[council] Comments in relation with GNSO travel funding and policy

[Tim Ruiz]

Right, I think the Travel DT may want to reconsider the statement we
drafted, giving it more time and thought since it seems clear to me
there are other views I don't think we've considered. 

But more immediate is the need to keep moving foward on the funding for
Sydney. The DT should focus on that for now.

If the fact that we are moving to a working group model is Philip's
concern, then maybe in doesn't make sense to focus on funding
Councilors. In my edits I was simply trying to stay with that approach.
