ICANN Travel Support Policy - Comments

[Imran Ahmed Shah <ias_pk@xxxxxxxxx>]

We appreciate this ICANN initiative for travel support for volunteers in which 
huge amount is involved.
Actually this expense is going to be proposed to acquire better resources with 
intellectual minds to sit together during the important policies making process.

There would be two aspects for motivating volunteers: 
1. First is to obtain their valuable input.         &
2. The second one is to obtain representation from different regions of 
Internationalized Internet (Making the Internet Localized & Multilingual). 

Proposal # 1.
I would like to propose that the community of participants may please be 
increased for the voluntarily representation from different regions. 
I would also like to draw the kind attention that NCUC is not listed in this 
proposed Traveling Support Policy draft 
https://delhi.icann.org/files/TravelSupportExpenseDiscussion_0208.pdf.

Proposal # 2.
A request is being initiated to add "ICANN GNSO Non-Commercial Users 
Constituency" (NCUC ) to avail this facility of travel support because at least 
Non-Commercial Users deserve to receive financial support (comparing to any 
other profit earning organization or individuals who can afford this cost 
themselves). 

Proposal # 3.
The financial assistance & support program may please be reviewed according to 
its primary definition and one who can afford this cost himself or if his 
organization can bear the traveling cost without any loss, those participant 
may please be excluded (with special excuse) from this facility to reduce extra 
burden on the ICANN.

Best Regards
