I stand by what I said. We are not talking about fundingfor the one
additional day tagged onto the ICANN meeting, but for full funding
including travel. The past "rule" was that we do not do this at
all. That rule notwithstanding, we have funded the occasional
travel request for co-chairs or others who are very heavily involved in
the CWG activities. Itis thatlevel of involvement that is being referred
to here.<br><br>

for care) is that disqualifying any CCWG member travel based on such
criteria as performance should be done in sync with the appointing SO/AC.
Usually I will expect such SO/AC to consider a replacement of such person
and not deny the affected CO a participation slot.<br><br>
There are CCWG members who just joined not long ago, there are some who
only participate on targeted issues, there are various level of
motivations/expertise which would all imply varying level of
contributions by members. There is a reason why the CCWG composition is
the way it is and one of such reason is to ensure balance, representation
and diversity.<br><br>
That said, I also hope that we will observe significant care and prudence
on legal side of things as well. I believe that should receive more of
our focus and attention going forward. ;-)<br><br>

<dd>SO: I encourage Co-Chairs to be very careful with this one. A member
what it is and evaluation should be based on that; it should remain
within the scope of respective appointing SO/AC to determine if such a
member is performing or not.</blockquote><br>
<dd>Careful, certainly, but this must be a criteria for exceptional
travel funding by the CCWG. <br><br>
<dd>We are in a new world where the CCWG will be allocated a finite (and
modest) amount of travel funding. If that budget is exceeded or to
justify next year's funding if we are still running, we will have to
demonstrate that we are using the funds effectively. As the Chair one of
the chartering organizations I expect no less.<br><br>
