[council] Release of DNSO restricted funds

[Gomes, Chuck]

A Constituency may not need the full amount of the equal share. What happens then?

	Hi Chuck,
	
	I don't 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 don't feel they require their full allocation of the DNSO funds.

		How do we know the exact amount if ICANN arranges the travel?

			Hi,
			attached is an email from Kevin Wilson informing us that in  order to release the DNSO funds to support the  travel costs for members of the six GNSO constituencies, he needs a clear  request from each constituency of the exact amount and payment instructions  (e.g., name of payee, account #'s, currency, date of transfer).    
			
			For further details please see the email copied below.
			
			Best  regards

			Dear GNSO Travel Team:
			 
			
			 
			 
			
			I understand that the GNSO approved the  release of the $19,963.79 DNSO restricted funds to support the travel costs  for members of the six GNSO constituencies.  In order to execute the  release of these funds, I will need a clear request from each constituency of  the exact amount and payment instructions (e.g., name of payee, account #'s,  currency, date of transfer).   In the 
			 
			
			request please include a reference to the  GNSO resolution (copied below for your reference) and copy the other  contituencies.   I assume I will be getting 6 requests for US$  3,3327.30. (19,964.79/6).
			 
			
			 
			 
			
			Thank you

			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.
