[NCSG-PC] Fwd: [council] FW: Community Resource Consultation

[Ayden Férdeline]

Hi Tanya,

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.

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.

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.

But these are just my views, I'm not sure if we have agreement on all of them.

Best wishes, Ayden

I think most money should go to maintain those who really work in WGs or are really engaged in other ways. Not those who can't decide what to join even being at the ICANN meeting for 3rd-4th time.

The aim of this effort is to solicit input from supporting organizations, advisory committees and stakeholder groups to update the ICANN Community Travel Support Guidelines.

>>> A copy of the consultation background document and questionnaire is attached again for your reference. Carlos Reyes and I are available between now and ICANN60 to discuss the consultation with the GNSO. We also welcome the opportunity to meet with the GNSO Council in Abu Dhabi. Individual notes are also being sent to the stakeholder group chairs within the GNSO.
