Dear all,

In order to service your travel needs for ICANN81Istanbulin a timely 
fashion, please submit your meeting database tognso-secs at icann.org 
<mailto:gnso-secs at icann.org>by*Thursday, 11 July 2024. *It is important 
all funded travel air booking is completed by due date given in ICANN 
Travel emails.

Please share with all funded travelers, the travel support guidelines 
wiki space: https://community.icann.org/x/lgvxAg 
<https://community.icann.org/x/lgvxAg> and highlight the communications 
responsibilities section:

ICANN Travel Support attempts to reach a supported traveler four times 
before deeming the supported traveler unresponsive:

  1. ICANN Travel Support sends “welcome email.”
  2. If there is no response after seven business days, ICANN Travel
     Support sends a second email, copying ICANN support staff.
  3. If there is no response five business days after the second email,
     ICANN Travel Support sends a third email, copying ICANN support
     staff and the community group chair.
  4. If there is no response five business days after the third email,
     ICANN Travel Support sends a fourth email, copying ICANN support
     staff and the community group chair.

If there is no response three days after the fourth attempt to reach the 
supported traveler, the community group may substitute another traveler.

A timely response would be appreciated in view of visa issues and the 
OFAC review. The deadline for submissions is critical to allow for 
confirmed reservation numbers as required for visa and travel arrangements.

subject to availability, may NOT be placed in the same hotel as their
