[ALAC] Further Information about At-Large Travel

[Nick Ashton-Hart]

Dear At-Large community members:

The travel procedure for FY 2009 has been published - available at http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-13aug08-en.htm.

Additional information on how this affects  At-Large travel in the current FY is included below.

For At-Large travel in FY 2009, in addition to funding the At-Large Summit, ICANN will be funding the 15 members of the ALAC to attend the Cairo meeting and the meeting being held in the Asia-Pacific region (location TBA) in June 2009.

The funding for the 15 members will be on the same basis as has been the case for recent At-Large travel to ICANN meetings:

* Hotel
* Per-Diem
* Airfare

Of course, all the RALOs will be meeting during this fiscal year as a part of the Summit, and of course ALAC members will attend the Summit as well.

The result is that overall, At-Large travel is considerably increased for this FY over that provided for previous years. To compare it in terms of the number of attendees, see below:

FY 2008: 35 At-Large attendees funded per ICANN meeting = 105 persons total
FY 2009: 15 At-Large attendees at 2 meetings plus up to approximately 105 attendees at one meeting = up to 135 attendees

Please let me know if you have questions.
