[RDS-WHOIS2-RT] Follow-up[ on Kobe ICANN Meeting

[Alan Greenberg]

As you will recall, on 01 November, I sent a message saying that we 
were considering an engagement session and a meeting with Board 
and/or ICANN Org to clarify or elaborate on aspects of the final report.

Only two people asked to be considered and the RT Leadership decided 
that there would not be sufficient added value to justify that 
expense given that RT Leadership should be able to cover all aspects 
of the report (since Chris had said that the opportunity to consult 
would have value). Cathrin cannot accept ICANN funds and Susan is 
already separately funded (possibly needing hotel for a couple of 
days), so that left me. I now have air travel provided by the ALAC, 
and so have requested hotel and living expenses from the RT (about 
$2k). To recap our financial position, our original budget for the RT 
was $690k and we are currently projecting a total cost of well under $300k.

If anyone has any questions, please send to the list or to me 
privately as soon as possible.
