<p class="MsoNormal" style="vertical-align:baseline">At ICANN79 <span style="color:black">
there was robust discussion during and after ICANN79 regarding travel support. Currently, for each ICANN Public Meeting there are 2 travel slots allocated to each RALO, in addition to the 3 slots allocated to ALAC members. The ALAC’s recent proposed changes
to this travel allocation were met with hesitation across all regions due to what was perceived as top-down decision making.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="vertical-align:baseline"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="vertical-align:baseline"><span style="color:black">The Listening Sessions are intended to allow the ALAC to understand regional and individual perspectives better and fully on this topic to have meaningful discussions moving forward.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
