<div>Hi Tanya,<br><br>Yes, on the point you raised, we are aligned in our thinking. I think there needs to be a radical scaling back of certain programmes, with resources re-allocated to supporting those involved in activities which support the work that the community does.<br><br>However, I also think there should be an element of need assessment used in the allocation of support. It seems bizarre to me that ICANN would fund the participation of certain stakeholders (primarily but not exclusively from the private sector) who otherwise have the capacity to be here -- and would be at the table anyway.<br><br>Finally, I think it is worth reminding ICANN that economy-class travel is a chore, not a privilege, and requiring people to take the lowest cost flight of the day at the most inconvenient time is not great. Where travel is over long distances and involves multiple connections, spending an extra $50-100 a leg to get a ticket in a bucket that can be upgraded with miles would, I think, alleviate some of the discomfort on 2am departures. <br><br>But these are just my views, I'm not sure if we have agreement on all of them.</div><div><br></div><div class="protonmail_signature_block"><div class="protonmail_signature_block-user"><div>Best wishes, Ayden <br></div></div><div class="protonmail_signature_block-proton protonmail_signature_block-empty"><br></div></div><div><br></div><blockquote class="protonmail_quote" type="cite"><div>-------- Original Message --------<br></div><div>Subject: Re: [NCSG-PC] Fwd: [council] FW: Community Resource Consultation<br></div><div>Local Time: 5 October 2017 9:21 AM<br></div><div>UTC Time: 5 October 2017 08:21<br></div><div>From: t.tropina@mpicc.de<br></div><div>To: ncsg-pc@lists.ncsg.is<br></div><div><br></div><div> <br></div><p>I agree with having a call or at least weighing in on the list.<br></p><p>I have a strong position about returning tourism at ICANN -- I

Perhaps we can schedule a call for later this week. I do not
think we have a common position just yet and I hope to be able
to feed into your thoughts my strong views on this issue.
