Also we requested the need for letting GNSO council members to stay for Friday´s Board meeting, allowing one more night of hotel expenses.<br>Kevin and his team will try to minimize possible inconveniences caused by not being flexible with tickets booking, dates, times etc.<br>
He suggested also that GNSO should submit a written comment about the Friday participation requirement once the comment period is open for the travel guidelines.<br></font>
