[council] Travel policy draft and other comments

[Stéphane Van Gelder]

Thank you Philip.

I would second such a motion. May I suggest that we simplify things and
leave out the first paragraph?

May I suggest adding a date in the second paragraph, i.e. staff must
nominate a fixed sum by mid Jan (just an example, I have no idea if that
date is feasible)? This so that we move forward long enough before the first
ICANN meeting of 2009 so that both staff and constituencies have the time to
make their arrangements.

Thanks,

Stéphane
