<p class=MsoPlainText>Comment Period Extended on Travel Support Policies<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>13 March 2008<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
has extended the public comment period on the development of Travel Support
policies for volunteers who make ICANN’s community-based work possible.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Volunteers from across the globe support ICANN’s
work by serving on ICANN’s various Supporting Organizations and Advisory
Committees. The goal of this assessment of travel support policies is to update
current policies, develop a consistent approach to participation and travel
support, and determine what is sustainable and reasonable in terms of the budget.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>While this not a formal policy development process as
defined in ICANN Bylaws, input is being sought and will be used in the spirit
of the commitment to openness and transparency.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>The comment period is being extended by a week and will
close on 24 April 2008.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>The comment forum, as well as background information, is
available online at <a href="http://www.icann.org/public_comment/#travel-policy">http://www.icann.org/public_comment/#travel-policy</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
