<div><br></div><div>Dear BC Members</div><div><br></div><div>Please note the attached public comment announcement. I will put this on the BC agenda for next week for a very short discussion.</div><div><br></div><div>Since the travel costs affect the overall budget and operating plan, which Chris Chaplow, our V.P., Finance and Operations, manages for the BC re comments, I'll ask him to undertake our comments/ feedback on this topic as well. I have reviewed both the Strat/Operating Plan/Budget and this document, and it is i interesting that they are not aligned at all. I am anticipating a one hour discussion/working call session, but Chris will determine that, and set up a mechanism to take member comment.</div><div><br></div><div>In the meantime, this is an alert to members that this topic will get a few minutes on the BC call.</div><div><br></div><div>Best Regards</div><div><br></div><div>Marilyn Cade</div><div>BC Chair</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>Comment: The FY12 Travel Support Guidelines DRAFT<br>> <br>> <br>> http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-25may11-en.htm<br>> Public Comment: The FY12 Travel Support Guidelines DRAFT<br>> <br>> 25 May 2011<br>> <br>> The FY12 Travel Support Guidelines DRAFT has been posted for public comment; a copy of the FY12 Travel Support Guidelines DRAFT can be found here [PDF, 518 KB].<br>> <br>> The updated Travel Support Guidelines describe the proposed process for how supported constituent stakeholder travelers may book transportation to/from an ICANN Meeting starting with the 42nd ICANN Meeting in Africa in Dakar, Senegal.
