City meeting need to be completed this month, your organisation may want to use
a "temporary" process for providing a list of ICANN-funded travelers
for this meeting. By <b>22 January 2009</b>, staff needs a list of supported
travelers - 13 names from the GNSO and 12 names from the ccNSO including the
chair and NomCom appointees. (Please note the additional important deadlines
for Mexico City travel are included below.)  <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span lang=EN-US>We look forward to receiving the final, proposed travel
