[Gnso-sc-budget] [information] Excellent announcement by ICANN

[Xavier J. Calvez]

Ayden,
Thank you for following up on this matter and sharing the update with this group.
We were very keen on getting this matter through as it felt like a big “step back” to not be able anymore to publish the travel report and we were all frustrated with the perspective of moving backwards.
The reinstatement was the result of collaborative work of ICANN Legal, Finance and Constituent Travel.
Good example of stakeholders holding ICANN accountable, and ICANN demonstrating its accountability, in this case through continued transparency.

Thank you.

Best,

Xavier

Dear all,

I have noticed that this announcement<https://community.icann.org/display/trvlconstit/Travel+Report> has appeared on the Constituency Travel webpage:
6/23/2019

Notice: Due to the implementation of GDPR compliance procedures, ICANN Travel had suspended the publication of travel reports while a compliance assessment was carried out. After completing the assessment, ICANN Travel is happy to announce that the publication of travel reports, a fundamental mechanism of ICANN’s financial accountability that had been in place for several years, will resume with full disclosure of detailed travel expense information.

I am very pleased to read this, and grateful that ICANN org has taken our past feedback on this matter into consideration. It is great to see that the travel reports are now being published again in a complete manner, and that the past redacted reports have been replaced with complete ones.

Ayden Férdeline
