[Gnso-sc-budget] GNSO Council's Strategic Planning Session Travel Report is out

[Ayden Férdeline]

Dear all,

I noticed that the travel report has now been published for the GNSO Council's Strategic Planning Session back in January (and the Non-Contracted Parties House Intersessional, which has been combined into this report because of overlapping dates). You can find it here:

https://community.icann.org/display/trvlconstit/ICANN+Face-to+Face+Meeting?preview=/71603563/84224328/2018-02-01%20-%20GNSO%20NCPH%20-%20LAX.pdf

Based on FY18 costs, the daily per diem was USD 50 per traveler, and hotel accommodation was USD 255 per night. My back of the napkin maths thus suggests it would cost USD 6,710 to extend the Strategic Planning Session from two days to three days for 22 people (21 members of the Council, and one volunteer facilitator).

That said, neither we nor the Council manage our own budget here. If we did, perhaps we could suggest means of achieving cost savings. (One idea that I might have put forward, and I am speaking in my personal capacity now, would be to cap visa reimbursements at USD 500 per traveller.)

Best wishes,

Ayden
