[Gnso-sc-budget] Fw: Fwd: [TSG-Access-RD] Kobe Travel

[Ayden Férdeline]

I am sharing the below email for information purposes.

This "study group" has access to seemingly unlimited resources, with face-to-face meetings in Washington DC this month and next month, as well as travel funding for all their participants to Kobe. While I do not begrudge any of this, I note that GNSO working groups do not have access to such substantial resources. This inequality is striking.

Furthermore, the "study group" appeared out of no where, as no mention of it could be found in the budget documents for this fiscal year.

> Dear TSG,
>
> You should have already booked your travel for our face-to-face in Washington, DC next month. If not, please do so soon.
>
> Please be on the lookout for an email from Constituency Travel today for travel to ICANN64 in Kobe and book your travel as soon as possible. Regarding Kobe travel, the approved dates of travel are 9 – 15 March. We likely cannot get the entire group into the same hotel, but you will be booked in one of the hotels listed on the meetings webpage.
