<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Sans Serif","serif"'>I just found

hours:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Sans Serif","serif"'>= = =<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Sans Serif","serif"'>THIS IS AN
ADVANCED PURCHASE NONRFUNDABLE FARE. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Sans Serif","serif"'>I am utterly
surprised. When I started to inquire about flights to the New Delhi ICANN
meetings and made a tentative reservation a long time ago, I could have bought
the ticket for US$535. Then, in the meantime, it went up to US$590 – and I had
mentioned this also in my earlier mails, always adding that the airfare prices
I quote are subject to possible change.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Sans Serif","serif"'>So this
morning, after receiving the mail above, I contacted immediately my normal
agent again: the ticket is now $695, changeable and refundable – and still
available, if I would purchase it early in the week. And it is exactly for the
same airline and for the same flights for which the ICANN agent would charge
3.7 times more than my agent here.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Sans Serif","serif"'>I remember
some comments in the discussions of the Council that ICANN should not too
easily accept to pay for the expenses which the GNSO Council members incur for
travel and face-to-face meetings. Especially, there was hesitation expressed
about paying hotel costs for GNSO Council members. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Sans Serif","serif"'>In the
meantime we had the GNSO information about the prices for the suggested hotels
– the hotel rates for one night are in the general range of the GNP per person
for one year in Cambodia.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Sans Serif","serif"'>As I am
working as a volunteer without salary since the last 18 months, I would
appreciate: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Sans Serif","serif"'>1) to be
authorized to buy my ticket here for US$695.00 (for later re-imbursement), and<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Sans Serif","serif"'>2) to
receive the difference between the two prices quoted ($2,577.70 minus $695.00),
that is $1,882.70, towards covering hotel costs in New Delhi.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Sans Serif","serif"'>Naturally, I
need an answer within less than 72 hours, as that is the deadline that was
given in the mail to me this morning. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Sans Serif","serif"'>I am aware
that this may raise some difficult questions, but I think the price difference
is so outrageous that I cannot but put this up for wider discussion for a quick
decision now, and towards future policy discussions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Sans Serif","serif"'>Sincerely,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
