Because this isn't just about your precious time, but about the
possibility to bring a broader public into these meetings. The
Internet at large, you know...

Sure, ICANN staff will ultimately take care of travel arrangements
for ALAC members and other appointees, modulo the usual little
signals such as not being put into the same hotel as the board
members.

But what do you do about others who are members of this community,
might have valuable insights to contribute, and for sure won't cough
up $500 per night in terms of hotel expenses -- either out of their
own pocket, or out of an expense account?
