> For clarity on roles and responsibilities:
> Seun and Lori correctly indicated in their emails that Leon’s request represented a request for an exception to the travel policy (there is a travel policy which applies to both Staff and Constituent Travel, under Diane Schroeder’s responsibility). Such exception request seems to have received broad consensus of agreement from the CCWG, including its co-chairs (other than Leon). ICANN Staff (Diane Schroeder and I) were therefore considering Leon’s request approved by the CCWG co-chairs, thus considering it a formal request to ICANN Staff to determine whether an exception should be granted or not.
> This is simply because the authority to grant an exception to the travel policy (or any policy) lies with the owner of such policy, not with those to whom the policy applies (Staff and Community, including budget owners in both cases). Basically, budget ownership responsibility of travel costs does not include the authority to grant exception to the travel policy or to modify the policy.
>
> If Leon is invited by the Board, there is no need to even consider the request for exception, since Leon will travel in business class anyway.

Even if it meant an extra night of accommodations, it would minimize the possibility of a flight delay that prevented Leon from chairing the meeting.

> The current budgeted amount to support the work of CCWG WS2 members allocates travel support (travel, hotel and per diem) for an amount equivalent to 20 appointed members or rapporteurs to attend only a CCWG face-to-face meeting. The Co-Chairs have the authority to re-allocate this amount – this could include supporting requests for partial funding to allow them to maximize the number of members attending (e.g. the requestor may ask for any or all of the following: airfare, and/or hotel and/or per diem) or to extend the stay of some key participants.
