<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">A public comment period has
opened today for 30 days on the topic of travel support.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Last year, ICANN created
travel procedures to clarify which members of the ICANN community were to
receive travel support for that fiscal year (2009). At the same time, it was
announced that they would be reviewed after the first year of use.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">As well as that review
commitment, ICANN has received diverse feedback from across the community for
improving the procedures. That feedback covered a number of topics: level of
support; what costs covered and did not cover (e.g. food, Internet access);
booking travel; and visas, among others.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">This comment period is
intended to gather further feedback before revised procedures are introduced
into the FY2010 budget for approval at the Sydney meeting in June.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">A presentation on ICANN
travel support was provided at the ICANN Mexico City meeting in which the
purpose of the travel support and insights gathered from the current year's
experiences were discussed. Links to the materials produced for that meeting
and a transcript are provided below.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The public comment period
will close on 24 April 2009. If you wish to send in a comment, email <a href="mailto:travel-support-2010@icann.org">travel-support-2010@icann.org</a>.
