[Gnso-sc-budget] Has ATLAS III been placed on hold?

[Ayden Férdeline]

Dear Xavier,

Thank you for the clarification.

I understood from the attached slide deck (which I am now unable to find on the ICANN website, but downloaded during the Abu Dhabi meeting in October) that ATLAS III was taking place 9-14 March 2019. I presume that this has since changed - I don't track the ALAC all that closely. Thanks again for the new information.

Kind regards,

Ayden Férdeline

I understand from a presentation in Abu Dhabi that this was to have between 225 and 250 (!) supported travellers. Am I correct in understanding that this activity is no longer budgeted for FY19?

Of course, if ATLAS III has been postponed or cancelled, there is nothing here that need be raised... I hope someone might be able to confirm my assumption here. Thank you!
