Hi Chuck,
I don¹t think we need to determine that amount. As Kevin says in his email,
it would be logical for him to have 6 requests for US$ 3,3327.30. So I would
think that would be the maximum any constituency could request, but as
discussed during our last Council meeting, constituencies can also request
less if they don¹t feel they require their full allocation of the DNSO
funds.

>>
>>
>>
>> Whereas:
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> At its meeting of September 25, 2008 the GNSO Council created the Travel
>> Drafting Team (TDT) to work on proposals to optimize the allocation and the
>> management of Travel Funding for the GNSO Constituencies.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> At a meeting held during the Mexico ICANN meeting in March 2009 between the
>> TDT and members of ICANN staff, the TDT requested that all GNSO
>> Constituencies receive Funding Slots for each of their elected Councillors
>> at each one of the three yearly international ICANN meetings, with the
>> understanding that it would then be up to each Constituency to allocate
>> these slots according to their own internal processes.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> That request stemmed in part from the recognition of the significant, and
>> ever increasing work loads, that GNSO Councillors face. Work which they
>> carry out as unpaid volunteers.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> Since that meeting it has been identified that an amount of funds left over
>> from the DNSO are available for use should the Council wish to provide
>> additional Travel Funding to those GNSO Constituencies that no longer have
>> enough credits left for their three slots for the final meeting of the
>> fiscal year 2008, in Sydney.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> The funds identified are in the amount of 19,963.79 USD.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> Resolved:
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> That the DNSO funds be distributed evenly across all six GNSO Constituencies
>> in time for the Sydney meeting in June, with the express purpose of
>> providing additional Travel Funding for those persons nominated by each
>> Constituency as recipients to be of said Travel Support.
