCers and I to Toronto.

Best, Alain
