I entirely agree that would be useful.  The process of negotiating travel 
costs while I was on the ALAC was a chronic pain, and I got the impression 
that part of the problem was that there were rules that while unwritten 
were known to the staff about who qualified for what level of support.

It's perfectly reasonable to give some people more support than others, 
e.g., a board member from Africa is likely to need more support than a 
random committee member from Europe, but it'd be nice if they were up 
front about it.
