[NA-Discuss] Global At-Large Summit

[Nick Ashton-Hart]

Just FYI all, there is a real budgetary impact to doing this and also  
some other issues. I don't want to be a wet blanket, but nobody  
should assume that this is something that ICANN will provide travel  
or other meeting support for.

We have received a request from you and I have already begun  
discussing it internally. You will be the first to know but there are  
some further costing issues that need to be done - additional meeting  
staff would be required, several meeting rooms, etc in addition to  
travel support, and the cost is variable depending upon which city  
the meeting takes place in.

This would be a major addition to an ICANN meeting on several levels  
- which doesn't mean it can't happen, just that it must be thought  
through carefully.

If it were to happen, the internal planning within the community  
would be global, not regional as you probably know :)
