>> Thanks also, Michele - I wonder if your comments are most powerful in the context of the next time the pilot is employed (ie, when we seek applications from PDP leaders for funding)? We could note in this report that this is something that we'll take up more robustly in the next pilot.

>>> Agree with Philippe’s notes
>>> I’d also think we need to flesh out that without the travel support they wouldn’t have been able to attend bit. Simply stating that there’s no other travel support doesn’t mean that they wouldn’t have been able to attend. However at the same time I don’t think we need to be prying too deeply into people’s finances etc.,

>>> Thanks this, no objection, I think it’s very good.
>>>  
>>> Merely a suggestion: (**) could be made explicit in a summary after those notes. I don’t have the words but the point is that overall what I understand to be “1 partial support and 1 full support” for the leaders of what is the core activity of GSNO, this is “little money well spent”, to us and should be to the reader of this report.
>>>  
>>> As an aside, the quotes are from individual emails (I understand) and maybe the authors weren’t aware their words may have to be reproduced in a report. Not that there’s a particular issue with the quotes here but moving forward we may want to put that upfront to them when they put forward such requests, if only out of courtesy. (if that is not already the case, I don’t know…)

>>> Hope this is helpful.

>>> Dear Council colleagues,
>>>  
>>> As noted on in our August GNSO Council meeting, we received in the FY18 budget process funding through the Additional Budget Request (ABR) mechanism to run a pilot of travel funding for a limited number of our PDP Chairs/leaders who otherwise would not have received funding to attend an ICANN public meeting.
>>>  
>>> We are required under the Additional Budget Request process to provide a report summarising how the funds were used, and how they contributed to our activities. 
>>>  
>>> Donna, Rafik and I put the attached report to your attention; if you have any objections or proposed amendments, please could you post these to the Council list by next Monday, 10 September?
