[NCSG-PC] Travel slot for ICANN79

[Tomslin Samme-Nlar]

Happy new year, Kathy!

I fully support your request. I personally have no problem with you sending
this additional consideration for applicants to consider since the
selection team should also have it at the back of their minds when
reviewing the applications.

Warmly,
Tomslin
